Description

Your host Kelsey is sharing her personal survivor story.  Why is this important? Ultimately we want to end rape and all rape culture. And calling it out as it is is the first step.

Topics/Triggers:

• Who helped her along the way, who she couldn't turn to and why.
• How working with a psychiatrist and using prescribed meds aided in her recovery.
• The simplest ways her friends showed up for her in this time.
• The distractions that didn’t serve the process.
• Some very common survivor instincts she had and exhibited
• The forms of recovery that helped Kelsey reclaim herself and her power.
