Jules and I listen to and discuss the third part of episode 63, where Taylor talks about the impact of avoidance and the dysregulation in response to care in therapy.  She also talks about protector parts being hurting parts, dealing with difficult aspects of sexual abuse, and the body naturally responding to sex even during abuse.  We process this with Jules, discussing grooming and the impact of that in Memory Time in Now Time.  This is a very sensitive episode.
