Help! I Still Have Childhood Trauma From Bad Teachers

On today’s episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren read a Good Body Grab Bag from a listener who continues to wrestle with some abusive messaging she received from an acting teacher as a young teenager. Our lovely listener is wondering if she should confront this teacher since they are still teaching or if it’s better to leave well enough alone. This sparks a conversation about whether or not we have a moral responsibility to call out abusive behavior as well as how we grapple with the toxic messaging we received during our most formative years. This episode gets kinda deep and does open with a content warning so strap in. We close out the show with a quick word from Dr. Naomi of Betches’ own Oversharing podcast since Emily and Lauren were a little stumped.
