In this episode, One Down sits down with Dr. Stacey A. Litam, a licensed clinical counselor, sexologist, and Forbes Health advisor, to break down how our childhood dynamics shape our adult romantic patterns. From protest behaviors to avoidant shutdowns, we explore how Filipino-American families, cultural expectations, and generational trauma intersect with love, intimacy, and connection.
Whether you’re chasing closure, pulling away, or working on building trust, this conversation will help you recognize your patterns and start the healing process.

Trauma Bond is One Down’s newest show that dives deeper into taboo topics and relationships within the Filipino community. In each episode, Gen X Filipinos, who have immigrated from the Philippines, confront uncomfortable truths and controversial issues in a raw and unfiltered manner with their family. #filipino #onedown
Disclosure: In psychology, a trauma bond is a strong emotional attachment that can form between someone who is being abused or mistreated and their abuser. The name of this show does not refer to the psychological term, but rather is a colloquial usage to lightly describe this format of discussing trauma with our families to become closer. the action of bonding over shared trauma. Our main goal is to raise awareness on these taboo topics within the Filipino community.
