Episode 10: “peace” and Falling In Love When You’re Traumatized

In this episode, I unpack the lyrics of “peace” by Taylor Swift from the 2020 album, folklore, through the lens of being in a relationship when you’re a trauma survivor.

Relationships take work for everyone, but when you’re a trauma survivor or living with mental illness, it’s easy to question if what you can give to the relationship is going to be enough for the other person to stay. In this episode, I consider the ways Taylor’s lyrics convey the doubt, the desire, and the compromise of dating when you’re on your healing journey.

In addition, I share a bit about my course, Blooming Relationships, which I created to help trauma survivors create safe, empowered, and joyful relationships without needing to “get over” trauma. Click here to learn more about the course and sign up!

I hope you enjoy the episode!
