148. Sarah #47: Trauma Is the Gift That Keeps On Giving


Listen Later

Sarah is confronted with her past trauma history after learning that a parent at her child's school knows about Sarah's upbringing in a cult. She navigates a conversation to clear the air because that parent is reluctant to allow her child over to Sarah's rumored "cult house." Doug acknowledges that Sarah handled the situation without going into "justice warrior" mode, even though her emotions were triggered. Sarah says that she's glad to have had that conversation with a year of therapy under her belt. She's come a long way and is now embracing being a trauma survivor – without feeling like a victim. Because, "How can you victimize somebody for being victimized?"
