Welcome back Warriors!
It's day 4 of Mental Health awareness week. Every day I'm bringing you some incredible guests to share their experience their strength and their hope.
*THIS EPISODE CONTAINS POTENTIAL TRIGGERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE OR ARE EXPERIENCING SEXUAL ABUSE. Please exercise diligence before listening*A list of resources you can access are below the show notes.
Today I welcome Inner Warrior veteran Brian Cardoza to the show. Brian is a sex abuse survivor with a harrowing story starting when he was just 6 years old.
Today we are talking about how to manage a relationship where one of the people is a sex abuse survivor.
Brian shares his knowledge and I share my experience of being in a relationship with a survivor some years ago.
It is an uncomfortable subject for some and not one that I hear a lot of discussions about. As ever we get real, honest and very open during our conversation and we both hope that you get some insight on how a relationship with a sex abuse survivor isn't a taboo subject, and its something that can actually be managed incredibly healthily. We hope to offer suggestions and guidance to any of you who are in a similar situation.
