Trauma Talk Thursdays
Please note that this podcast is created with the intention of providing individuals with a platform to share their personal stories of overcoming trauma and adversity. The purpose is to inspire and empower listeners by showcasing the resilience and success of these individuals.
However, it is important to be aware that some of the discussions around raw trauma experiences may evoke strong emotions and potentially trigger personal memories or emotions related to your own life or someone you know. We apologize in advance for any distress caused by these discussions.
Our primary goal is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals can find solace and connection through shared experiences, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles. It is our sincere hope that these stories will foster understanding, empathy, and healing.
Please exercise self-care and discretion while listening to the podcast. If you find that certain topics or discussions are triggering or overwhelming, we encourage you to take a break or seek support from a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional.
Thank you for your understanding and for joining us on this journey of resilience and growth.
