It takes the average childhood abuse victim 24 years to reveal their trauma history, even though disclosure is often the key to recovery. Some survivors choose to keep silent to avoid potential stigma, but others are not consciously aware that they suffered abuse.

In this episode, I cover the first 5 of 10 reasons why survivors might not recognize that they were abused as children.
