In episode of 4 of Embrace Olivia, Dilsah and Kendra breach the subject of triggers. Olivia (she/her) is a survivor of incest and Dilsah (she/her/they/them) is a survivor of violences.

In this discussion Olivia and Dilsah define triggers, share their old strategies for dealing with triggers and explore how somatics has shifted their relationships to and ways of thinking about triggers. In the spirit of ‘emergent theory’, they also name their current trigger edges.
