<![CDATA[Chat-TBD]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/chat-tbd I'm Stefany Brothers, an Emmy-winning journalist with 13+ years in the business, including six at CNN. As a booker, I did the pre-interviews: the conversations that happen before a guest ever goes on air. They were often the best part, and nobody got to hear them.

Chat-TBD is my version of that. One guest, one topic, under 30 minutes. Who I'm talking to and what we're talking about changes every episode, and I'm figuring the rest out as I go.

For sex assault survivors, that can be a lot to take in.

In the first episode of Chat-TBD, Emmy-winning journalist Stefany Brothers sits down with trauma therapist Shari Botwin, LCSW, author of Thriving After Trauma, to talk about how to cope.

In this episode: • Why this story is all Shari’s clients are talking about • How to tell when you’re triggered, and what to do about it • Why some survivors feel compelled to share now, and why it’s okay if you don’t • What to say when a friend tells you their story • How to set a boundary when you can’t be the one to listen • How to turn the horror of this story into something hopeful

Content note: this episode discusses sexual assault.
