In this “Reflections” episode,Teri and Michael reflect back on Episodes on systemic responses to trauma in domestic violence – Episode 38: Dr. Tanja Jovanovic on how witnessing abuse is just as bad for children as being abused, Episode 39: Trauma therapist Julia Hochstadt on working with survivors of abuse and violence, and Episode 40: Kathleen Kendall-Tackett on domestic violence, trauma, breastfeeding, mothering and their intersection. 

Teri and Michael co-host the en(gender)ed reflections episodes which serve to help curate a series of past episodes, usually around a specific theme.  We hope these episodes help listeners coming in at that point of the podcast identify particular episodes and themes that they may want to explore. During our reflection, we talked about these additional resources:

• Rockland County, NY measles outbreak
• “How Orthodox Jewish Nurses Are Fighting ‘Anti-Vaccination Propaganda’ Targeting Their Community” in Gothamist
• “Most Dangerous Time for Battered Women?  When They Leave” in the Clarion Ledger
• The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode on coercive control
• The origins of the Adverse Childhood Experiences study and the connection between child sexual abuse and obesity
• The benefits of breastfeeding
