What she didn't say at the bar - Brooke's Journey

In this powerful episode of Change Happened, Then What?, Brooke shares the story she never told at the bar—her private journey through trauma, survival, and healing. She opens up about being stalked and sexually assaulted in college, living with chronic pain from Trigeminal Neuralgia (often called the “suicide disease”), and what it means to carry invisible wounds.   Brooke’s story is one of incredible strength, vulnerability, and resilience. Through years of silence, she found the courage to speak—and in doing so, she reclaims her voice and begins to heal.   If you’re looking for real conversations about trauma recovery, chronic illness, mental health, and the power of sharing your truth, this episode is for you.  National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN)  1-800-656-HOPE (4673)  www.rainn.org Free, confidential support 24/7 via phone or online chat.  Vermont Network Against Domestic & Sexual Violence  www.vtnetwork.org A coalition of local organizations supporting survivors throughout Vermont.  The Trevor Project (LGBTQ+ support)  www.thetrevorproject.org  1-866-488-7386 – 24/7 support for LGBTQ+ youth in crisis.  Love is Respect (Dating abuse & healthy relationships) www.loveisrespect.org  Text “LOVEIS” to 22522  Call 1-866-331-9474   If you'd like to support the show, just click the link | Be a part of the Change Happened community Enter to win the "What Changed Me Community Challenge" | Enter to Win!
