Healing the Broken Spirit: Reflections of How Sexual Assault Affects Women of Color

A Date With Darkness Podcast is hosted by Dr. Natalie Jones, Psyd., LPCC, a licensed psychotherapist in Oakland and Sacramento CA. Join Dr. Jones for an intimate discussion about the effects of abuse dynamics and healing from relationship trauma.

In this discussion, I invited guest Babita Spinelli, a licensed psychoanalyst in NY/NJ who specializes in treating women of color who have suffered childhood sexual assault. Babita and I discuss the importance of addressing the cultural differences in women of color who are survivors of sexual assault in their community. She discusses the extra barriers that women of color must face in their communities, treatment, and families.
