Help! I Still Have Childhood Trauma From Bad Teachers

On today’s episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren read a Good Body Grab Bag from a listener who continues to wrestle with some abusive messaging she received from an acting teacher as a young teenager. Our lovely listener is wondering if she should confront this teacher since they are still teaching or if it’s better to leave well enough alone. This sparks a conversation about whether or not we have a moral responsibility to call out abusive behavior as well as how we grapple with the toxic messaging we received during our most formative years. This episode gets kinda deep and does open with a content warning so strap in. We close out the show with a quick word from Dr. Naomi of Betches’ own Oversharing podcast since Emily and Lauren were a little stumped.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to Good Bodies, a “wellness” entertainment podcast where all bodies are good bodies. If you’re still reeling from the toxic diet culture of the early 2000s (justice for Jessica Simpson) and constantly quoting your therapist, then Emily Lubin and Lauren Hope Krass are here to help you laugh (so you don’t cry). Diets can’t sit with us anymore but there’s a place at the table for body neutrality, body positivity, intuitive eating, and hot takes about which non-dairy creamer pairs best with our sharp cheddar cheese omelettes.
