Grief as Self Care for Survivors2/16/2017 I was struck by this recommendation while reading Survivor Theatre Project’s email newsletter this morning. I’ve often assumed that in order to fully process trauma, a person has to have some kind of emotional breakdown, and then build themself back up (like in the movies).

Respect Sex Workers2/3/2017 What might respecting sex workers look like? I'll give some examples!1. If you date someone who does sex work, you respect and value their body and autonomy as much as you would anyone else.
