A companion podcast to This Is Actually Happening (TIAH) in which two lifelong friends (and superfans) dissect each episode with empathy and levity – finding humanity between the layers of trauma, healing and darkness. Trauma/Bonded is hosted by Elly Westberg & Therese Garcia. It’s the podcast behind the podcast where we analyze the episode, the story, audience reactions and relate it to our own lives. We are Trauma/Bonded, To the story, To the storyteller, To the listeners, To each other. New episodes come out every Tuesday.

Love having Ellen and T in my ear!!

Great discussions that bring laughter, joy, introspection and deep emotion. I feel grateful to have the opportunity to revisit episodes, learn more, think more and to see a bit behind the TIAH curtain. More, please!
