YouTubeSurviving Childhood Abuse, Psychedelics, and the Power of Faith
This episode isn’t for the faint at heart. Because Dawnmarie’s story and the stories she shares are heartbreaking. The data and her clinical experience indicates that one in four girls are abused in the household before 18 years old, and most of that abuse happens before age 6. And while having a step-parent is the number one risk , unfortunately they are often not the only person at blame. DawnMarie is a survivor in the truest sense, having taken her past of horrible abuse and turning the pain into true purpose and mission. But it was messy, took courage and ultimately took faith. Dawnmarie’s story is one of hope, and that there is always hope.
