Fellow automobile-pedestrian accident survivor, actor Kathryn Prescott, shares the story of her own recovery from being hit by a truck. Together, we chat about our common similarities in PTSD and CPTSD, invisible disability, years of surgeries, the complexity of a patient-caregiver relationship, and life after long-term rehabilitation.

Kathryn (Kat) Prescott, a UK actress known for the titular role of Carter in Finding Carter and - a guilty pleasure of mine - Emily in Skins (UK.) (and she’s from generation 2 - my personal favorite generation!!).

In this episode, we deep dive into Kat’s traumatic accident, (spoiler alert: a cement truck ran over her legs, resulting in 13 surgeries for her legs, pelvis, and vascular system), family dynamics, the bitch that is long-term health recovery, dnd how humans, both friends and acquaintances, react to another’s trauma.

This episode is supersonically powerful. Everyone absolutely needs to listen to this to better understand health trauma, perhaps receive comfort and validation, and to learn how to be there for a trauma survivor.

Victims of automobile violence, this one’s for you…and binge Skins UK.
