Previous Episode: Episode 20 - February 2016

Survivor Survivor Virginia discusses her experience of repeated sexual abuse and harassment over her lifetime, and the implications of growing up in an environment where she was taught that women are there to please men. We discuss the implications of family dynamics and values and how they shape our beliefs into adulthood - and the damage this can do. Virginia and I also discuss how it feels to be a survivor, in a world where you are told by those around you that you weren't assaulted - or that others have it worse off. This was an incredible discussion, with an incredible survivor. Thank you Virginia.
