#74 Maeve Moon: Healing from trauma and life as a former escort

*Includes trigger warning*

Maeve Moon, a former escort and sugar-baby speaks about what it's really like in that world, how she has healed from the trauma attached to it and how she now helps others do the same. 

Trigger warning and a note from Maeve: We’re going to be talking about Trauma in this podcast, in-particular ‘sexual trauma’ I just want any trauma survivors to make sure that you’re in a really safe environment whilst you’re listening to this and you have some kind of self regulating soothing objects on hand such as a warm drink or a blanket. A gentle reminder that any triggering topic will begin to affect you at 12 words in. The sympathetic branch of the nervous system will engage and you may move into
the fight or flight response. Turn around time back into safe and social mode can be up to 45 minutes, or even longer.
