I had 9 full term children. He wanted me barefoot and pregnant. My children were under his mind control, I used to hide in the closet and so I knew what he was telling them. One day when Jesus comes their eyes will be opened and they will know I was not sick or crazy. And I look forward to a true embrace just as we all do.

Interesting that the more frequent the abuse, the more symptoms are seen. Maybe the more often a victim is in fear, the more powerful the moments of “kindness” are to create a bond. If the abuse is more frequent, it would make sense that the moments of non-abuse would create a more intense feeling of relief.

There is also one big difference in hostage situations and abusive relationship dynamics. The hostage taker is a stranger, hence their victims meet them while behaving violently bad. In an intimate relationship, the abuser already has made a connection with his victim, and has shown his good side first until the victim has become attached. This fact alone explains alot when you think about it.

Idk if I had trauma bonding or Stockholm syndrome. I know I was abused in every way there is, but I still felt sorry for my abuser. He had a bad childhood and that instantly mad me feel bad for him. The only problem I had with leaving him though was when I saw or heard him crying. That would instantly cause me to forget about how badly he treated me, but it was never like omg i miss him so much i want to get back with him. And I would beg people not to beat him up. During the abuse I knew he was treating bad but it didn't really register to me that I was being abused i guess its because I felt so bad for him that I over looked it. It seemed at the time he was the only one who was there for me too. lucky for me I stopped feeling sorry for him and then I realized he knew I felt sorry for him. Anyway like I said Idk if I had it or not but I'm thinking maybe people get it because they feel empathy or sympathy towards the person doing them harm.. Their empathy or sympathy blinds them to the truth about the one doing them harm🤷

Agree. I think we feel that way organically but I also believe they, as abusers, will build the | our lives in such a type of structure/model, we are covertly encouraged to believe they aren’t really abusing us, either by recognition or by definition when we do realize there is something wrong about the way they treat us. It took me years to see someone abusing me and their abuse had devastating effects on every aspect of my life. I spent my entire life feeling shame and guilt because of their actions-I was conditioned to believe it was my fault they were abusing me because I was bad in a myriad of ways *(which changed day to day). This Stockholm is real and I have gone through it and I can say this, it is a very debilitating experience to feel so guilty and feel personal shame and feel sadness toward the person who abused me.

It wasn't like that when I was held hostage in a bank robbery; I've had multiple traumas, even though it's only a few.

One thing I didn't hear you mention Dr. Grande, is this: the level of honesty or integrity the victim has, even if it's twisted, becomes an issue in the mind of the victim. I'm a victim of abuse. I felt if I turned against the abuser, after the abuser made me promise I wouldn't tell, that I was destroying my integrity. And, that was one of the last things I had left. I know now, as an adult, that there are times when breaking a promise is justified. But as a child I lacked this wisdom.

Every year since he's been in San Quentin, I've written to the parole board and asked them NOT to let him have parole. He held me & 14 others hostage during a bank robbery, then he shot me when "handing me over" to police. I died for 10 minutes. IMO he murdered me for 10 minutes and that's what I tell the Parole Board. All these OTHER people think I'm terrible but never SAY what they think of me dying for 10 minutes because of what HE did. If it weren't for LA County's Life Flight medics I'd still be dead. I don't want him out. Getting shot, dying & being saved changed my life forever. I can't do things I used to do bc of a loss of oxygen to my brain that will never be revived. He should stay in there forever. as far as I'm concerned.

I was kidnapped when I was 19. He ruined my life. He hurt me. Why would I tell police I didn't want him to go to jail at first? Stockholm syndrome. I do not, even over 33+ years later, remember saying this. My brother said he heard me say it when the police were arresting him, but knew that I didn't mean it. I can't imagine why or how this happens. It's strange but, it's real. I had to bond with him to stay alive. Had I not done that, I don't think he would've ever let me outside, where I got away.

