What Is PTSD and How Does It Affect Me?

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses trauma and PTSD, with mentions of sexual assault.

We're diving into an area we haven't spoken about on In All Honesty yet... This week, Michelle is diving into her personal journey with complex PTSD (C-PTSD), rooted in her extensive medical trauma from 15 surgeries before the age of 19.

During the episode, Michelle tells her story of identifying her PTSD and offers both insights and advice for dealing with trauma and the varying perceptions of it. She also has her practical advice for support and has a story around the hard-to-predict ways that your trauma can be triggered.

Plus, before the end of the episode, we have a listener message about boundaries!
