Episode description

Trigger warning: This episode includes references to neglect and developmental trauma which some listeners may find upsetting.

It's been a while since we recorded together!

In this episode we expand on our discussion about grief. Leo reflects on the loss of Woody, three months on. We then move into exploring other feelings such as disappointment and pride. We speak about the conditional meanings of these feelings in relation to other people.

We contrast this with the idea of unconditional love and acceptance and wonder about how this might feel and the significance of it, particularly in light of being autistic.

Molly has been at the vet's and joins us for the last 10 minutes. 🐕
