Brinn Langdale was 18 years old, when she was asked a question that changed her life forever. Someone asked if her older brother had ever "done anything to her." The answer was yes. For 12 years she had been molested by him. 

Growing up she had no clue what was happening and because of all the ways that the trauma was presenting itself, she just thought she was crazy. She describes herself as a poster child for trauma disgusted as a middle class, suburban athletic kid, so everyone just thought she was 'being a teenager'. 

But at 18, when she admitted to herself, and her family, what had been going on, her life suddenly made sense. The news exploded her family and all of their lives were turned upside down. Shortly after that she left for college where she became a super high achiever, while being addicted to weed and getting black out drunk and living on a constant emotional rollercoaster. 

At 22, she dove deep into her healing journey and spent her entire 20s healing using various holistic approaches, in addition to traditional therapy. she forgave her abuser by her 30th birthday and became a licensed therapist at 31. 

This is an incredible story, and we commend Brinn's bravery for coming on the show, and inspiring others
