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

•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
