In the inaugural episode of her "When Bearing Witness" podcast, host Maria Bryan is interviewed by veteran podcaster Rain about becoming a trauma-informed storyteller. Listeners can expect to learn Maria's origin story of arriving at this work after a student asked a pivotal question about incorporating trauma-informed practices into nonprofit storytelling.
Maria and Rainn define trauma-informed storytelling as the safe gathering and telling of painful stories in a way that transforms yet protects story owners, audiences, and storytellers. They discuss critical topics like consent, boundaries, grounding techniques, and the responsibility held by storygatherers and tellers.
This conversation lays the groundwork for what's to come on the podcast itself. Maria shares why she started the When Bearing Witness Podcast and what listeners can expect from season one of the show.
