I want people to understand that I'm just a regular guy and it's okay to talk about it.
What happens when a survivor of sexual assault channels their trauma into a force for good? In this compelling episode of 'Journey On', host D.J. Burr sits down with Eddie Kedge, who was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a serial predator in 1980. Eddie is one of the rare 'ten percenters', those who were abused by a stranger. His story isn't just about survival; it's about transformation and advocacy.
Eddie discusses his journey from victim to advocate, emphasizing the critical role of support systems and the power of community in the healing process. He opens up about the challenges and benefits of seeking counseling, and how sharing his story has helped him and others. Eddie's work aims to encourage other survivors to break their silence and speak their truths, highlighting the importance of legitimizing discussions around sexual abuse and assault.
This episode is a beacon for anyone looking to understand the profound impact of advocacy and community in the journey to recovery.
