Victim to survivor. Ginn's story on healing from sexual abuse.
Trigger Warning: This episode may act as a trigger as it covers a topic of sensitive nature.
Ginn has been on a healing journey for five years after experiencing sexual abuse at the age of five. Throughout her life she struggled with several addictions including sex and drug addiction. She never understood why. She actually had forgotten about her traumatic event until a memory came into her head years later. After remembering this, Ginn went from being a victim to becoming a survivor. In this episode she shares her exact tools that has helped her heal. She talks about why talk therapy and journaling played a huge part in her healing process. She also gives great advice when asked what's the biggest thing she has learned about herself through all of her life experiences.
