It is a plea to the other person's humanity and trying to connect with them as a human being and say: I'm hurt, I'm traumatized. I'm asking for you to understand that I am wounded and that you are in a position where you could wound me more.
Ever wondered how you might cope with trauma in a foreign land? Hecate, the host of 'Finding OK', bravely shares her harrowing experience of being assaulted and stalked by a monk in India back in 2006. Through her journal entries, Hecate recounts the chilling events and the profound impact they had on her life.
She dives deep into the complexities of race, culture, and gender that intertwined with her trauma, highlighting the crucial role of anti-racism work in the healing process. The episode also sheds light on the unique challenges of experiencing assault while menstruating, and how this influenced her embodiment of trauma. Hecate's narrative is not just about survival but also about the coping mechanisms she employed, such as talking her way out of further violence.
She emphasizes the importance of community support and shares her thoughts on 'manipulation' as a survival tactic. This episode is a poignant reminder that while trauma can leave lasting scars, resilience and healing are within reach.
