As you get the confidence to start sharing, you can start to find people who you can trust with your story, who aren't going to betray you, who aren't going to invalidate you, and then you start to build your own support system in addition to your therapist or psychologist, or whoever it might be.
Family can be a source of comfort, but for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sharing their trauma story can sometimes lead to re-victimization. In this eye-opening episode of 'Beyond Your Past', host Matt Pappas sits down with Miranda Pacchiana, an MSW and coach dedicated to helping abuse survivors. Miranda opens up about her own journey of disclosing her abuse to her family and the emotional turmoil that followed.
She highlights the risks of re-traumatization and the heavy burden of shame that many survivors carry. Miranda's candid discussion sheds light on how family members, often unintentionally, can re-victimize survivors through invalidation or betrayal. She offers practical advice on how to navigate these tricky dynamics and emphasizes the importance of building a robust support system.
