In the first episode of Season 3 of "Conversations We've Never Had," hosts Candice Harris and Gemma Halliwell reunite in Barcelona after speaking at a conference to explore what it truly means to move forward alongside trauma. Both survivors of child sexual abuse and passionate advocates for healing, Candice and Gemma share personal reflections on how trauma shapes their daily lives, relationships, and work. They discuss the complexities of living with trauma - not as something to be boxed away, but as a part of themselves that moves with them through time. They reflect on the challenges of confronting pain, the importance of acknowledging all parts of oneself, and the power of gentle movement, humour, and friendship in the healing process. Whether you are a survivor, a loved one, or a practitioner working in the field, this episode offers compassion, insight, and a sense of togetherness. Join Candice and Gemma as they walk, talk, and laugh their way through the realities of healing, reminding us all that we are not alone on this journey.
