About this listen
Writing trauma realistically doesn’t mean being graphic.
In this episode, we explore how trauma actually works, how it shows up in behavior and memory, and how writers and worldbuilders can portray it with care — without voyeurism or exploitation.
This gentle, trauma-informed conversation focuses on:
The difference between the traumatic event and its aftermath
Common mistakes in trauma writing
Writing survivor agency and adaptation
How trauma shapes cultures, not just individuals
A thoughtful episode for storytellers who want their work to feel real, respectful, and human.
