Join Gem for this episode, "What Happens When... Trauma is Kicking Your Arse".
When they experienced an intense cPTSD flare-up earlier this year, Gem realised their usual supports were no longer enough.
In this episode, they reflect on what helped them navigate being stuck in a trauma response, their experience of moral scrupulosity, the importance of co-regulation and loving community, and the magic of nature for recovery and perspective - all recorded in a cosy bed and then whilst walking by the River Tweed!
