Welcome to Kill The Silence — a survival system for high-functioning survivors of trauma, coercion, emotional abuse, and burnout.

This isn’t therapy speak. This isn’t a self-help brand. This is for people who’ve been manipulated under the banner of “care” and are done pretending they’re fine.

If you’ve ever frozen mid-meeting, dissociated mid-conversation, or outperformed everyone while hiding everything—you’re in the right place.

This is clarity without condescension. Power without platitudes. Tactical recovery without bullshit.

If you're here, you belong here.

This is the audio version of How to Tell if You’re in a Trauma Bond — Even if There’s No Abuse — written and read by Cody Taymore.

This post is about the emotional grip that doesn’t leave bruises — the kind that keeps you stuck even when the relationship isn’t “technically abusive.”

If you’ve ever felt confused, anxious, or like you’re slowly disappearing inside a connection that doesn’t look toxic on the outside… this is the clarity you’ve been needing.

Something happened to me when I was a kid—and for years, I didn’t talk about it. Not because I didn’t remember, but because I didn’t know I was allowed to say it out loud.

This episode is about the silence that follows violation. The confusion, the shame, the guilt that doesn't belong to you. It’s about growing up in dysfunction, learning to blame yourself, and carrying a secret that shaped everything—while pretending you were fine.

If you’ve ever questioned your memory, minimized your pain, or protected the person who hurt you... this is for you.

You're not weak. You're not broken. You're waking up.
