403: Real Love vs Trauma Bonding: How To Tell The Difference And Heal

“Just because it feels intense does not mean it’s love. Sometimes it’s simply your wounds shaking hands.”

What if the intense connection you keep chasing… isn’t actually love?

In this powerful episode of SoulTalk, I dive deep into the difference between true, soul-aligned love — and trauma bonding disguised as passion. So many of us have been conditioned to equate emotional chaos with chemistry. But real love? It doesn’t spike your anxiety. It soothes it.

I break down how early wounds shape our patterns in relationships, why we confuse familiarity with fate, and how the nervous system plays a hidden role in who we’re drawn to. I’ll also share personal stories, raw truth, and grounded spiritual insights to help you recognize when you’re stuck in a trauma loop — and how to finally break free.

If you’ve ever asked: “Why do I keep attracting the same kind of relationship?” “Why does love feel so exhausting?” …this episode will give you clarity — and a path to healing.

You’ll learn how to rewire your nervous system, reconnect with your inner child, and feel the difference between drama and devotion. This isn’t about blame. It’s about liberation.

Tune in now and discover what real, healthy, soul-nourishing love actually feels like — and how to stop calling chaos your soulmate.
