Have you ever felt chained to someone who hurt you, yet somehow, the thought of leaving them feels unbearable? That invisible pull, that unbreakable tie, is not love, it's trauma bonding. Understanding how these bonds form and why they hold such power is the first step towards freedom.

Mental health is your daily operating system.
If your mind is overwhelmed, everything else breaks down: your relationships, productivity, focus, and sense of purpose. It doesn’t matter how successful, beautiful, intelligent, or spiritual, you are if your mental health suffers, every area of your life feels it.
Let’s uncover the truth about mental health. Not the sugarcoated, social media version. The raw, real, and relevant truth.
