It’s 3.28am and I’ve just listened to this podcast. As someone who has experienced abuse and has spent a lifetime in a closet of denial, I was deeply moved by this presentation and your handling of issues that touched a very raw nerve. The principal outtake (for me) about being non-judgemental - and not judging the ones who judge - strikes a very deep chord. Thank you for this. The first lights of dawn have taken on a different hue.
