In this episode of 'The Process of Healing,' David converses with Ann Russo about the complex journey of trauma and recovery. David and Ann discuss various elements of trauma, including personal experiences, the influence of societal norms on emotional expression, particularly in men, and the critical importance of advocacy and authenticity in healing. Ann shares her own background, growing up in a queer household, engaging in social justice work, and eventually becoming a therapist specialized in marginalized communities. They also touch on religious trauma and how it intersects with queerness, as well as Ann's current work on a book addressing religious trauma. The discussion highlights the importance of setting boundaries, the need for tailored therapeutic approaches, and the value of empathy and advocacy in creating safe and inclusive spaces for healing. They also brainstorm innovative ways to make therapy more accessible and comfortable for clients, including the idea of 'speed dating' therapists and mobile therapy sessions. Esteemed insight is given on the importance of self-care for both therapists and those who are strong allies and supporters for peers going through trauma. #trauma #anger #emotions #healing
