International Women’s Day 2025: State of Mind 67: Courageous Journeys: Healing from Childhood Sexual Abuse

While childhood sexual abuse affects millions, it disproportionately impacts women and girls. Research shows that one in five girls and one in 20 boys experience abuse before the age of 18. The effects can be lifelong—but so can healing.

 

In this episode, licensed psychotherapist and host Debra Sloss is joined by survivor and author Alreen Haeggquist, who shares her personal journey of recovery and the emotional challenges survivors face. Also joining the conversation is Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma specialist Stefanie Klein, who provides expert insights on healing from trauma.

 

Through resilience, courage, and self-discovery, recovery is possible. This conversation is for survivors, loved ones, and anyone seeking to understand the complexities of healing. Listener discretion is advised.
