Why do we have to hide? Well if you look at the Cornell case, the Epstein files, Larry Nassar, only to name three very prominent cases, not to mention all the other cases where women are not believed, what would you expect?

If you are still processing what happened at Cornell and are experiencing strong emotions, please join us for a special episode of Shining Light on Shadows.

Everyone is entitled to own their own trauma. We get to own our own stories. One person's experience is no more or less traumatic than someone else's.

Healing is not a linear journey. It is a constant back-and-forth, at least for me. There have been many moments in my life like this. In the early years, I thought those moments meant I was regressing—that I had somehow undone the healing I had worked so hard for. But over time, I came to understand something different.

Kenneth, Dawn and Neil are all survivors of sexual assault. Our experiences with the initial trauma and the recovery have all been different. Our journeys have one thing in common, however. Our paths to healing have been winding and unpredictable.
