Hi listeners, my name is Anu Verma and I am a survivor of sexual abuse. Due to my early childhood experiences, I found myself trapped as an adult in a lot of unhealthy and abusive relationships. Trauma can have severe impacts on ones mental health and there is a need for more awareness and support out there to offer victims a helping hand and a way out. That’s what I’m trying to do in my own small way. 

I have read a lot over the years about abuse and have had much therapy but I found writing to be very therapeutic. It has helped me to heal and has given me a voice, so much so that I have recently been published. Although I am aware that there is much literature out there on the subject of abuse and there are some common traits in most experiences, I do still believe that every journey and experience is unique. As a British born Asian woman, I know only too well that in my community, many issues are still taboo and not discussed openly or at all. 

I share chapters 1 & 2 of my story with you in this podcast episode. My hopes are for my story to reach out to help raise awareness to be give survivors the strength and courage to speak up and to seek help. 

Please see an article which has been published on my story by the Daily Telegraph: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-sexual-abuse-survivors-powerful-19624725
