This podcast intends to be a space to share stories of healing childhood sexual trauma.

Childhood sexual abuse is widely prevalent (1 in 3 women, 1 in 6 men) and simultaneously, hardly spoken about. The taboo associated with the subject allows this disease to persist within our society. Over the last year, I have spoken to and read stories of hundreds of adult survivors. Traumas can’t be compared and yet, I believe that this is one of the deepest forms of trauma that exists. So learning about it holds the key to deep spiritual growth for both adult survivors and others alike.

In this podcast, I desire to interview survivors across race, caste, nationality and economic class. I desire to allow each survivor the choice in revealing as much or as little of their story as they feel comfortable with, while encouraging the use of non-euphemistic language in describing what was done to them when they were kids. Euphemisms only serve to further dampen the impact of the ghastliness of the act of raping a child and allow such acts to persist in our society.

Here, we make space for ghastliness.

I intend for this podcast to be a healing space for the adult survivors sharing their story. The act of speaking to an audience is healing in itself and I’ll be also sharing somatic tools and practices to the interviewee as we explore their history. If you’d like to be interviewed, please reach out to me.
