Guest: Patricia Eagle, author of “Being Mean: A Memoir of Sexual Abuse and Survival” -- a book about blocking sexual abuse memories, having them surface, then learning how

to acknowledge and live with incomprehensible experiences in the healthiest ways possible. On this podcast, Mary and Nicole talk with Patricia about her story, writing her memoir, and topics like dissociation, repression, remembering, coping, numbing, addiction, caring for elderly sick parents who were abusers, and her pursuit of clarity, compassion, trust and hope after decades of struggling to understand and live with her past.
