The statistics on sexual abuse are astounding. More than one in three women and nearly one in four men have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime. More and more often, people are coming forward to share their stories of surviving sexual assault and abuse. What we typically don't hear or see are the everyday struggles they face in the aftermath. Your hosts, Theresa Reiff and Tom Fallon were both sexually abused. Listen in as they talk through the issues they faced in the aftermath of sexual abuse and how they overcame them.
The discussion about forgiveness isn’t always welcome. If you have faced sexual abuse – you may think of forgiveness as a “four-letter word”. Join Tom and Theresa as they discuss how they found forgiveness for the people that abused them.
