Unfortunately, it feels like every day there is a new incident of domestic abuse that happens to unfold all over our social media timelines, and with it, the potential to encounter violent footage or hear various arguments in support of the abuser. For survivors of domestic violence, it can be difficult to avoid and then cope with being exposed to such triggering content. Joining me today to discuss domestic violence and retraumatization is registered social worker, therapist, content creator, and speaker, Simone Saunders. Simone is the founder and director of The Cognitive Corner, a culturally responsive and trauma-informed group practice. 

During our conversation we discussed what retraumatization means and how it manifests itself both mentally and physically, how to practice social media self-care when a triggering incident hits your timeline, and changing the way we discuss domestic violence to be more considerate of survivors.
