Show Notes

The Cornell 7 case has been difficult to avoid. It’s in the news, on social media, in group chats—and for some people, the details are staying with them long after they put their phones down.

In this episode, I’m shifting the conversation to vicarious trauma and what repeated exposure to disturbing stories can do to our emotional well-being and sense of safety.

How do we stay informed without becoming consumed? And when is it okay to simply say, “I’ve heard enough”?

You can care deeply without carrying someone else’s trauma in your own body.
