Johanna and Erica are joined by Malika Williams who shares her story of a harrowing ride with a tow-truck driver and takes listeners through the BREATHE method, a helpful framework for processing trauma.
[Content Warning]: This is a podcast where survivors share stories of sexual assault, sexual violence, and r*pe.
According to Malika, she created the BREATHE method to be a “series of steps for processing microaggressions, ‘Me Too’ moments, and misunderstandings--when something happens to you that’s out of your control and you need to figure out how to deal with it. Instead of suppressing whatever emotions come up or minimizing or feeling like you need to be everyone’s teacher, you can really take care of yourself first.” Download the BREATHE method PDF at cwvbreathe.com
Malika Williams is the Founder of The Center for Women’s Voice. She is a coach, writer, and actor. You can find her @centerforwomensvoice on IG and FB and centerforwomensvoice.com
