Britt: 在姐姐去世一年后,我意识到自己需要帮助来管理悲伤,并开始接受治疗。在治疗中,我逐渐敞开心扉,分享了13岁时遭受性侵犯的经历。在那之前,我从未对任何人说过这件事。我清楚地记得当时的情景,以及事后我所感受到的羞耻、内疚和困惑。治疗师告诉我,这不是我的错,这让我开始减轻了心理负担。我鼓起勇气将这件事告诉了我的父亲,他的反应让我意识到,我多年来一直背负着不该有的羞耻感。这件事发生在我青春期初期,影响了我对男性、人际关系和性的看法。直到40多岁离婚后,我才真正理解这件事对我性生活的影响。我一直无法将情感与性联系起来,感觉性只是一种行为,而不是一种体验。分享我的故事让我意识到,我的经历是正常的,并且让我有能力掌控自己想要的东西和表达方式。尽管我爱我的丈夫们,但我意识到我需要改变这种情感上的脱离。在性侵发生之前,我遇到危险时会反抗,但那次我却僵住了。之后,我看到那个男人,但我却无法动弹。我希望我的经历能帮助其他人,让他们知道自己并不孤单。

Shownotes Transcript

This episode references to sexual assault and other mature themes.

The chapters we fear the most often hold the keys to our liberation. For Brittani, confronting the sexual assault she endured at 13 was not just a reckoning—it was a battle for her own voice. Her journey was anything but straightforward, winding through years of suppressed memories, silent struggles, and an internal war she fought alone.

For 14 years, Brittani carried the weight of her silence, hiding behind walls that had protected her for so long. But when she finally began therapy and shared her story with her loved ones, those walls started to crumble. Piece by piece, she dismantled the silence that had held her captive, discovering a resilience she hadn’t known was there.

Now, Brittani isn’t just surviving her past, she’s facing it head-on, reclaiming her power, and rewriting her future.
