Surviving the Trauma of Sexual Abuse

This week on Unspoken Clodagh is joined by Hannah Saunders who very bravely shares her Unspoken with us. Hannah’s story centres around her experience of being sexually abused as a child, and she speaks to Clodagh today about navigating life following the trauma she endured; learning she was not alone in her suffering; and her journey to healing, and to becoming the strong, resilient and inspiring woman she is today. This is an incredibly powerful conversation about overcoming and shining a light for others. You will be amazed as Hannah's strength. Stay tuned to the end of the episode where Clodagh shares her expert advice for others who have experienced trauma. Follow Hannah on Instagram @hannahcjsaundersResources:Book Recommendation:Above Water by Trish KearneySupport Services:One in Four |oneinfour.ieDublin Rape Crisis Centre | drcc.ie24-Hour Freephone National Helpline | 1800 77 8888Rape Crisis Network Ireland | rcni.ieToday’s episode is very kindly sponsored by Sensate.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to Unspoken, the podcast that highlights experiences that are all too common but rarely discussed. I am Dr Clodagh Campbell, The Wellness Psychologist, and I feel very passionately about speaking the Unspoken to remove the taboo and shame that so often surrounds our experiences and internal worlds.  For each episode of Unspoken I am joined by someone who would like to uncover their unspoken story with us, in order to help themselves, but also to help others. Episodes will mirror the therapy process, cultivating a listening experience where those tuning in will feel like they have a fly on the wall vantage of these unspoken, often taboo topics, that are actually far more common than we might care to admit or realise.Episodes will conclude with me sharing my expert advice on how those listening who relate to this Unspoken can care for themselves and lower the distress they or a loved one may be experiencing, for we all have our Unspokens, and now is the time for us break through the shame and taboo that has always held us back Hosted on Acast.
