God brought you and me here today for me to release this forgiveness onto you so that we both can heal from this event. ~ Dharasena
 
Dharasena’s story is one of unimaginable strength, resilience, and the search for justice. After surviving sexual assault and the devastating loss of her brother to murder, she faced disbelief and retaliation when reporting her assault. Despite the trauma, she tirelessly pursued justice for her brother’s murder, only to find herself struggling with PTSD and addiction. 

It wasn’t until a moment of divine intervention that Dharasena began her healing journey. In this episode, she shares how forgiveness became the key to moving past anger and fear, allowing her to heal and embrace life once again.
