You are not responsible for the abuse  you suffered, the neglect and all of it. - Ann Marie Conklin

Ann Marie Conklin, a courageous survivor of childhood sexual abuse and trauma, opens up for the first time on the podcast to share her transformative journey. After surviving abuse and neglect, Ann Marie has devoted her life to helping others heal, earning two master's degrees in psychology and becoming a licensed psychotherapist. Her personal and professional experiences make her a compassionate advocate for trauma survivors.

Ann Marie's story is deeply moving, marked by the shame and challenges she faced growing up in an orphanage and suffering from the abuse at the hands of her sociopathic brother. Yet, through resilience and healing, she now dedicates her life to supporting others on their path to recovery.

In this heartfelt episode, Ann Marie offers valuable insights into overcoming childhood trauma and building emotional strength. She discusses how survivors can heal from deep-rooted pain, embrace vulnerability, and rise above the scars of their past.
