In this episode of Resilience Radio, Irvin Eisenberg and Syn Graham explore what scar work actually feels like after gender affirmation top surgery—and how a gentle, collaborative approach can create meaningful changes in both tissue and body awareness.

Key topics include: ✅ Why scar tissue isn't "bad" and how it supports healing ✅ Differences between forceful vs. gentle scar techniques ✅ How scar work impacts mobility, contour, and comfort ✅ The role of safety and communication in clinical care ✅ Why scar work can still help years after surgery

Syn shares their lived experience navigating recovery, working with scar tissue, and finding a sense of ease and integration in their body.
