"Bringing the conversation of surviving sexual assault and the empirical healing practices of a trauma specialist into the forefront of greater public awareness is vital to our world today. I am so proud of Sara and her team for producing this interview, and I hope it provides support, understanding, and a wider pathway toward healing for those who find it."
