    What My Abuser Told Me About His Childhood | I’m Back in Therapy

    How do we talk about the cycle of abuse without excusing the harm someone caused? In my first episode back, I reflect on what my abuser told me about his childhood and the questions it left me with. I also share an update on life since the podcast stopped, my experience with health anxiety, and why I’m returning to therapy.
