This episode originally aired on YouTube. There is a lot that goes into choosing when and with whom to share your trauma experience. There are many ways you can be met by the person you’re sharing with. We all hope, even if we don’t think it will happen, that we’ll be met with understanding, compassion, and support. Whomever we share with is going to have their own feelings about it. Sometimes they’re angry for you. Sometimes they’re sad. And, sometimes they might be feeling some of those things for themselves. In today’s episode, I share what might be going on when or if this happens and how to navigate through it, whether you’re the person disclosing or witnessing. For supporters, I offer insights into how to respond with sensitivity after a disclosure. Don’t want to wait for the next episode?
