Lesson Overview

33.7 – Testifying About Your Life Without Trauma Dumping: Sharing your story is powerful, but doing it safely protects both you and your audience. When you speak about personal experiences, balance honesty with boundaries. You decide what parts of your story to share and what stays private. Too much detail can overwhelm listeners or reopen wounds you’re still healing from. Focus on what you learned, not just what you endured, so others can take inspiration instead of pain. Practice your speech aloud and pay attention to emotional triggers. Advocacy is not therapy; it’s storytelling for impact. Respect your own limits and let others support you afterward. When you speak with intention, you teach others how resilience looks in real life. Turning vulnerability into education helps communities grow stronger without retraumatizing the people who lead the change. That’s what real courage looks like — power with care, not pain on display.
