The Gay Podcast for Everyone

25. Dr. Jen Towns, author of Our Deepest Roots: Navigating Past Trauma to Build Healthier Queer Relationships

Angela Briones Season 2 Episode 25

In her book, Our Deepest Roots: Navigating Past Trauma to Build Healthier Queer Relationships, Dr. Jen Towns (aka Your Queer Therapist) discusses the intersection of trauma and relationships in the queer community. 

In this episode (season 2 finale), we chat about:

  • how our experiences shape our sense of safety and affect how we handle situations (like holding our partners' hands in public).  
  • how our past experiences directly affect our interpersonal relationships
  • how to acknowledge our trauma(s) and better communicate it to our partners


Jen is an awesome example for our community and provides an amazing resource with her book.  Get a copy of Our Deepest Rootson Amazon.
