In this solo episode, Simone speaks about the difficult but important topic of trauma bonds. A trauma bond happens when a victim of abuse develops a deep emotional attachment to their abuser, something that can feel as consuming as an addiction.

Discussion touches on:

• What trauma bonds are and how they form

• Why they’re so hard to leave

• The link between childhood experiences and adult relationships

• How trauma bonds can distort intuition and self-identity

• Practical steps for healing, from therapy and no contact to creative outlets and gentle movement

  
  

This episode is a reminder that leaving a trauma bond is not like a normal breakup - it requires patience, support, and rebuilding your sense of self. Whether you’re personally healing or supporting someone else, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.

Peace & love forever,

Simone <3
