Episode 446. The psychology of Stockholm Syndrome
The term “Stockholm Syndrome” is used to explain why someone might defend, protect, or feel attached to a person who has harmed them - but why does this happen? In this bonus episode, we explore where the term came from, some famous cases, and how the mind functions to keep us safe.
We explore: • The 1973 bank robbery • Famous cases linked to Stockholm syndrome • The role of appeasement • How it relates to trauma bonding • Why dependence breeds attachment • How those experiencing Stockholm syndrome are supported
