17: A Mini Check-In for Survivors in the Pandemic- Your Feelings Are All Valid

*Not a normal episode.* This is an uncertain time for everyone, but for survivors of sexual violence in the middle of their cases or in the middle of their healing, the world coming to a halt and being self-isolated can bring up all kinds of feelings. It can exacerbate depression, anxiety, etc, it may bring on unexpected feelings, the pause may bring back troubling thoughts or memories without the constant distraction of every day society, or being able to take a breather from the machine of life may feel like a helpful time to rest and heal. This episode speaks to all of these feelings and that they’re all okay, valid, and normal. No sense in feeling shame over things/feelings we can’t control. Let’s be here for each other during this unprecedented time. Stay healthy, stay connected to yourself and others, and be well.
