In this episode, we discuss the way in which sharing our stories of sexual assault can help us to acknowledge our trauamas. Is there a difference between sexual assault and sexual trauma? Why do we blame ourselves for sexual violence that doesn't feel "bad enough"? Grab a cup of tea or some Halloween candy and join our conversation!

[Content Warning]: This is a podcast where survivors share stories of sexual assault, sexual violence, and r*pe.
