Trauma Bonding: Why Women Stay With Men Who Hurt Them

Your body keeps score of things you never say out loud. The loneliness. The heartbreak. The man you stayed with too long. Dawryn Nyiramugisha returns to the show, and this time the conversation belongs to women. She breaks down progesterone — what it does, and the strange, real way loneliness interferes with it. She explains estrogen and the quiet power it holds over a woman's mood, memory, skin, and heart. Then it gets heavier: trauma bonding, and why so many women confuse a chemical chain for love. What divorce actually does to a woman — not the paperwork, the biology. And a question most people have never thought to ask: what really separates a woman who has given birth from one who hasn't? Dawryn is a Ugandan holistic sexologist and women's wellness coach based in Nairobi, and she talks about the female body the way most experts won't — plainly, without shame, and without dressing anything up. She also gets into essential oils: what they are, why they matter, and how they fit into a woman's hormonal life, especially when everything is fluctuating and nothing feels stable. If you're a woman who's ever wondered why you feel the way you feel — or a man trying to understand the women in your life — press play. Your body has been trying to tell you something. — 💛 Enjoying Dialogues with Jagero?
