The edge of the bed Podcast

How do we talk about the cycle of abuse without excusing the harm someone caused? In my first episode back, I reflect on what my abuser told me about his childhood and the questions it left me with. I also share an update on life since the podcast stopped, my experience with health anxiety, and why I’m returning to therapy.

In Today's podcast, we heard Arjunas's story of child sexual abuse. Arjuna was sexually abused by a friend of his mother then r***d at a later age by an older friend.  

 We discussed Arjunas's struggle with accepting his sexuality after abuse and the methods he has used to heal from his trauma such as yoga and meditation.  You can keep up to date with future episodes on my Instagram @theedgeofthebed
