Are victims telling the truth or just adding to their stories as they go along? If they are telling the truth, why are their stories fragmented and why didn't they say something sooner? This episode discusses traumatic memories, the brain's survival mechanisms, and why abuse survivors describe events that are fragmented, confusing, and seemingly unbelievable.

As mentioned in the episode:

“You’re not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth, and raging courage.” -Alex Elle“The Keepers” on Netflix, directed and produced by Ryan WhiteFrom Pain to Power: Overcoming Sexual Trauma and Reclaiming Your True Identity by Mary Ellen MannThe Wounded Heart: Help for Adult Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse by Dan AllenderShame Interrupted by Edward T.
