Trigger Warning: This episode discusses non-consensual touch.

In Episode 73 of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey open up about their recent romantic getaway that took an unforeseen and distressing turn. During an exercise at a Tantra event, Lauren was non-consensually touched by another attendee, shattering their expectations of a serene retreat. This experience left them both in shock, grappling with feelings of fear and helplessness.

Lauren courageously shares how she sought immediate support, including a two-hour counseling session right in the midst of their getaway. They discuss Dr. Peter Levine's definition of trauma—fear plus helplessness—and how this concept resonates deeply with their recent experience. Lauren talks candidly about the struggle of trying to process the trauma through her body, acknowledging the immense challenge it presents.

Throughout this heartfelt conversation, Lauren and Trey emphasize the importance of supporting one another as they navigate the healing journey together. They offer insights into how they're helping each other cope and find strength in their partnership.

Join us for an honest and raw discussion about the unexpected, the importance of seeking help, and the ongoing process of healing from trauma.
