In today’s episode, I answer a question from the community about the impact of sexual abuse as it relates to the relationship with the abuser. I share my thoughts on the harmful message that the listener’s wounding shouldn't be as significant as some other people’s. As a survivor, remember that the long-term impact of sexual trauma is often very similar regardless of who the perpetrator is. 

As is the case with most things related to impact and healing from childhood trauma, this issue is complex. I’ve recorded a second part to dive a bit deeper into how the relationship with your abuser can create additional layers to healing. 

This episode provides valuable insights into the long-term impact of childhood sexual trauma and offers hope for survivors on their healing journey.
