Episode 113: Truth and Transformations: TNT Guided 12-Step Program of Healing and Recovery

Societal trauma is imposed by us when we only support victims of commercial sexual violence that fit neatly into an accepted narrative. Trauma happens by society when we get the "what" human trafficking is wrong, "who" the victims often are wrong, and "how" to best address the issue wrong. To support survivors of commercial sexual violence as well as the issue itself, we need to dismantle systems of oppression that work to see some victims as worthy and other victims as unworthy.

Episode 112: Recurring Societal Trauma from False Narratives

In a recent conversation with a survivor, she said that she had repeatedly gotten involved in unhealthy relationships. This was not only her experience but the experience of some other survivors as well. She jokingly asked if she had a mark on her forehead that attracted abusers and victimizers. In reality, trauma increases vulnerability. Vulnerability attracts predators. I explain.
