The Loneliness of Surviving

In this episode, EG opens up about the loneliness of surviving; how trauma doesn’t just take something from you, it leaves you with the aftershocks long after. She talks about the story of Kayla Malec and dives deep into the different kinds of loneliness survivors face: the grief for the person you were before, the disconnect from the world around you, and the complicated feelings toward the version of you that did what she had to do to survive.It’s not clean. It’s not linear. But you’re not alone in it. Trigger Warning: This podcast discusses sexual violence. See the episode description for more information.