This is such an interesting topic! I've read a lot about cases such as those of Jaycee Dugard and Natascha Kampusch. Both of them resented being suspected for developing Stockholm Syndrome. Jaycee Dugard said in an interview that she resented the term because in her opinion, it implied she had fallen in love with her captor, but she only adapted to survive the circumstances. Natascha Kampusch, on the other hand, resented the term as she thought her feelings and the relationship with her captor was more complex than that (Stockholm Syndrome). I think the problem is that there are many definitions to what Stockholm Syndrome is, and the various media portrayals of it. Also, in extreme cases such as Jaycee Dugard and Natascha Kampusch, they had been in isolation for a very long time (both at least for a decade), were exposed to a lot of media attention after they escaped, and were asked very personal questions by interviewers. They were distressed to begin with, and had to deal with even more distress. In my speculative opinion, they were struggling with telling the world what happened to them and what exactly was the nature of the relationship with the captor and abuser. Perhaps they assumed that if they admitted that at point they felt sympathy for them, people (especially relatives, I think Jaycee Dugard was especially concerned that her relatives thought she was in love with the man) would judge them negatively. Maybe they didn't fully realize at the time that they were not responsible for what happened to them (a lot of trauma survivors struggle with placing responsibility for what happened to them and blame themselves for not doing enough, fighting enough etc). So, in conclusion, to me their descriptions sound like they did indeed develop Stockholm Syndrome, but their interpretation of it was something different and they did not agree with it. That said, it's no wonder and nothing to be ashamed of for having mixed feelings about such a traumatic experience. In fact, it's just one of the very creative ways the human mind works to keep us alive, even when the odds are against us.

Very emotional and mentally abusive. I was with him for 15 years I got with him as a teenager I’m 30 now only man I been with and the last year I was with him is when he got very violent I finally left for my daughter. Me and my therapist was just discussing that I might have this because every session I talk about him and how much I miss him and I still love him and I actually was writing him because he is actually in prison now. I feel alone without him and he’s the only person I feel that fills that void. I get defensive with him and all after all the abuse he put me through I still miss him and get sad about him.

I do believe that people who are continuously abused by someone suppose to love them develop emotional problems , no matter what it’s labeled, that takes help, willingness and time to recover. 🙏

The Stockholm syndrome is crucial in MKultra programming. The trauma-based mind controlled person always has Stockholm syndrome. The attachment doesn't have to be toward the abuser. In a family, the children become attached to each other where they defend each other no matter what. They are not able to have true intimacy with another person and are often narcissistic. They take on the abuser's behaviors and the cycle goes to the next generation, until it is broken.

For me, my analysis of my form of domestic SS and nowadays huge TB, is due to being primed in a family environment where emotional bullying and gaslighting prevailed, and so when I fell in love with a charming, intelligent highly charismatic, funny man who also was a bully, and prone to frenzied outbursts for the trivialist of things at home, I found myself trapped in this cyclical crazy, scarey, walking on eggshells environment with a man who I was hostage to in the marriage because I'd stupidly, over the years, allowed him to gain power over me, so that I was dependent and vulnerable, isolated, and any form of rebellion / sticking up for myself / survival acts meant he would retaliate, threaten me, and ultimately destroy me emotionally... Not making much sense here but I'd still stick up for him in public and believe in him and whilst our marriage is over, I'm trauma bonded to him, in that I don't think I could ever have a relationship again, because... He was the one... Yup it's mad I know but when ya have domestic SS and TB it is not easy to reconfigure the mind and emotions away from the person who actually just kept you 'hostage' with the ever present threat of harm (in whatever form that takes in a relationship) if you make a move to free yourself. I appreciate my perspective is domestic abuse related, not bank robbery scenario hostage taking.

So when I entered this relationship all I wanted to do was help him and care for him and hopefully heal him. I steady psychology myself. I'm not in school for psychology right now. I'm in school for healthcare technician information but I am also going to major in psychology. Michael is to be a trauma counselor for domestic violence, abuse, PTSD, child trauma and drug addiction because those all entail in the whole trauma bonding experience. So thank you very much.

