Back to EpisodesSurvivors Are Not to Blame: Breaking the Shame Cycle After Sexual Abuse
Description
What if the shame you have carried was never yours to hold?
Rita De Michele is joined by Dr Martina Zangger, a trauma informed therapist and researcher with over 20 years of experience supporting women and children impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence. Together, they talk about trauma and childhood sexual abuse through a survivor centered, feminist, holistic lens, including how shame gets misplaced onto the victim, how survivors can begin to release it, and what healing can look like when responsibility is named clearly and compassion is restored. If you have ever felt stuck in self blame, this conversation offers language, perspective, and hope.
