This Week, Jenny explores an article by The Critic. Within this, they make a very out of touch (despite their claim to be more in touch with the younger generations) in which they deride the decision by Biles to withdraw from a number of events due to 'The Twisties'. Jenny, as a trauma therapist with 20 years of experience, explores why Simone Biles had a legitimate fear and why she was right to withdraw for her own sake, and how this can impact our own day to day lives, and why no 'traumatic experience' is invalid.
