This week Trixi (she/her) aka The Thoughtful Beast and I sit down to talk all about trauma. We have a super entertaining conversation about complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), what has helped Trixi in healing, why healing is worth it, intergenerational trauma, stigma, shame and how it intersects with culture, and so much more.
Content warnings: Detailed discussion of trauma (kidnapping, sexual abuse, neglect, threats of murder, emotional abuse, war, physical violence), swearing, mentions of self-harm, suicide, and dissociation.
Find Trixi at https://thethoughtfulbeast.com/ and listen to her podcast "Ready to Talk", an intentionally intersectional show that focuses on mental health. Follow her on Instagram & Twitch @thethoughtfulbeast and check her out on YouTube!
