How to Navigate Trauma in Relationships with Jimanekia Eborn

Trigger Warning: in this episode we discuss sexual trauma. The episode does not contain graphic detail but does include the story of Jimanekia's assault and discussion of sexual trauma in various forms. Take care of yourself!

In this episode, I chat with Jimanekia about healing from trauma and the role of community in recovery. We discuss steps for survivors re-entering the dating world, essential self-care practices, and key advice for partners supporting a survivor. A thoughtful conversation on intimacy, connection, and healing.

What are the steps someone should take when they want to start dating again after experiencing trauma?

What self-care practices are recommended for survivors?

What are the most important things to keep in mind when being the partner of a survivor?
