Disclosing sexual abuse is a complex process with several barriers that can discourage survivors from telling someone about the trauma they’ve endured. Receiving a compassionate response to disclosure is critical for a survivor's healing journey.
In this episode, you will learn about those barriers, the process of disclosing, and how to appropriately and compassionately respond to a survivor disclosing to you.

Healing requires energy, vulnerability, and hard work. It’s a lifelong journey and it's never linear. Whatever season you're in on your healing journey, hold on to hope. <3
I hope you have a lovely rest of your day!
Love,
