Linda describes experiencing two traumatic incidents - a dating-related assault in college and a stranger rape in her apartment - that she initially suppressed due to shame and humiliation. She explains how her journey to healing began when she entered a counseling program and experienced PTSD symptoms after discussing rape therapy in class. Linda discusses the challenges of therapy, including her reluctance to talk about traumatic experiences and her need to prepare lists of topics beforehand. She describes how therapy helped her understand the connection between her trauma and current anxiety, including realizing she had felt like she was going to die during the assault. The conversation explores how lack of communication about sexual boundaries contributes to trauma, and Linda emphasizes the importance of teaching young people to discuss consent and boundaries openly. The episode concludes with information about Linda's book "Breathing Therapy: Rape, Buried Trauma, and the Triumphant Journey Over PTSD," available on Amazon under the name L.
