Podcasts about trauma bond

Sponsored recommendation:Growing in Love for Life This episode is a reframe. If you have already learned what a trauma bond is and how it forms, this is not that episode. This is about the specific pain of healing from one, and why that pain is so often misread as grief when it is actually withdrawal.I walk through the difference between grieving something real and healthy versus craving a chemical response your nervous system was conditioned to need. If you are in the stage where you know something is wrong but cannot make yourself leave, this episode is for you.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

Hope watched the impact of the theater of Criminal Court and the judge having the final say asking, 'where are the kids going to go?' However, he was well aware of the placement of her grandchildren.

Sponsored recommendation:Growing in Love for Life Someone recently asked if I'm dating, and my honest answer was "traumatized." In this episode I talk about why that word fits better than a simple yes or no, why a recent connection activated me so quickly, and why my nervous system goes numb instead of excited at the thought of dating.I get into how healing recalibrates the way we read people, why familiar can feel safe even when it isn't, and why real consistency can feel boring at first. I also talk about the messy middle of healing, the part most people want to skip, and why it's actually where the real work happens.If you want support working through any of this, you can find me at emotionalabusecoach.com.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

Sponsored recommendation:Growing in Love for Life I break down why parallel parenting is a communication strategy built specifically for high-conflict dynamics, not a failure of one. I talk about what it actually looks like in practice: handling your own parenting time independently, limiting contact to essential topics, and removing the opportunities a high-conflict co-parent uses to twist your words or pull you into chaos.I also get into why this matters for your kids. Children don't need both homes to mirror each other. They need at least one that's emotionally predictable, and that predictability helps them regulate, trust their own instincts, and understand that love doesn't have to feel confusing or conditional.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

In this episode I break down pattern blindness, one of the least talked about reasons survivors stay stuck in self-doubt. I explain why family court and even well-meaning friends tend to evaluate coercive control one incident at a time rather than seeing the system those incidents create together. I talk about my own experience trying to name what was happening in a past relationship, why the cycle of tension, rupture, and reconciliation keeps hope alive, and why documenting the pattern matters so much in custody proceedings. If you have ever wondered whether you were overreacting, this episode will help you understand what your nervous system already knows.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

T.I. also dives into his recent music, including "Let Em Know" and "Trauma Bond," while offering a rare look at how his children—King, Domani, and Messiah—are carving their own paths in the industry by evolving different facets of his own artistic DNA. It’s an introspective and candid conversation with one of hip-hop’s most enduring icons about legacy, family, and the mindset of a fan-turned-legend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send a textIt often begins quietly, the tired heart, the heavy body, the loneliness that no one sees. The pressure, the unspoken trauma, the responsibility that never seems to end. And for so many women, the nightly glass of wine becomes the fastest way to silence what hurts… not because they want to escape life, but because they've been surviving it alone.In this episode of The Dimple Bindra Show, we explore a truth many women are living in silence:  Drinking to Numb Your Pain Here's the Self-Love Talk No One Gave You.Today's conversation is raw, spiritual, and deeply honest.My guest, Gina Kunadian, is a wife, mother, massage therapist, TEDx speaker, host of the Shine Within Podcast, and a woman who has been sober for over seven years. But her story began in the darkest corners of trauma, addiction, relapse, and a hospital visit that became her divine turning point.Together, we talk about:Why women drink to numb emotional painHow childhood trauma, especially sexual trauma, wires the brain toward coping through substancesThe moment alcohol transforms from “casual” to “dependency”Relapse cycles, functional alcoholism, and why willpower alone doesn't workThe truth about “entities,” blackout behavior, and spiritual vulnerability during addictionWhat surrender actually looks like — emotionally, physically, and spirituallyHow Gina rebuilt her life, her identity, her femininity, and her faith after hitting rock bottomThe steps women can take if they suspect alcohol is becoming their coping strategyThis episode is not just about addiction.It's about self-abandonment, self-soothing, spiritual awakening, and the moment a woman finally decides: I'm done breaking myself to survive my life.Follow Gina Kunadian Here!✨ Not sure why you keep choosing pain over peace? Take the free WHY YOU GOT BETRAYED QUIZ and uncover the pattern you didn't even know was holding you back.If you can't eat, can't sleep, and keep replaying the betrayal in your head, this book was written for this exact moment.

This episode puts words to what a trauma bond feels like before there is language for it. The quiet erosion. The logic loops. The way your needs slowly become “too much.” The way calm, rational explanations are used to invalidate your emotional reality. The way you start rehearsing conversations, monitoring your tone, silencing yourself, and shrinking—just to keep the peace.This is not a story about explosive fights or obvious cruelty. It is about subtle control, emotional superiority, and the kind of psychological manipulation that makes you doubt your own perceptions while trying harder and harder to make the relationship work.In this episode, you'll hear:Why trauma bonds don't feel abusive while you're in themHow “logical” partners can still be deeply emotionally abusiveWhat cognitive dissonance does to your sense of selfWhy your nervous system starts reacting before your mind catches upHow silence, self-erasure, and hyper-independence become survival strategiesWhy “just leaving” is not simple—and never wasSupport the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

Sarah AND Susie had MRIs (separately, but still), and let's just say it didn't go well. Hear them trauma bond about it. We learn that cows have accents depending on where they live, and even their mood and what they're mooing about. And we learn how we even know that. We discuss how inspired we are by the work and life of Jane Goodall, and how her legacy will live on. We talk about how there are different expectations for different circumstances and how standards change all the time and expectations affect our perceptions. We learn about a school that is limiting the number of times students can use the bathroom, and we debate whether this is a good policy or not. And Sarah reveals the difference between having an orgasm with a woman vs. having an orgasm with a man.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

If you find yourself obsessively attached to someone who hurts you, is it a sign of a trauma bond? I'll tackle this challenging subject, shedding light on why you might stay in a relationship despite enduring hurtful behavior and what this could mean for your sense of self-worth and emotional well-being.

The emotionally abusive relationship can sometimes be hard to define. How long must abusive behavior go on before actually admit that what's really happening is abuse?
