Kayleigh Ballantyne: 我在21岁时遭遇了随机的暴力袭击,被歹徒多次刺伤。在袭击过程中,我告诉自己要活下去,并奋力反抗,最终歹徒逃跑了。这次经历给我带来了巨大的心理创伤,包括焦虑、创伤后应激障碍和幸存者内疚感。我花了很长时间才从这次袭击中恢复过来,期间接受了心理治疗,并努力克服这些心理问题。我也和Amy Lord的家人建立了深厚的联系,Amy Lord是被同一个歹徒杀害的。她的死让我更加深刻地体会到幸存者的内疚感,也让我更加坚定地要为她而活。在歹徒的审判中,我作为关键证人出庭作证,讲述了自己的经历。最终,歹徒被判犯有一级谋杀罪。现在,我致力于通过分享我的故事来帮助其他幸存者,并倡导反暴力。我希望我的经历能够鼓励更多的人在面对逆境时找到力量,并相信自己能够克服困难。 Kylie Lowe: 作为主持人,我采访了Kayleigh Ballantyne,倾听了她关于在2013年遭遇随机暴力袭击的经历。Kayleigh勇敢地分享了她从袭击中恢复的历程,以及她如何将创伤转化为倡导的力量,并与Amy Lord的家人建立了深厚的联系。她的故事强调了幸存者内疚感以及在经历创伤后重建生活的重要性。Kayleigh的故事也突出了随机暴力事件的残酷现实,以及幸存者在康复过程中所面临的挑战。通过她的故事,我们了解到,即使在经历了极度痛苦之后,人们仍然能够找到希望和力量,并为他人带来积极的影响。
