Survivor of sexual assault Shelly describes her experiences of assault as a young adult. We discuss the freeze response as a survival response to sexual assault, and coping with the feelings of 'freezing' in the aftermath. Through our conversation we touch on consent and sociocultural norms surrounding 'gaining consent'. This was an incredibly insightful and powerful conversation with an incredible survivor.
