This week, Kat (@kat.defatta), has licensed therapist turned mental health coach, Caitlin Olsen (@therapywithcaitlin) on the show to talk about Betrayal Trauma. Learning about Betrayal Trauma has helped Caitlin's clients (and herself) make sense of the confusion and disempowerment that so many of us have experienced throughout much of our lives. For women, BIPOC, queer, and other marginalized communities, using the Betrayal Trauma lens can offer soothing validation and motivate some necessary righteous indignation.  Caitlin specializes in Betrayal Trauma and Progressive Mormon womanhood. She's currently in her own path in learning to let her freak flag fly and loves helping other women create and wave their own.  Learn more about Caitlin: Courses + Blog Here's the Cut article about badass Jennifer Freyd Caitlin mentioned in the episode.   Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
