Let's talk about trauma responses

Let's talk about doing the work

If you’ve ever wondered what “doing the work” means, this episode is for you! Spoiler alert - it’s not easily defined, is very nuanced and varies person to person. Join us in a conversation where we unpack the complexities and discuss what it means to us!

Let's talk about triggers

We’re following up our last episode on trauma responses with all things trigger: trigger warnings, being triggered or unsafe versus discomfort and activation. We also dig into the ways in which terms are being mis (and over) used and leave you with some concrete things to get curious about in your own exploration of these topics. The big question we leave you to consider is: am I really triggered/unsafe or am I just trying to avoid discomfort?

Let's talk about trauma responses

Unpopular opinion - that TikTok you saw that made you believe your (insert behaviour here) is a trauma response might be doing you more harm than good. Join us in this conversation where we share our controversial opinion on why the popular tendency to label a wide range of human behaviours or qualities as trauma responses can be highly problematic. We dig into things from all angles, exploring why our opinion itself might be biased. We’d love to hear from you: let us know if you agree, disagree, or have a completely different take all together!

Let's talk about mental health stigma

Mental health stigma is present all around us. In this episode, we share a conversation that unpacks this big topic at the systemic, societal, interpersonal and individual levels.

Let's talk about the hiatus

Probably our most vulnerable episode so far!! Well, we’re back and we’re here to share vulnerably about where we’ve been and why we had to take an unplanned hiatus from the podcast. It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but we think it’s important to share our humanness and practice what we preach in terms of boundaries, self-care and honouring our capacity. We’re all set to finish up season 2 and can’t wait to share the rest of the episodes with you!
