In this episode of the Chris Senise Podcast - "Loving You Is Hurting Me" - I'm joined by Dr. Laura Copley for a conversation that explores the complexities of relationships, trauma bonding, and generational patterns. She breaks down trauma bonding in a way that goes far beyond the pop-psych headlines, offering a deeper, more compassionate look at how two people can unconsciously recreate the wounds of their past, not because they’re toxic, but because they’re human. We talk about the masks we learn to wear as kids, the roles we take on to survive, and what it means to finally step into authenticity without fear.Dr. Copley is a psychologist, author of "Loving You Is Hurting Me" and creator of the course "Untangling the Trauma Dance". She's dedicated to helping individuals understand the patterns that shape their relationships and heal from generational and personal trauma. She is also host of the "Tough Love Podcast", where she explores the intersections of attachment, trauma, and human connection, giving listeners practical insights to navigate relationships with clarity and self-awareness.From generational cycles to becoming a more conscious parent than the ones who raised us, this conversation is layered, honest, and full of those grounding reminders we all need:✨ You can untangle the patterns✨ You can rewrite the story✨ You’re allowed to show up as the real you, not the version you were trained to be.If you’ve ever looked at your relationships, your childhood, or your own choices and thought, “Why does this keep happening?”, Dr. Copley has this incredible way of honoring the pain, calling in accountability, and still reminding you that none of this is your fault… while all of it becomes your responsibility.🔔 Subscribe, like, comment, and share to catch this and other episodes of the Chris Senise Podcast. #chrissenisepodcast #drlauracopley #relationships #traumabonding #traumaspecialist #healingjourney #personaldevelopment #authenticconnection #podcast #podcastepisode #podcastinterview #liveyourbestlife #becomethebestversionofyourself *********************************************************Find more episodes at https://open.spotify.com/show/2OOvq5TePoSPvwR1SjL0MZ?si=7715aec5d0ca4360
