Ep. 3: A Place of Comfort

By: Florence Williams

What if a lot of what we’ve heard about wilderness therapy is wrong? That it shouldn’t be about finding oneself through hardship and challenge, but about finding a place of comfort instead? Florence goes backpacking in Colorado with an all-women’s group of sex-trafficking survivors through She Is Able, a nonprofit based in Atlanta, Georgia. The women and their guides, along with therapists who specialize in trauma and wilderness therapy, upend everything she thought she knew.©2018 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2018 Audible Originals, LLC

Powerful

Hearing these brave women share their pain and their self-discoveries is incredibly moving and validating. Thank you!

honest review

It's great for people suffering or had suffer.
it's best for girls suffering abuse or military. it's just felt like for me being a male and atheist that it had nothing to do for me. I did get some advice because I recently got out of a abusive relationship with a girl but this is a feminist thing so it seemed to not be a book to help a guy like me so I stopped at episode 3

Didn’t realize this was for women only…

I stumbled upon this podcast, and was enjoying it, as I’ve been in recovery (ODAAT) for almost 20 years now. For all the years I used, I never abused my girlfriends, my wife, or any woman, as I just was raised right. I don’t want the reason I stopped listening to this to sound like I’m being sensitive, but the author of this episode should be ashamed of herself, as her comment, “men, who needs them,” is just contributing to all the bs going on in the world today. To paint with such a broad brush just because YOU ended up spending 20+ years with a bad seed isn’t fair towards all the other good men out there today. I’ve been divorced for 7 years and although I’m not desperate to find my “other half,” hearing comments like this from a sour grape just reminds me to do my due diligence before getting into a serious relationship with any woman. That’s so unfair towards all the good women out there, but as long as most women continue to be this way, they’re unfortunately going to miss out on having an AMAZING man in their lives. #nothingchangesifnothingchanges
