Those that were believed, they're out there. I'm not saying that they're not in some type of treatment, but I tell you what it's interesting that I don't see the ones that the community or parents, mothers in particular, picked up on and helped them get the right resources.
When headlines scream about high-profile cases like Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh, the personal toll on those involved can be overwhelming. In this episode of 'Counseling On Demand', Dr. Fred Riley tackles the complex issue of sexual trauma in the public eye. Joined by guest Derek Overstreet, the discussion goes beyond the political noise to focus on the real human impact of these events.
Overstreet, who has extensive experience working with survivors of sexual trauma, sheds light on the emotional and psychological challenges faced by those who come forward. Dr. Riley emphasizes the importance of providing unwavering support for survivors, stressing that therapy can be a crucial lifeline for those who are not believed. The conversation also touches on the dangers of politicizing trauma and the critical need for better resources and support systems.
This episode offers a compassionate look at the struggles of reliving trauma and highlights the importance of empathy and understanding in these difficult situations.
