S1 Episode 15: Self Defense in Healing Trauma | Pretty Deadly Podcast

Kate shares about her own experience with sexual trauma and the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness that can accompany violence and the grieving process. Susie explains how feelings like you can’t trust yourself or that you let yourself down can weigh you down after trauma, but self-defense can help address those issues. She also talks about how addressing our fears sort of physically and head on can help us use our bodies and look inwards to recover from trauma. Also, the “survivor” versus “victim” mentality and how self-judgment can get in the way.
