re: victimization

People love to imagine victimization like it happens in dark alleys—like trauma survivors are just walking smack dab into the thick of it.But that's not how it works.In "re: victimization," we discuss why survivors of childhood trauma sometimes encounter similar harm later in life and why that pattern has nothing to do with being weak, careless, or "asking for it."Predators don't start with crimes. They start with tests—small boundary violations to see who has been conditioned not to push back.We discuss nervous system conditioning, red flags, military sexual trauma, and the difficult process of learning to trust your instincts again.Content note: This episode contains discussion of childhood SA, trauma, and military sexual assault.
