So many women (and men) find themselves trapped in cycles of manipulation, emotional dependency, trauma bonds, and relationships that slowly break their sense of self. What kind of relationships are these? Are these Karmic Relationships? Are all Karmic Relationships trauma bonds? Are they all romantic relationships?

This episode aims to bring clarity, awareness, and a voice to the experiences that are usually dismissed, minimised, or misunderstood.

In this episode, we talk about:

-How narcissistic behaviour actually shows up in real relationships

-The psychology behind toxic bonds & trauma bonding-Why victims stay, and why it’s so hard to leave

-The emotional, mental, and social impact of mar!tal r@pe

-Red flags, recovery, and rebuilding your identity

This is not just a conversation — it’s a wake-up call for anyone who has ever questioned their worth inside a relationship.

If you or someone you know has experienced emotional or sexual abuse, you are not alone. This episode may be the first step toward understanding, healing, and seeking help.
