Thank you to listener MoonBunny5 for sharing a difficult and
vulnerable question. After experiencing a very negative interaction
with a rigger, she now struggles to even look at rope without
feeling disgusted. She wants to know whether it's possible to
return to rope after an experience like this, and if so, how. While
neither Mya nor Fox are therapists, this episode explores some of
the concepts that may be helpful when approaching recovery from
rope-related trauma. Topics include: • Why trauma can occur in rope
communities more often than many people realise • The role of
nervous system regulation and emotional safety • Understanding the
difference between thoughts and feelings • Using free writing to
process difficult experiences • Exploring alternative contexts and
associations • Reintroducing rope slowly, beginning with rope as a
simple object • The principles behind exposure therapy • Practising
self-compassion throughout recovery • Creating safe environments
for trauma work Important note: We strongly encourage seeking
support from a qualified therapist where available. The ideas
discussed in this episode are intended as general discussion and
are best explored alongside professional support.
