AEE: How to Share What You've Been Through in English

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Lindsay and Michelle discuss how to share personal traumas in English in a way that fosters connection rather than eliciting pity. They share listener feedback and a question from Masami about discussing traumas to connect with others without seeking pity. They provide five strategies: using an appropriate tone of voice, not dwelling on the trauma, using contextualizing expressions, keeping the floor open for others to comment, and using reassuring phrases. They emphasize that sharing trauma is a personal choice influenced by the relationship, timing, and cultural context, and they role-play a conversation demonstrating these techniques.
