In this episode of Conversations We’ve Never Had, Candice and Gemma discuss the topic of disclaimers: are trigger warnings protecting survivors or silencing their stories? They explore the tension between keeping people safe and creating space for authentic conversations about child sexual abuse. From navigating social situations to leading professional trainings, they discuss how constant disclaimers can perpetuate the very silence that keeps abuse hidden. This is an important conversation about finding the balance between tenderness and truth, and why some stories can't - and shouldn't - be made palatable.
