Amber Amour: Building Consent Culture and Healing from Trauma

We don't heal in isolation. Almost every single time we hang out, we talk about our trauma and our healing, and it's been like that for Three Years, you know, and that relationship with her has profoundly helped me, because I'm able to express things that you know I'm trying to figure out.
Amber Amour’s story is one of resilience and activism. In this episode of the 'Trauma Informed Podcast', host Jeff Friedman sits down with Amber, a sexual abuse survivor, to discuss her journey and her mission to create a consent culture. Amber opens up about her harrowing experience of reporting her abuse and the frustratingly inadequate response from law enforcement.
Instead of letting this deter her, she channeled her energy into activism, launching a campaign to educate people on the importance of consent. Amber’s work is not just about spreading awareness; it's about reshaping societal norms and breaking down the patriarchy that often perpetuates trauma. She talks passionately about the role of community in healing and how a supportive friend played a crucial part in her recovery.
Jeff and Amber delve into various healing techniques, such as movement therapy, mindfulness, and creative outlets like music, highlighting how these practices can aid in trauma recovery. They also discuss valuable resources for survivors, including RAINN, and stress the importance of finding personalized support. This episode is a beacon of hope and empowerment for anyone affected by trauma, offering practical advice and inspiration to help navigate the path to healing.
