Episode Description
As someone navigating the world with PTSD, I discovered Margeaux Feldman on IG and following them, I felt a huge rise in my understanding and language around trauma. Margeaux is a writer, educator, and community builder. At the centre of their work is the desire to answer this question: In a world that works to oppress and divide us, how do we care for one another and ourselves? This is the start of a powerful conversation that has provided me with shifts in my own life and how I care for myself, as well as the way in engage with clients. As a nonbinary disabled femme living with complex trauma and chronic illness, Margeaux looks at the forms of intimacy and sexuality created by folks living with trauma and chronic illness. We discuss going beyond inner child work to supporting the inner teenager. How to build self-awareness skills, including boundary work, conflict resolution, and emotional communication in order to advocate for ourselves and others. Margeaux holds a PhD in English Literature and Sexual Diversity Studies, which is why one of my biggest take aways was around the words we use and how adjusting from healing or healthy to supportive allows space for change without judgement.
