In this powerful episode, we hear from a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who bravely shares his story. One day, a forgotten memory of the abuse resurfaced, profoundly impacting his life. However, when he shared this revelation, the response from a listener was far from supportive. Join us as we delve into his journey of rediscovery, the challenges of confronting traumatic memories, and the importance of believing and supporting survivors. This episode sheds light on the complexities of memory, trauma, and the urgent need for compassion and understanding.
