Chapter IX: The Devil You Know

Trauma has the potential to impact the entire course of a person's life, and when this trauma is sustained and reoccurring, it can be all too easy to fall from one damaging situation to another. In this week's chapter, Shan sits down with Jo to explore how victims of childhood trauma will often find themselves trapped within the vicious cycle of moving from abuser to abuser, and together, they acknowledge the incredible bravery that is needed to break this cycle once and for all.
