“The only way to resolve shame is to talk about it.”
— Brené Brown
When I first started my healing journey, I was paralyzed by shame. While part of me desperately wanted support, there was a bigger part of me that wasn’t ready to say the words out loud. I was terrified of being judged, and part of me was convinced that I might be making the whole thing up. During those painful days, I took comfort in the words of other survivors who were brave enough to share their stories publicly. This blog is a collection of reflections from my own healing journey. It is my hope that they might provide solace to anyone who has experienced sexual trauma. I see you.
