Let's Talk About It: Triggers!

Triggers can happen at any time, small or large, unexpected or expected. And this week we were handed the mother load of triggers. Bill Cosby’s release evoked a mental and physical response of anger and shock and disappointment and so much more.

What do we do when a trigger occurs? Especially when it is unexpected, as triggers often are. In this installment, I discuss the raw truth behind my triggers and ways to cope.

Let’s continue to not stay silent. Let’s continue to support eachother. Let’s continue to take care of ourselves.

Stay well, friends ✨

Let's Talk About It: Reporting!

June 19, 2021 Rachael Brooks

My personal experience with reporting my rape was awful, to put it bluntly. The detectives did not believe me and instead “interrogated” me to try and poke holes in my story.

Reporting a rape can be extremely difficult, discouraging, and defeating. Join me as I discuss reporting statistics, my personal reporting experience, and two @netflix shows that accurately depict what the reporting process can look like ✨

And always remember, you are not alone ❤️
