Maybe you've thought about it a million times--the exact words you would say to the person who abused you. Maybe you've written them out, word for word, or rehearsed them in front of a mirror. While the opportunity to actually confront your abuser *can* be an empowering part of the healing process, it can also be new source of trauma, or even just a big fat emotional let-down. On today's episode of the podcast, we talk about the decision to confront our abusers and how to manage our expectations so that the experience is empowering rather than crushing.
