S3/E10: Jessica Anne Pressler – Safe to Be Me
<p>Jessica Anne Pressler is a social worker, author, and all around lovely human. Her upcoming novel, The Traitor Within, creatively shares her story of toxic relationships, physical and emotional abuse, erotic misadventure, and a host of traumas – all in the company of her personified inner saboteur. We talk about trauma, attachment, and how we come about our adaptive behaviors honestly. I was moved by her compassionate embracing of this endogenous force as they eventually become one and The Traitor is invited to rest. Brilliant. We chat about complex people, loving partners, even more loving dogs, beaches, and mountains.
