26. Knowing It's Never Our Fault with Tess Bartholomew

In this episode, we discuss the way in which sharing our stories of sexual assault can help us to acknowledge our trauamas. Is there a difference between sexual assault and sexual trauma? Why do we blame ourselves for sexual violence that doesn't feel "bad enough"? Grab a cup of tea or some Halloween candy and join our conversation!
