ROUNDTABLE: How trauma shows up in parenthood – and what helps

What happens when parenthood triggers your deepest wounds? In this vulnerable and vital roundtable conversation, host Davina Smith unpacks the complex journey of becoming a parent as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. With guests Tara Hunter from FullStop Australia, alongside Gidget Psychologist Dr Martina Zangger, they explore the invisible triggers of parenthood, breaking generational cycles, and moving from fear to empowerment.

If you’ve been impacted by sexual, domestic or family violence, contact FullStop on their website here, or call 1800 FULL STOP.
