Citizen Rose season 1 episode 3, titled "Trauma," takes a deep dive into the personal traumas and tribulations that the lead actress, Rose McGowan, has had to overcome throughout her life. The episode touches on topics like sexual abuse, self-harm, and PTSD and explores the different coping mechanisms that Rose has developed over the years to deal with her trauma.

Rose recounts instances of sexual abuse that she experienced at a young age and her struggles with mental health as a result. She opens up about how she took up self-harm as a way to cope with her feelings and how difficult it was for her to find professional help in those early days.

The show also delves into Rose's experiences of being silenced by powerful men in the entertainment industry and how she was blacklisted from Hollywood after speaking out against Harvey Weinstein and those complicit in his misconduct. In a particularly poignant moment, she talks about how her trauma triggered her intense reaction to the Weinstein scandal and how speaking out has helped her to heal in some ways.

Throughout the episode, Rose showcases a willingness to embrace vulnerable and uncomfortable emotions, both in her own life and in the broader cultural context. She voices her concerns about the way society deals with women and their trauma and the lack of resources available for those who have suffered abuse.

In addition to the personal narratives shared by Rose, the episode also features commentary from other women who have dealt with similar traumas, including actress Amber Tamblyn. The show takes on a very raw, unfiltered tone as the women speak candidly about their experiences and the need for greater attention to be paid to support systems for those who have suffered abuse.

Overall, "Trauma" serves as a poignant and powerful reminder of the immense emotional toll that trauma can take on a person and how addressing these issues is important for creating a more empathetic and supportive society. Despite the dark subject matter, the episode manages to end on an uplifting note, with Rose expressing hope for the future and a commitment to continue fighting for the voices of those who have been silenced.
