Stockholm Syndrome isn't even a real diagnosis. It came from a bank robbery in Stockholm where the women hostages were thought to be infatuated with their captor. Afterward, a psychologist coined the phrase Stockholm Syndrome and the women were all like, no, we were just trying to not die.
Well, they also refused to testify against their captors and raised money for their legal defense. So there's that.
It fits closer to trauma bonding
Bonus fact: the reason they suspected the hostages were infatuated? Because they were scared by the police going in guns blazing, and didn't welcome them with open arms.
