ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Whitney's story is what happens when pain trains you to confuse chaos with love. She lived through psychological abuse and got trapped in toxic relationships. Whitney explains trauma bonding like addiction. Love bombing. Then manipulation. Then withdrawal. Her breakthrough came in August 2021 when she cut the relationship cold turkey. She later self-admitted into a behavioral health unit to save her life. That's what survival looks like sometimes.
