What’s the difference between kink and coercion? How do trauma bonds form—and why do people stay in abusive relationships? In this powerful episode, sex and relationship coach Kiley George sits down with trauma-informed therapist Dr. Emma Smith, PhD, to unpack the ongoing Sean “Diddy” Combs trial and what it reveals about consent, power dynamics, and survival responses.
From celebrity influence to “freak-off” parties and nervous system shutdowns, we explore how trauma shapes relationships—especially in non-monogamy—and how to reclaim agency, safety, and self-awareness in the bedroom and beyond.
Topics include:
- The psychology behind trauma bonds
- What real consent looks like
- Public gaslighting, kink myths, and the Diddy trial
- Why your body might be saying “no” even when your mouth says “yes”
Whether you’re healing from toxic love or rethinking everything you thought you knew about desire and safety—this one’s for you.