As someone that was in a physically abusive relationship, I would understand the more violent abusive situations having higher likelihoods of stockholm syndrome to be this - it isn't the kindness aspect alone that counts, it is the extremity of violence where ones life is literally in danger, only then does the kindness offer such an important reprieve from the danger and also a recall of what the loved person is "really" like when the victim isn't "causing" them to "react". At least, this was what I experienced, and I suspect it is so with many cases.

He would shout at me whenever I did something he didn't like and force me to do things I didn't want to do, but over time I found myself doing them without his instruction, and even believed that it was normal and healthy. He convinced me that I belonged to him, that I wasn't allowed to do simple routinely things without his permission (eat, sleep, etc) and I had an unfathomable amount of respect for him, for reasons that I couldn't place my finger on. Luckily, that man is long gone now, and I'm on waiting lists for specialist clinics. My best friend and I talk about what I went through on a regular basis, so that I don't slip back into the mindset of "that man loved me" or "I should never have left him". He (my best friend) is the best thing that ever happened to me; I'm so thankful that I'm now surrounded with a support system, and that I don't have to follow the orders of a sick and twisted man anymore.

Everyone’s experience is different, so I can only speak for my own. I was in an abusive relationship for over five years. There are warning signs, which, looking back, I saw, but chose not to see, if that makes sense. I won’t go into those, I’m sure they’ve been covered by others. The point I wanted to make is that I don’t think staying in an abusive situation is the same as Stockholm syndrome, if that is even real. In my case, I didn’t make excuses for him, or feel I deserved the abuse. I certainly feared him, and I loathed him. It was more a case of “the devil you know.” I knew how to avoid his violent outbursts most of the time. I knew how to react to minimize the danger. I didn’t know what I might provoke by leaving. It would be unfamiliar territory, in which I might not be able to minimize anything. I didn’t know, for instance, whether he would target me, who might have some experience on how to protect myself or not, or whether he would attack my child or my elderly mother, or anyone else. Not nearly as important, but worth mentioning, I felt ashamed. Not ashamed for the abuse, but because I should have recognized the signs of what he was, that I allowed myself, a reasonably intelligent person, to be manipulated. The signs were there, and I’m not stupid.

Hey, machiavellian, narcissistic, psychpaths come across as extroverted, charming, attractive, etc. It's a facade, and most girls like this type. Infj/empaths arent abusive but they're a minority and are disliked by women, since tend to be they boring, introverted, too sensitive, too nice etc. Women are attracted to males with dark triadic traits and not gentleness, kindness, wisdom, humility, etc., traits of the empath.

My opinion about Stockholm syndrome is that maybe it’s kind of like a third option when it comes to fight or flight. Maybe this response is triggered when the brain realizes that fight or flight could lead to even more danger so in response to a high stress scenario where the thinking is not clear, the brain comes to a strange but seemingly effective survival strategy to get close and bond with the perpetrator(s) but later forgets that it’s in a dangerous scenario. In short, I believe that it’s basically a third survival strategy that is used when fight or flight is (seemingly) impossible but ends up clouding the mind of the victim to point where it is unable to recognize that it’s still in danger.

I'm from Sweden and even though I was very young I remember the drama "Norrmalmstorgsdramat", the origin of the term. A coincidence made me meet the woman who was at the time of the robbery one of the hostages, a bank clerk , the one who made the calls to the Prime Minister etc. She was no longer a bank clerk but a psychotherapist. She was my supervisor. We didn't speek of it much but she did have a romatic relationship with one of the hostage takers after the incident. Our meeting was years and years later and she was a very competent therapist. She rejected the term "Stockholm Syndrome" but that of course doesn't necessairily meen anything.

