Dedeker Winston on Breaking Free: A Journey of Healing from Intimate Partner Violence Through Non-Monogamy

Dedeker Winston was last on the podcast to discuss her somatic practitioner training and how somatic experience can help you on your recovery journey. Today, she shares her story of surviving domestic violence in one of her romantic partnerships. Dedeker talks about what it was like leaving an abusive relationship, the challenges and rewards of practicing non-monogamy, and the importance of community support in healing from trauma. We discuss the harmful stereotypes surrounding victims and perpetrators of abuse and the need for a more nuanced understanding of these dynamics. Dedeker also shares her perspective on the power of embodied experiences of safety and security in healing from trauma. Join us for this powerful conversation on healing, community, and the importance of breaking out of societal norms to find new ways of relating and connecting with others.
