Trauma Remembered, Resistance Renewed

Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen ·

2025/09/03

Trauma, identity, and resistance are not separate currents but interwoven threads in the fabric of lived experience. Trauma is not just a private wound; it is social, historical, and political. Identity is not only personal but shaped in relation to power, stigma, and solidarity. Resistance is not simply a reactive act but a reimagining of futures. At their intersection, we find both pain and possibility—the scars of violence alongside the seeds of transformation.Become a supporter of this podcast:
