Show Notes
Amanda and Chris unpack the complicated idea of trauma bonds, from Amanda’s relationship with Raffaele during their wrongful imprisonment to the quieter survival mode of early parenthood. They explore how crisis can intensify connection, why Hollywood romanticizes trauma informed love, and what happens to relationships once the emergency ends. Along the way, they wrestle with whether trauma is objective or subjective, how identity shifts under pressure, and whether facing mortality together can create a bond that is destabilizing, transformative, or both.
