Stop the Revictimization

Shame often leads to social withdrawal and isolation. (Aakvaag et al., 2018) Decreasing our connections to others increases our vulnerability because while we may be avoiding people likely to cause us harm, we are also losing access to those who would provide protection, support, an increased sense of personal worth, and the expectation of being well-treated. #tuesdayswithtawana is a weekly broadcast building community one episode at a time. As a breast cancer survivor in active treatment, this is a creative way to build community in the midst of multiple pandemics. Let’s build community together.
