How do you cope with an ongoing trauma? What is your typical response to a perceived threat? In this episode, Josh discusses the never-ending trauma of his father's cancer battle, while Aya shares what she learned working as a volunteer on the crisis line at the women's shelter and sexual assault centre, with topics ranging from PTSD, the "Window of Tolerance" (hyperarousal vs. hypoarousal), and Pete Walker's "4 Fs" (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn), to vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and trauma impostor syndrome. [CW // death, abuse]
