About this episode

The episode features an interview with Cameron McKay discussing his experiences with trauma and coercive control.

Hello and welcome back - Today's episode is part two of my interview with Cameron McKay. Cam is a fellow trauma survivor and creator of Shit Creek Survivors podcast. You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify. Last time, we spoke about Cam's experience being shot on duty when he was working as a police officer, and how being shot led to him unraveling things that had long been buried. This episode covers more of the beginning of Cam's life, and his first experiences with trauma and coercive control. We cover how this initial trauma lived with him, and affected him throughout life until he finallly looked it in the eye and processed it. Please take care while listening, as there are references to childhood sexual abuse in this episode. I hope this episode helps those of you who have endured similar circumstances.