Dr. Grande your teaching about the subject is so clear and informative. Life sometimes is stranger than fiction most of all when aggressive colonialism, war and cold wars are happening in succession which creates the ideal conditions for perpetrators to sieze hostages who are already fearful of so much. Interesting who would be most vulnerable to developing stolkholm syndrome. I think it's true that people who have grown up in a very sheltered environment in which people grow used to many creature comforts always while spending a lot of time indoors or who grew up in an environment with no one around who ever had their back are more prone to miss clues that they have been duped and so that makes them more vulnerable to respond with Stolkhom Syndrome because they cannot see any way out of their dilemmas after missing the signs that they are being duped long enough for them to feel like they have no other choices left. When that happens if there is no intervention done to rescue them over a long period of time they could develop anti-social disorder. For example that is happening during arrests of civilians who are being put into prisoner of war camps in North Korea who at one time were being kept there for more than one generation. Which is why I wonder if someone has Stolkholm Syndrome too if they say something like, "Dr. David Susuki is not to be trusted".

I think this subject has the same debate that betrayal trauma theory has. People seem to have a dichotomic view of it - either it does exist or it doesn't exist, which I think is weird for a science-community. Many people who have experienced this kind of phenomenon know that it does exist. The thing that should be considered is how and in which conditions it exists. Our current understanding of it might not be the most optimal, but it sure doesn't help to just say it doesn't exist at all - cause that makes many people's real experiences as non-existing. You mention that higher amounts of abuse and the perceived kindness are contradictory. I don't agree with that, actually it can be the opposite. Firstly, higher amount of abuse means a higher amount of fear, which I think is the basics of trauma-bond (because it heightens the clash between attachment and fear systems - which is the basics of disorganized attachment reactions). If there's not enough fear to make the clash between systems in a disorganized way, trauma-bond doesn't form. Naturally, if a person is more prone to disorganization due his or her childhood, there has to be lesser amounts of abuse for it to happen. Secondly, the more severe the abuse is, the more skewed the whole picture can be. Severely abusive people may for example truly believe they are loving when they abuse, and when the victim is isolated, he or she might believe that too. Severely abusive people can gaslight and make the victim question his or her own sanity, which can result into the victim believing that abuse is an act of kindness at the same time. Thirdly, when the abuse is more severe, then the biological reactions are also stronger. Then even a smallest glimpse of calmness can feel so pleasurable, which on the other hand just reinforces the up-and-down-cycle. The perceived act of kindness is no way a simple thing, and it cannot be measured in a way that people living in normal conditions think it would be. This is the number one mistake people who have never experienced abuse or have only experienced a mild abuse in basically safe environment make. Attachment is a strong human need, and when the situation is very skewed, it doesn't go away, it just gets skewed as well.

Dr. Grande, I was wondering if you might have insight on potential neurological changes in the brain during early pregnancy. I'm sensitive and could feel change in my body before 6 weeks, but at that point I lost the pregnancy. At 5 weeks my maternal instincts skyrocketed and I had not yet learned of the pregnancy. After losing it, I remained much more maternal even years later. For reference I work in daycare and had done so for three years prior. How soon can a woman's brain change and are there lasting effects even with a short pregnancy?

Fear, yes but also I believe it is a personal id toward the abuser | hostage taker. You feel sadness toward them. You somehow very personally connect with the abuser. It doesn’t always happen I suspect...so, maybe it’s endorphins related? I went through this and I felt sorry for the person but also, they could have murdered me so... There was a back and forth of kindness and abuse and I never knew when or what was coming. It was devastating. It hijacked my entire fight flight system and I have struggled for a couple years to get myself back but it permeated every aspect of my life. It is daily, off and on, all day.

Its like everyone I know who had a toxic relationship has this BS. Unless they just stay angry and bitter. I think it also pairs with "Good Girl Syndrome" somehow too. Thats the ' but he had a bad childhood excuse' and 'be the better person and forgive' thing.

One thing I learned about abuse the last few years is that we make excuses for our abuser. We feel empathy but not just that, we care more about them than ourselves. In other words, my feelings and well being are not important. But theirs is. Therefore we sacrifice our peace and harmony in order to keep them ok. A kind of relief from fear of further abuse, even though it keeps the cycle going.

