What is a compassionate witness? Dave and Jules discuss finding the right person to open up with and possible pitfalls.

“Either you own your story, or your story owns you.”

“The bad things that happened to you do not make you a bad person.”

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of a compassionate witness.”
