Audience questions for Ask Kati Anything ep. 268
1. I'd like to hear what you have to say about living without hope. My therapist and I have been... 00:01:18
2. Hey Kati, I’m a 25F with ASD. I have been abused by over 50 people (after reaching 50 I stopped counting) in almost every way imaginable, even by people who were supposed to love and/or protect me, even by therapists and teachers, from when I was 4 years old until recently.

6. How can you cope with re traumatisation when you can't get out of the situation? 00:33:49
7. Is it possible for untreated mental illness to be traumatizing? I think I had a period of depression for a few months when I was 12-13ish, but I never told anyone and would always say I was fine when asked. I was functional enough to shower, eat, do school... 00:33:49
