In this episode, Stacie begins with a breathing/mindfulness exercise which is a tool she will bring to solo episodes. A way to bring us to this present moment and to check in with yourself. As always, look after yourself listening to this podcast - put your own needs first. Stacie covers an outline of what her healing journey has looked like when it began in 2011. She also describes future episode topics and guests that will be coming to share their experience and healing journey. The last part of the episode Stacie reads out a section of her book ‘Life after sexual abuse’ - my healing journey: the unknown quest. Remember, you are the expert in your own experience. As always, take care listening and always put what you need first so it’s okay if you need to come back to this or any episode. This podcast was created to be a supportive and safe companion for the healing journey - look after yourself. If you need someone specialist to talk to, there are several national charities nationally and internationally (search the internet local to where you live). In the UK, you can call either the Samaritans or Napac. Leave a question or topic suggestion either directly through Anchor/Spotify or via the website. You can find Stacie on Instagram @_StacieGlass_
