Episode Transcript Description of potentially triggering content (contains spoilers): Timestamp of case file: 12:58-28:45. Context: Client has lingering pain in hips, Kalila works with them to understand it is from the anger and fear of stigma after having an abortion years ago. Trigger warnings: discussion of abortion & related societal shaming, medical abuse/gaslighting, mention of past abusive relationships, a brief mention of transphobia (client is nonbinary), and allusions of being pressured into sex without protection. Discussion of abortion includes conversations about societal shame about having the procedure and abusive "emergency pregnancy" centers. The client does NOT have personal shame about having the abortion, only shame about their perceived mistakes leading up to it.
