Abstract

Dr. Melissa Kalt shares her journey of overcoming Covid, which led to a period of profound spiritual transformation and introspection. During her recovery, she was compelled to focus on what she truly wanted to do, which was to create a workshop to help others break their trauma bonds. These bonds, often a result of narcissistic abuse, are deeply

Can Covid Have a Silver Lining?

It does, if YOU have a trauma bond

I’ve missed you. Okay, I’ve missed you a lot.

Covid kicked my butt. I’m pretty sure I got two strains about two weeks apart. It’s been two long months.

I’ll have much to say about it later. (It was a time of profound spiritual transformation.)

But here’s why it matters to you…

Once I got past the scary part, I hit the period of endless sleep — literally unable to stay awake more than 2–3 hours without needing a 2–4-hour nap. I let go of my beliefs about what needed to be done and focused the 1–2 hours of bandwidth I had per day on what I wanted to do.

And last week what I wanted to do with that time was create a workshop for you — so I did.

I created what I wished I had years ago — a workshop to break your trauma bonds.

You see, while the trauma bond was created by the narcissist, the process was set in motion long before. The narcissist was just the catalyst.

Have you ever wondered…

Why me?
Why did I move forward when my gut said it was wrong?
Why did I ignore the red flags?
Why did I make excuses for horrendous behavior?
Why did I allow myself to be treated this way?
Why did I stay so long?
Why did I beg them to come back?
Why did I hope they’d come back after praying they’d leave?
Why do I keep thinking about them?
Why can’t I move on?
Why do I keep attracting new narcissists???

That is the trauma bond.

And it can be broken.

The trauma bond is your unique map to wholeness

More importantly, becoming whole prevents you from developing a new trauma bond. Suddenly, you’re no longer the ideal target. You’re no longer an easy source of narcissistic supply.

You are unapologetically you.

That’s what I want for all of you. And this is why Breaking the Trauma Bond is now a cornerstone of the Antifragile Jumpstart program.
