This channel is dedicated to all those brave fellow 'adult survivors of child sexual abuse'. You are not alone out there, you are believed and supported in finding your voice & handing the shame back to the abusers - where it belongs.

Each week I will add another interview with a 'fellow survivor' to help support our community in finding their way to truth and freedom, which only real truth can bring. Please feel free to reach out if you would also like to be a guest on the show.

About Me: I too am a survivor of child sexual abuse spanning sixteen years. I have written a book called On Angels' Wings - My Flight from Trauma to Grace.

I also blog monthly on https://www.handingtheshameback.org/
