Breaking Free: Empowering Victims to Think for Themselves
We shouldn't be interfering where it's not necessary and we should be where we've been asked to do a job. Otherwise, and what I'm finding is there's a lot of people you wouldn't employ somebody who's never done any electrics before, to come in and do your electrics for you.
Ever felt overwhelmed by others telling you what to do, especially when you're already dealing with the trauma of abuse? In this compelling episode, Hannah Barnard takes us deeper into the importance of thinking for ourselves and not just following the directives of others.
