Let's Just Face It
Welcome, I’m your host, Luna. Life has a way of leading us through storms — the kind that shake us, break us, and drench us in shadows. But even the darkest skies eventually give way to light, and every storm carries within it the promise of a rainbow.
This podcast is a journey of transformation — where we take the heavy, hidden, and painful parts of life and turn them into strength, wisdom, and hope. Together, we’ll explore what it means to walk through darkness and emerge into light, to reclaim your power, and to find beauty in places once filled with sorrow.
Here, you are not alone. Each episode is an invitation to rise, to heal, and to remember that even the smallest flicker of light can illuminate the path forward.
Join me as we step out of the storm and into the rainbow — one story, one breath, one moment at a time.
Through our storms, we find the rainbow - Luna

30. Trauma Bonding: Why Doesn't She Just Leaves Him?
Trauma bonding is a psychological response to abuse. This happens when an abused person forms an unhealthy bond with their abuser. The person that is experiencing or exposed to this abuse may even develop sympathy for the abuser, this becomes reinforced by cycles of abuse and then remorse.
Trying to leave a toxic or abusive relationship comes with a lot to manage. Not only will you have to figure out how to proceed once you leave this person. It also plays a big part when you have to start planning where you are going to live, and how will you support yourself- if this is something that you could even do, thinking of the things they will use against you, all of these might make you feel like you are tied to this person and it may be hard or even impossible to break away.
This trauma bond comes by the alternating of kindness, intimacy, and "love", if you want to call it that. The reason why this works is because of the good feeling you get when you remember when you fell in love. Those beautiful days when it started, thinking that this is what he is capable of.
