Have you ever questioned why it’s so hard to leave a relationship that hurts you?

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Nadine “Nae” Macaluso—therapist, author, and real-life inspiration behind Naomi in The Wolf of Wall Street. Together, we unpack what trauma bonds really are, how they form, and why even smart, self-aware people can find themselves stuck in them.

Dr. Nae blends her professional training in somatic psychotherapy with personal experience to offer compassion, context, and clarity for those navigating confusing or emotionally intense relationships.

In this episode:

- Why trauma bonds often start with intensity, not obvious harm

- What keeps people stuck (even when they “know better”)

- How building awareness—gently—can be the first step forward
