GET IN, SHORMS, TODAY WE ARE FACING OUR TRAUMA.
How traumatized were each of the Animorphs before the war? How about after? What methods exist for reducing the impact of traumatic events? Why does the Animorph fandom seem to be so full of people who had shitty childhoods? Join us as we analyze each character's (modified) ACE scores before and after the war and learn about the healing power of shorms.
Safety warnings:
- This episode talks about some heavy shit. If you are not in a mental place where you can be doing that right now, please don't.
- We are not professionals; we are just people who have learned a thing or two while trying to get our own shit together. If you feel you need a professional, please seek one out.
