In the Open

America and Theresa kick off a new series and this episode covers having a traumatic childhood. There is a discussion around trauma and how they are unpacking it 30 years later. They talk about how they’ve both dealt with trauma differently, neglect as a form trauma and they ask whether or not they would ever change anything about their past to avoid their traumatic childhood.
