Episode 135: Exploring Repressed Trauma
Repressed trauma refers to traumatic experiences that an individual has experienced but has consciously or unconsciously suppressed or repressed the memory of it. This can happen as a coping mechanism, as the memory of the traumatic experience may be too overwhelming or painful for the individual to process. Repressed trauma can have a profound effect on a person's mental health and well-being, as the memories and emotions associated with the trauma may resurface later in life and impact the individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
In this episode, VSC's Violence Prevention Educator, Hannah Jenarine, speaks with Survivor, Ralph Reinert, and VSC's Victim Advocate, Nicola Prichard. They delve deep into the topic of repressed trauma share information to understand the mechanisms behind repressed memories and the effects they can have on mental health. We also hear about Ralph's experience with repressed trauma and learn about his journey towards healing and recovery.
