DFTW 8 - Bombshell is an honest look at the truth and pain of trauma bonds.

02/24/20 • 20 min

The movie Bombshell shows a very real situation that many people are struggling with, being hurt and feeling trapped to actually do something about it.
This is called a Trauma Bond or Stockholm Syndrome which is a condition that happens when the victim develops a psychological alliance with their abusers during captivity or abuse. Emotional bonds may be formed, between captor and captives, during intimate time together and abuse. These are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims.

Many people are in the middle of this right now, and it is my hope that this episode will be an aid on your path to freedom.

Social isolation is killing us, and why social media isn't to blame.
Our prison system makes solitary confinement an extreme punishment, and yet many voluntarily enter into it on their own. We were made for community - Not for isolation.
In Episode 7 we look at Social Isolation and how to fight it, instead of letting it control who we are meant to be, in community.

Unlike most forms of “talk therapy”, which is almost impossible for those with trauma to engage in. Since talking about it brings up very strong emotions that rise up from the original trauma or painful experience.
EMDR has been one of the most helpful modalities of therapy for me as well as many others around the world. Please listen to learn more about this fascinating therapy technique.
