Not My Secret | Taylor Burch-Rosin | Kara's Lipstick Diary | E2:9

Over 40% of women are sexually assaulted.  That is who reports.  In a culture where sexual assault and rape are so common often times survivors have trouble accepting their assaults.  They are often in denial or try to push it down in their memory or they blame themselves.  But all of this leads to mental health issues, trust issues, sexual issues, PTSD, low self esteem, anxiety, depression and more. 

My guest Taylor Burch-Rosin, a fellow sexual assault survivor, and I discuss the healing processes we have both undergone after our own assaults. We all go through different ways of healing.  Sexual assault is devastating.  Survivors are often not believed, blamed and the rapists rights are often viewed as more important than the woman who were violated rights, needs and future.  It's time to help women.  It's time to stop keeping the secrets of those who cause harm.  It's time to heal, to find our voices, and hold those who assault accountable for their actions.  This is not our shame to keep secret.  This is theirs and we will not stay silent.  We must speak out and start to heal. 

After years of denial about what I have lived through, plus self blame and down playing it all to just being normal and what happens to women, I was suffering from PTSD and anxiety.  This led to suicidal depression that and many sexual and relationship issues, as well as, health problems from the trauma.  Finally in 2019 I started therapy ready to figure out the root of my issues and then in 2021 I started the process of reprogramming my nervous system through EMDR therapy.  Both of these things have been life changing.
