Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Am I A Bad Person?”.
This week on The Search For Serotonin podcast, I am answering that question for you! I share how being a “bad” person is actually subjective. I provide feedback from my IG followers on what makes someone “bad”, how the internet defines a “bad” person, and my own take on the subject. In reality, there are no “bad” people, just humans who make bad choices or have bad intentions. Listen to the full episode now to hear more!

TW: Sexual Assault
This week on The Search For Serotonin podcast, I sat down with Specialist Trauma Therapist, Helen Ferguson, to talk about sexual trauma, recovery, and empowering yourself again! Helen specializes in childhood trauma and sexual abuse recovery, so I wanted to have her back on the podcast to provide a more professional take on sexual assault, since I’ve been discussing my experience a lot recently. Helen shares how both sexual assault & sexual abuse fall under the umbrella of sexual trauma. We also discuss common responses & behaviors people experience after experiencing these types of trauma, and how to recover & empower yourself through self compassion & healing. Also, Helen puts the rumor that “perfectionism is a trauma response” to rest. Listen now to hear our full conversation!
Disclaimer: If you or someone you know has experienced sexual trauma, please reference the resources down below for additional help.
