Trauma Bond is a drama thriller following a woman given an unusual method to tackle her past traumas. It takes her down a path she wasn’t expecting, leading her down a path of self-discovery.

This is a drama that takes us down the road of learning to understand personal problems. It shows us how people can live with them and sometimes the strangest methods can lead to a chance to recover. This feels like it dives into sensitive subjects that not everyone wants to address. With strong performances, we get an interesting way to deal with the pains life could have caused.
