Surviving Sexual Abuse: How To Break Through Pain and Hopelessness and Create a Life of Love and Happiness
Statistics state that every 98 seconds someone in the US is sexually assaulted. And every 8 minutes that victim is a child. This is my story of sexual abuse and how I overcame what happened to me when I was a kid. It’s raw, unedited and in many ways still very painful to tell. You’ll probably be able to tell in the audio times when I was having a hard time getting words out. I apologize for the delivery but the message is important. I choose to record it today because Chester Bennington from the band Linkin Park committed suicide yesterday. They are a favorite of mine and I’ve been listening to them for a long time. He had often spoken about being sexually abused as a kid and his story was eerily similar to mine. When I heard he passed it really shook me. It spurred me to record this podcast- one that I’ve wanted to for a very long time but couldn’t bring myself to do until today. My sincerest hope in recording this podcast is that it helps one person. I hope the vast majority of you turn it off in the beginning because it just doesn’t apply to your life. For those of you that it does I hope that by telling you my story it helps in some way. The episode is broken down into:
- My story - what happened, when & where and what I felt and lost as a result
- What didn’t work for me- how I tried to manage it (unsuccessfully)
- What DID work for it- the steps and actions I took to recover
- Adice for you if you’ve had a similar experience or someone close to you has
