    Episode 42: Healing Through Creative Outlets
    2025/09/10

    In this episode of Almost Oblivious, host Autumn Baker explores how creative outlets can become powerful tools for healing after trauma and abuse. From art and journaling to faith, movement, volunteering, and trying new experiences, Autumn shares both research and personal stories of how creativity can help survivors rediscover their voice, purpose, and joy.

    You’ll hear about:

    • Art as therapy: how expression through color, shape, or collage can give emotions a safe outlet.

    • Journaling: prompts and practices to untangle thoughts and track healing progress.

    • Faith and spirituality: grounding practices that offer hope and connection.

    • New experiences: how classes like singing, cooking, or photography can unlock joy.

    • Exercise and movement: the research-backed benefits of biking, yoga, and other forms of physical activity for trauma recovery.

    • Volunteering and purpose: how giving back, speaking out, and creating Almost Oblivious became transformative parts of Autumn’s own healing journey.

    This episode encourages survivors to explore creative paths that fit their lives, reminding each listener that healing is not about perfection — it’s about rediscovery.

  • Episode 40: Myths VS Reality

    Episode 40: Myths VS Reality
    2025/08/26

    Abuse is surrounded by harmful myths — ideas like “if it was really that bad, they would just leave” or “abuse only happens in certain kinds of relationships.” These misconceptions silence survivors, excuse abusers, and keep too many people stuck in unsafe situations.

    In this episode of Almost Oblivious, Autumn unpacks some of the most common myths about abuse and replaces them with the reality survivors live every day. From the dangers of leaving, to abuse beyond the physical, to the stigma male victims face, this conversation is all about truth, awareness, and breaking down barriers.

    If you’ve ever heard these myths — or maybe even believed them yourself — this episode will help you see the bigger picture.
