Host Miranda Pacchiana, MSW talks about the aftermath of trauma from several perspectives–as a sexual abuse survivor, personal coach, and resident of Sandy Hook, Connecticut, site of the 2012 school shooting. The podcast will offer information, compassion, and hope to trauma survivors, emphasizing the ways we grow when we face our truth, take care of ourselves, and become stronger, better people in the process.
Miranda describes The Second Wound, a website and social media platform she created to support sexual violence survivors and others who experience painful backlash, including victim-blaming, rejection, and minimization of their trauma. Finally, she also shares personal anecdotes about the hardest year in her healing process, and a touching celebration of her “chosen family”.
