I am so excited and honored to have therapist and author Tasha Hunter, MSW, LCSW on the Still Becoming podcast. This episode in itself has the potential to be a very healing experience for some listeners. Tasha embodies the kind of safety she describes in this conversation. And her description of finding, and becoming safe people for one another is incredibly impactful, and a description you may have never heard before. Tasha also describes for us the power of telling your story in healing from trauma, specifically how in the telling you are validating your own experience. We discuss forgiveness, and what that does not have to include. And finally, I hope you will listen to the end to the beautiful answer that Tasha gives to our final becoming question.

Tasha Hunter is an Air Force veteran with a Master’s degree in Public Administration and Social Work. She’s a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and resides in North Carolina.
