They cannot hold them.In this episode we look at what the data actually shows about the lifetime prevalence of childhood abuse — and more importantly, what it doesn't and can't capture about what it means to live inside those numbers as an adult.This episode covers childhood abuse, long-term mental health outcomes, and the gap between official data and lived experience.
