⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses childhood sexual abuse. Please listen at your own pace and care for yourself as needed.

In this episode of Breakthrough the Couch, we sit down with guest Michael Reh, who courageously shares his story as a childhood sexual abuse survivor. Together, we discuss the realities of trauma, the challenges survivors face, and the ongoing journey of healing.

We explore:

•The impact of childhood trauma on identity, trust, and relationships

•How shame and silence often keep survivors from seeking support

•The role of therapy in reclaiming safety and voice

•Finding resilience, meaning, and growth after trauma

•How friends, family, and communities can better support survivors

This conversation is both tender and powerful, reminding us that healing isn’t linear—but it is possible. Whether you are a survivor yourself, love someone who is, or want to deepen your understanding, this episode offers insight, compassion, and hope.
