Vulnerable City KettyJoe

How has trauma shaped your identity? For Kat Rivas, the journey to understanding who she is started with healing a childhood trauma that followed her for over 20 years. Kat's vulnerability, self awareness and therapeutic support helped her release a lot of shame and pain associated with sexual assault. Today, Kat hopes that her story will help listeners feel less alone and supported in uncovering all that they are, despite the trauma that happened to them

Asking for support is difficult. Trusting others with your pain is hard. Staying in your depression and feeling the walls close in, is the hardest. The beautiful relief of support helps you manage the difficult spells and reminds you that the thoughts that say you aren't worthy, ARE LYING!! You are worthy of love, support and life. Hopefully this episode reminds you of this. For some support, check out this links:
