Healing After Harm with Heena Patel

Welcome to Healing after Harm with Heena Patel! 

Healing after Harm is a podcast for nuanced conversations about pathways forward for individuals and communities after experiencing abuse in learning or healing environments. Topics include accountability, justice, repair, choosing to speak out or not, platforming the accused, resources for survivors, and more. Forms of abuse include sexual, physical, mental, emotional, financial, and more.

Guests include people who support survivors and repair initiatives, folks who have experienced abuse directly or within the community they were a part of, and more.

Host Heena Patel experienced long-term abuse with her former teacher, whom she was groomed by to become his secret mistress for 13 years. She is a somatic practitioner and coach who supports people in returning to greater health and love in their relationships - with themselves, others, and the world.
