Intersectionality and Trauma: Managing Trauma Responses in a Shifting Society

In this episode of the FOF Podcast, Dr. SaDohl and Claire dive deep into the nuanced intersection of trauma and identity in today’s chaotic world. What happens when your personal history of trauma gets reactivated by current events? How do our identities—race, gender, socioeconomic status, family systems, and more—shape the way we experience triggers, anxiety, and instability?

With honesty and vulnerability, Dr. SaDohl and Claire explore how past wounds can be stirred up by today's political climate, social stressors, and the overall feeling of uncertainty that many of us are navigating. They share personal reflections, grounding techniques, and practical tools for staying emotionally regulated and centered—without losing sight of what matters most.

This episode is a gentle reminder that your reactions are valid, your nervous system might just be doing its job, and you’re not alone. Join us in this safe space to explore how to live freak out free—even when the world feels like it's falling apart.
