The most important part is that you survived, and that's enough.
Ever wondered how someone can rise from the ashes of childhood sexual abuse to become a beacon of resilience and hope? Meet Kelly Wallace, a survivor and employment consultant from Portland, Oregon. In this heartfelt episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Kelly opens up about her harrowing experiences and the journey to healing that followed. At just eight years old, Kelly testified against her grandfather, who had sexually abused her.
Despite the court finding him not guilty, Kelly's fight for justice marked the beginning of a long and challenging road to recovery. Throughout her life, she grappled with PTSD, anxiety, and unhealthy coping mechanisms like drinking and an eating disorder. But Kelly's story is not just one of struggle; it's also one of triumph. After graduating college, she returned to Oregon and began building a successful consulting business while working on her recovery from alcoholism.
Therapy, writing, and advocacy have been her pillars of strength. Kelly is now working on a memoir that chronicles her life as a survivor, offering insights and hope to others facing similar battles. This episode dives deep into the impacts of childhood sexual abuse on mental health and relationships, while also highlighting the importance of having a strong support system.
Kelly's advocacy work serves as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Tune in to hear Kelly's inspiring journey and learn how she turned her pain into a source of strength and support for others.
