About this episode
Trigger warning: sexual abuse
Mina is our guest today, anonymized to protect their identity. They share their experience with childhood sexual abuse and the effects it had on them, their parents, and their extended family. There are a lot of dynamics to consider and our inner justice-seeker may be triggered; however, the insight as a therapist and survivor they offer is really important to think about.
Let’s talk about second generation trauma, family expectations vs social expectations, our own healing journeys, and how severed ties are navigated in these terribly delicate circumstances.
