Survivor of Animal R*pe

In today’s episode, a childhood sexual abuse survivor shares what it was like growing up in a home where sexual abuse, including abuse involving animals, was normalized, hidden, and never spoken about. She walks through the reality of grooming, manipulation, and fear, and how those dynamics made it nearly impossible to speak up, even when they knew something was wrong. She opens up about the impact on their relationships, their sense of safety, and the long journey of processing shame, seeking therapy, and eventually finding the courage to share their story publicly. This conversation also explores why so many survivors don’t report, what the legal process actually looks like, and how healing and advocacy can coexist.