When someone is taking people hostage (literally or emotionally), it seems as if they are trying to force others to see things from their point of view. Like they want people to see them as misunderstood and victimized and to take their side. For the hostage to give in and agree to this worldview would seem to be a reasonable adaptation in a difficult situation. Some hostages know they’re playing a part, others forget.

I believe that I survived Stockholm syndrome. My mother died when I was 11, my father remarried the first woman who said yes, 6 months later. I was moved from suburbia, within a block of all my friends and relatives to an acreage miles from nowhere and didn’t see my friends/family for 9 years. I wasn’t even allowed a picture of my dead mother, she had all my pets put down and I wasn’t allowed, tv or books only a couple records. I was extremely isolated and wasn’t even allowed to speak to my father as she said we were conspiring against her. She would love bomb me and then over the month slowly deteriorate in mindset till I was walking on eggshells, waiting for her to explode. Sometimes it was the middle of the night, she would wake up and rampage throughout the house, threatening to kill either my father or myself. I would hide the knife set in the oven as I’d had her try to stab me on numerous occasions and had knife marks in my bedroom door, she threatened to kill us in our sleep. I learned to read her moods, map her cycle so I knew when to expect an outburst and became extremely attached, she would threaten to leave an do would beg her to stay as if my life depended on it. My relationship with my father and all my other family members were severed so I felt she was the only person in my life I used to fantasise about saving her life and then she’d love me, then she’d see I was worthy. She used to enlist her grown up daughter and her children to dob on me so she’d have a reason to take out her anger on me. I really liked her grandkids but her daughter was horrible and made up lies to get me in trouble. One day my 4 yr old step nephew said if you don’t give me what I want I will tell nan and she will punish you. Even at that young age they could see that I was a scapegoat. I moved out of home at 17 and never looked back, I’ve been supporting myself since I was 16.

I wish Dr. Grande would male a clear distinction between timing - a victim is compassionate/bonding with a perpetrator DURING abuse time, or AFTER GETTING OUT of the abusive situation, when the victim is safe and out of reach of the perpetrator. It looks to me it makes a big difference, during abuse it can be a protective mechanism, but later, years later, when the victim is safe - looks more like a mental disorder to me

And she still to this day meet the robber, when he is out of prison, "he calls me and comes over". He went on to have a stellar criminal career here, it still goes on regardless that he is in his 70s now.... More robberies, theft, burglary, drugs and stuff like that. Judging on the way she sweet talked him in that interview it sure sounded to me like it was and had been more than a friendship over the years. That robbery/hostage situation happened back in 1973, aka the Norrmalmstorg incident.

I came here because of an Arte documentary on Xi Jinping, his youth under the "thought reform" in China (Robert Lifton). One explains his commitment to the chinese CP as a example of the Stockholm syndrome. Since a whole generation went through this painful period, I don't see it as a compelling explanation.

I have a friend who has these behaviors. I believe It's due to the fact that her father, whom she describes as "an alcoholic, angry man/angry soul" was so violently abusive toward her as a child and her mother did not intervene. Instead, she was parentified. Her mother used her good nature as her own personal emotional support system. Plus, she took care of her little brother. She dissociated much of her abuse but has learned a bit from other family members that shared with her. At age four her father forced her to eat her own vomit. She was also forced to eat oatmeal that was physically shoved and rammed down her throat. I have no doubt that she has suppressed fear for her life that was pre-verbal that affects her schema. She tells me she thanked her father for staying with her mother (who I get the impression may have been an addict) and raising her because she claims (he said?) her mother lied and told him she was pregnant in order to force him into marriage. Personally, I believe telling her this is an adultification boundary violation and emotional incest. I believe my friend has a compulsion toward abusers (thank you sir, may I have another?) that stems from the childhood need to find a way to keep her father from killing her. I have no doubt if she were abducted, she would side with her abductor(s) and make excuse for abuse.
