The Trauma Dump Podcast

Have you been searching for a way to vent your frustrations without being judged? Oftentimes we are afraid that sharing what we are going through will only burden others. So, we suffer alone, and let our pain eat away at us with no hope it will get better. But there's a better way and you are not alone. Welcome to the Trauma Dump Podcast, a place where anyone can anonymously share their burdens without fear of being ridiculed or judged. This podcast seeks to build community where we all can share our burdens and lift one another up. Here we can share resources, give advice, share our stories, and heal together. https://discord.gg/XnRvuCKgr6If you'd like to help support the podcast, please donate to our patreon!
