Often, this podcast discusses how survivors of domestic violence, their children, and sometimes the people who act as their support and safety network,  are survivors of traumatic experiences.

The topic of trauma appears often because understanding trauma, how common it is, how it works, and how it affects the way a survivor interacts with the world is crucial in being an ally.

Not only is trauma more common than historically viewed, it has long lasting consequences for those who experience it.  Trauma can permanently alter the way a person acts, thinks, feels, and responds, even in ways that we don't expect.

However, we as a society still have yet to fully understand, utilize, or even acknowledge the cause and effect of trauma on survivors.
