I Confront My Mom on my Childhood Trauma | Trauma Bond

We had this Filipino mother and daughter confront some hard issues in their relationships regarding body shaming, childhood trauma, and how our parents shape who we are. Will they be able to talk through their issues and reconnect their unhealthy relationship? #TraumaBond #filipino #filipinoamerican #onedown

Trauma Bond is One Down’s newest show that dives deeper into taboo topics and relationships within the Filipino community. In each episode, Gen X Filipinos, who have immigrated from the Philippines, confront uncomfortable truths and controversial issues in a raw and unfiltered manner with their family. #filipino #onedown

Disclosure: In psychology, a trauma bond is a strong emotional attachment that can form between someone who is being abused or mistreated and their abuser. The name of this show does not refer to the psychological term, but rather is a colloquial usage to lightly describe this format of discussing trauma with our families to become closer. the action of bonding over shared trauma. Our main goal is to raise awareness on these taboo topics within the Filipino community.
