S1 E9 Baby Reindeer - Netflix

Key points of this episode:

• How so many people have likely been affected by the series on Netflix.
• How we seek "rewrites of a narrative", and why the victim of sexual violence needs to reexperience the situation, but with them being in control....
• ....and/or the need for the body and brain to feel safe again.
• How survival is so accuractly portrayed in the drama, albeit very triggering.
• How the main actor in the drama became confused sexually, which is understandable in the circumstances....
• ...how the brain procecces sexual violence and the confusing way it plays out for survivors.
• Showing the real and shattering pain of sexual violence.
• How we need to focus more on the offending behaviour than the victim (although this is very important)
