25. Dr. Jen Towns, author of Our Deepest Roots: Navigating Past Trauma to Build Healthier Queer Relationships

In her book, Our Deepest Roots: Navigating Past Trauma to Build Healthier Queer Relationships, Dr. Jen Towns (aka Your Queer Therapist) discusses the intersection of trauma and relationships in the queer community. 

In this episode (season 2 finale), we chat about:

• how our experiences shape our sense of safety and affect how we handle situations (like holding our partners' hands in public).  
• how our past experiences directly affect our interpersonal relationships
• how to acknowledge our trauma(s) and better communicate it to our partners

Jen is an awesome example for our community and provides an amazing resource with her book.  Get a copy of Our Deepest Rootson Amazon.
