In this episode, we hear the heartbreaking story of Anna, who shares her experience of domestic abuse. Her story has been read by someone else to protect her identity. Despite not being allowed to see friends, Anna went to a work event and later returned home to be physically assaulted and coerced into unwanted sex. Our host emphasises the importance of finding a safe person to confide in about abuse and provides resources for those affected. Part two of the podcast will feature how Anna learned to survive and thrive after the abuse. The podcast's goal is to encourage others to share their stories to raise awareness about abusive relationships. The second episode will provide listeners with useful tips on surviving abuse. The speaker empathises with someone who was not allowed to feel depressed and emphasises the importance of self-care and seeking help if needed.
