Socks or no socks? Is this even a question? Also, for what might be the first time ever, Money and Nikeeta both end the #QueerWOC year with a boo! Now if only we could figure out what to call them…

*NOTE* Nikeeta’s computer is raggedy so unfortunately there’s a popping sound in her audio. Please forgive her! I tried to fix it but alas...

Nikeeta is solo on this episode...well, kinda. She gives an update about a campaign in upstate NY to provide justice for a Black trans woman, Chanel Hines who’s one of the QueerWOC’s of the week. The other queerwoc of the week is none other than Juju (@itsjujubae) from A Little Juju podcast. Money has a FANTASTIC interview/conversation with Juju that you absolutely do not want to miss! Nikeeta rounds out the show taking a turn at the Tumblr cake questions. It’s no surprise that her answers and Money’s answers are wildly different.

What is a trauma response? Money talks through the 4 paths reacting to trauma can take, and the 5 domains of immediate and delayed responses to trauma.

A trauma response is any immediate or delayed reaction to a traumatic event (remember, trauma is anything that overwhelms your full faculties to cope) that is directly tied to attempting to cope with that event.

Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn (children mostly, but definitely can manifest in adults)

Emotional Reactions

Cognitive Reactions

Physical Reactions

Behavioral Reactions

Existential Reactions
