Healing Reflections

Healing Reflections is a long-form, intimacy-forward podcast that explores trauma, recovery, and the small obsessions that steady us through it all, told through the lens of autistic experience. Each episode pairs a frank reflection or interview about a traumatic chapter with a 10–15 minute Special Interest reprieve where the host celebrates a beloved cultural touchstone. The show centers lived experience, survivor testimony, and practical reflections on healing while honoring sensory needs, pacing, and the particular ways autistic people process grief and repair.

    Episode 1 - Surviving Stockholm Syndrome

    TW: descriptions of SA, abuse from multiple parties, foul language, trauma dumping This specific episode is about survival in a Stockholm syndrome situation, as the title suggests. What does the trauma look like that gets classified as the cause of someone's clinically diagnosed Stockholm Syndrome? That is the question I help answer by exploring some of my own trauma. This episode is raw, unfiltered, and was very difficult to record. Way more difficult than initially anticipated. Thank you for listening. The next episode on this topic will be sometime from now, and recorded with a trusted safe person.
