Get ready to experience a metamorphosis through your trauma! Just in time for the festive season! Today we have licensed Marriage and Family therapist and HIV Prevention specialist, and author, and host of TubTalks Damon L. Jacobs to help us navigate how past trauma impacts our relationships. We talk about little ‘t’ trauma and big ‘T’ trauma, and some ways that when we examine and heal from these as they occur, they can show up in our relationships, as well as in our partners. We also explore Ghosting! Getting ghosted, what is going on when this is happening, how to have compassion for those who we feel have wronged us, taking back our own agency, and how that inner love and energy has to come from within. This episode does address issues around abuse, and sexual violence, so if these are topics that might be triggering for you, please take care of yourself as you listen.
