Safe Space

Trigger warning: This episode explicitly references sexual violence which may be triggering to some.

In this episode, our guest narrates their experience with being sexually assaulted multiple times when in high school and how these incidences have affected his wellbeing. It is hard to imagine that such incidences can happen in school, a place we assume is a safe space for our children or for ourselves and yet, this is our reality. Having conversations like these help us bring such abusive acts to light and hopefully begin to heal our society.

Trigger warning: This episode references sexual violence (sexual assault) which may be triggering to some.

In this episode, our guest shares their experience with sexual assault and how this has affected different aspects of their life. We don't often see men openly speaking about being sexually assaulted and that can give one the impression that it does not happen. However, the reality is that several men experience sexual violence. I hope this episode will encourage more male survivors to share their stories. I also hope that it will be a reminder that they are not alone.
