Lisa Sonni, Founder of Stronger Than Before Coaching, announces her latest work on trauma bonding, offering new insights on why women stay in abusive relationships.
-- Stronger Than Before Coaching, founded by Lisa Sonni, is making waves in the world of abuse recovery with a bold new approach to trauma bond healing. Lisa Sonni, a certified relationship coach and trauma bond expert, has announced a deeper exploration into the psychological complexities of why women stay in abusive relationships. This ground-breaking insight challenges the common assumptions surrounding emotional attachment and abusive dynamics, providing clarity and solutions for survivors.
In her new work, Sonni addresses the often-asked, yet misunderstood question: "Why didn’t she just leave?" By reframing this narrative, Sonni sheds light on the intricate psychological survival mechanisms at play in abusive relationships. The answer, she explains, isn’t about weakness or a lack of willpower—it’s about survival. Many women stay in these toxic relationships because it feels safer than leaving, emotionally and psychologically. It’s not that they want the abuse to continue, but rather, they are caught in a cycle they cannot break without help.
Breaking the Cycle: The Science of Trauma Bonds
Sonni emphasizes that the core issue lies in a psychological phenomenon known as trauma bonding. Trauma bonding is a form of emotional attachment that is formed through cycles of abuse, where intermittent rewards such as affection, apologies, or promises of change keep the victim trapped in the relationship. This behavior, according to Sonni, tricks the brain into associating the abuser with safety and love, despite the harm they inflict. “The good times in abusive relationships are necessary to sustain the cycle of abuse. Survivors cannot see this when they are still caught in it,” says Sonni.
Sonni’s insight into trauma bonding reframes the way survivors, and those around them, should understand emotional attachment in abusive dynamics. She explains that this is not a case of dependency or low self-esteem; rather, it is a survival response that often leaves women feeling trapped in a relationship that is toxic and manipulative.
Lisa Sonni's Expertise Drives Real Change
As a survivor of narcissistic abuse herself, Lisa Sonni brings a unique and personal perspective to her work, making her approach both relatable and effective. She understands firsthand the psychological traps that keep women emotionally bound to their abusers. This lived experience is a key differentiator between Sonni’s methods and other approaches in the field of trauma recovery. "Healing from narcissistic abuse isn’t about proving your worth to anyone—it’s about knowing it for yourself," says Sonni.
Her work with Stronger Than Before Coaching includes evidence-based strategies integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These tools are used to help women break trauma bonds, stop people-pleasing behavior, and regain their self-worth. Through online courses, webinars, group coaching, and one-on-one sessions, Lisa Sonni equips women with the tools they need to rebuild their lives.

Lisa Sonni’s platform has reached over 1 million followers across various social media channels, creating a strong and supportive community for women dealing with narcissistic abuse. Her voice is recognized as a trusted resource for survivors, and her direct, no-nonsense approach has gained a large following. Sonni’s work has been featured in prestigious outlets such as USA Today, USA News, and Impact, and she has spoken at major international events on abuse recovery in cities like Toronto, Playa Del Carmen, and Florida.
Additionally, Lisa’s recent appearance in the documentary I Love You, My Narcissist, alongside renowned psychologist Dr. Ramani, underscores her standing as a leading expert in the field. Her personal journey of escaping abuse and rebuilding her life is a testament to the power of healing, and it serves as an inspiration for others seeking to break free from the toxic cycles of narcissistic abuse.
