Healing, Trauma & Disassociation | Surviving Sexual Assault & Child Abuse w/ Kristi Morris
In this episode, we delve into how sexual assault, childhood abuse, and early dissociation shape trust, identity, and coping mechanisms in trauma recovery—a survivor’s poignant story shared by Kristi Morris.
Join us for a candid discussion on the importance of language and validation in healing, and learn how finding safety is essential in navigating the aftermath of trauma. This is Part 1 of a 2-Part series.
In this episode, Kristi shares her journey through an unsafe home environment and the mistrust toward men that developed. She discusses how she used dissociation as a survival strategy and how immersing into a fantasy world provided an escape.
We cover:
- Unhealthy home dynamics and caretaking burdens experienced before age 15
- Dissociation as a survival mechanism and steps toward grounding
- Using a fantasy world as a protective escape
- The critical role of language and validation in the trauma recovery process
- Resilience: how to face the past without erasing it
