Trigger Warning - CSA

In this episode, survivor Ryan details the ongoing child sexual abuse he endured at the hands of his step father.

We discuss at length the abuse he endured, the emotional and physical tolls this abuse had on him, and his perpetrators behaviours. This episode goes through the many controlling tactics used by perpetrators of child sexual abuse and the systems they face.

Thank you Ryan for coming on, shedding a light on what abuse can look like and really stepping into advocacy and trying to normalise talking about abuse. You are an absolute warrior in your own right, and i'm so thankful to have been able to chat with you.
