Survivor Alex bravely details her experiences of sexual assault as a young woman.
In this episode we discuss sexual assault, and how it is dealing with the effects of sexual assault in the years after.
This discussion covers mental health conditions, including PTSD, we break down what it is to be hyper-sexual after assault and honest experiences we have shared through our mental healing journeys. It is often hard to see misinformation being shared across political and media platforms, rest assured we do have a heated discussion on this too.
