Welcome to Episode 6 of Give Me Lemons 🍋
In this episode, we’re joined by Daryna Skybina, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario, Canada, living with a rare, chronic soft tissue Sarcoma.
We dive into:
- Trauma recovery and the importance of safety
- Understanding how your bias can negatively impact someone’s healing journey
- The privilege of time
This episode is about compassion, and understanding how trauma affects everyone differently and every trauma response is valid. Knowing that there is no one right way to heal, and that your feelings are valid. Your experiences are valid. You know yourself best.
