Domestic Violence & PTSD with Stevie Croisant In the Wake
-
- Self-Improvement
*TRIGGER WARNING*
This is a heavier episode as we speak of abuse, sexual assault, and trauma. If you are a survivor of abuse or sexual assault, please listen with caution or skip this episode entirely. The last thing I would want is for hearing these things to set you back in your healing journey or trigger negative thoughts or emotions. Please practice self care, reach out to a trusted love one, and/or CALL the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1.800.799.SAFE(7233).

Stevie is the founder of We Are HER. After leaving her abuser in 2016, she realized sharing her story, connecting with other survivors, and learning about DV were three crucial elements in her healing journey. She wanted to make sure every survivor could be given those three opportunities. When she’s not running HER, you’ll find her in the mountains of Montana hanging out with her partner and two border collies or reconnecting with her Mexican roots.
In this episode, Stevie shares her story of developing PTSD after both an abusive childhood and later being in an abusive relationship. She also dives into what it was like navigating the reporting process, court trial, and her thoughts on the justice system as a whole as a survivor. She wraps up by talking about her healing journey and building the We Are HER community for survivors to connect with each other.
We discuss the following points:
Stevie's story of abuseHealthy dynamics within her new relationshipNavigating the reporting process & justice system as a survivorExperiences leading up to a PTSD diagnosisCoping mechanism for PTSDStigmas & misunderstandings around PTSD & survivorsTune in to hear the rest of her story and insights!!
