Summary
In this episode, I sit down with a good friend of mine who has been with me for a long time to talk about her experience with abuse and how she has dealt with it. We talk about how she deals with her own experiences with abuse, how she dealt with the stigma surrounding abuse in the media, and how to deal with people who don t believe abuse stories.
