In season one I talked about sexual violence as a form of spiritual abuse and I have recieved many questions about that over the last 6 years, so I decided to do a deeper dive on this topic. This episode outlines my thoughts on spirituality as a frame for thinking about the impact of sexual violence on individauls and communities, as well as a frame for the path toward healing.
