Ever wondered how childhood experiences shape our adult lives? In this eye-opening episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Meredith M, who bravely shares her story of growing up in a household devoid of privacy and sexual boundaries. Meredith recounts being sexualized by her father, mother, and step-mother in covert but deeply damaging ways.
This lack of boundaries left her grappling with perfectionism, self-harm, and an attraction to emotionally unavailable men, often finding herself on both ends of manipulative and coercive sexual experiences. Through candid conversations, Meredith discusses the transformative power of therapy, support groups, and mindfulness in her healing journey. She emphasizes the importance of breaking the silence around such traumatic experiences and seeking help. One poignant moment comes when Meredith shares, 'The lengths that we go to avoid feeling shame is incredible...

Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of support in overcoming past traumas. If you're looking for a raw, honest conversation about healing from childhood trauma and manipulative sexual experiences, this episode is a must-listen.
