In this episode, DJ talks with Andre Bisquera who shares his experience as an incest abuse survivor and the challenges he has faced, as well as the support he provides to those in need. Andre who is working within the legal system to enact change for survivors regarding statute of limitations. Many survivors find that the legal system is unfair and unjust when a survivor decides to pursue legal charges. Andre's story is full of compassion and hope for a new day for survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault. 

 

Hosted by D.J. Burr - a Seattle psychotherapist and author of I Just Wanted Love: Recovery of a Codependent, Sex and Love Addict. 

Each episode of Journey On features real life accounts of sexual abuse and assault. You may be triggered by what you hear. I advise self-care tools; reaching out to a friend, seeing your therapist, picking a new time to listen to the show, or even listening with a group of friends. Take care of yourself first.
