TW: Trauma

Survivors of sexual violence often have to deal with the aftermath of the assault, and some of us don't always forget what happens to the body. "Traumaversaries" are ways that our bodies keep count of trauma, triggers and the sometimes, the never-ending cycles of our worst experiences. "Traumaversaries" doesn't need to be connected to sexual violence. You can have a traumaversary if you've been in a car accident or lost a loved on. But in this scenario, we'll be talking about traumaversaries connected to sexual violence, the flight/fight/freeze mode and how the body always remembers even if our brains don't.

I am joined by guest Jasmine R. to discuss the psychological affects, body responses, trauma and triggers in this episode.
