Description
CONTENT WARNING - Talk of child sexual abuse, intra-familial abuse, control and manipulation
In this episode, Kristi speaks with Deb Aldrick, Author, Survivor Advocate and Lived Experience Speaker about intra-familial abuse or child sexual abuse within the family group.
Deb wrote the book, 'Circling the Wagons' about the different ways in which families hide and protect abusers with control and manipulation and how it effects survivors.
This episode breaks down the effect and impacts of child sexual abuse and why the lack of protection and belief within our families often creates greater trauma than the abuse itself.
