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.

YOUR TRAUMA TALKS
Dr. Aaron Poochigian on Poetry, Addiction Recovery, and Redemption on "Your Trauma Talks"
In this unforgettable live episode of Your Trauma Talks, hosted by Rah “MrTraumaTalks” and joined by the beautiful and talented Nicole Cornetti, we give the spotlight to Dr. Aaron Poochigian, a distinguished poet, classicist, and translator whose voice has reshaped the contemporary literary landscape.
With a PhD in Classics from the University of Minnesota and an MFA in Poetry from Columbia University, Aaron’s work bridges ancient wisdom and modern struggle, weaving themes of faith, identity, and redemption into poetry that speaks directly to the human soul.
Aaron opens up with raw honesty about his courageous battle with cocaine addiction, a journey through darkness that ultimately became a testament to resilience, recovery, and transformation. His acclaimed collections, including American Divine and Manhattanite, reflect this lived experience and offer readers and listeners alike a profound reminder of the power of art to heal.
From the pages of The Paris Review, POETRY, and Best American Poetry to the intimate reflections on Central Park that anchor his writing, Aaron’s story is one of survival, reinvention, and hope.
Together, Rah, Nicole, and Dr. Aaron create a powerful dialogue about addiction, recovery, and the redemptive force of creativity. This special episode will leave you inspired and transformed.
