DJ and Dennis Mental Health Podcast “We’re Not Experts — Just Honest.”

Episode 2: Is This Love or Trauma? Understanding Trauma Bonding

Darryl R. Thomas, Jr and Dennis Peavy, III

In Episode 2 of DJ & Dennis: We’re Not Experts, we dive into one of the most misunderstood dynamics in relationships — trauma bonding.


Have you ever felt chained to someone who hurts you? Confused by cycles of abuse and apology? You’re not alone.


We explore:

    •    What trauma bonding actually means — and how it differs from healthy love

    •    Common red flags and emotional loops that keep people stuck

    •    Why walking away can feel impossible, even when you know you should

    •    Practical tools to begin healing and building emotional distance


This conversation is for anyone who’s ever questioned whether what they feel is love… or something deeper and more damaging.
