John shares,"At 11 years old I was molested by a visiting priest." S1Bonus1

Listener discretion is advised.  

On this week's episode, I talk with John, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and person in long-term addiction recovery. John was abused from an early age by his father and his priest. Because of the abuse, John grew distant from the church and found other people, places, and things to fill the void left in him by his abusers. Hear John's brave story of recovery and renewed love for himself and others. 

Hosted by D.J. Burr - a Seattle psychotherapist and author of I Just Wanted Love: Recovery of a Codependent, Sex and Love Addict. 

Each episode of Journey On features real life accounts of sexual abuse and assault. You may be triggered by what you hear. I advise self-care tools; reaching out to a friend, seeing your therapist, picking a new time to listen to the show, or even listening with a group of friends. Take care of yourself first.
