These two drawings show the experience of living with the trauma of childhood sexual abuse. Some days are good—with productivity emerging from dark voices and terrifying flashbacks. Some days are bad—with intense pain, feelings of defeat and violent nightmares. Drawing creates a concrete expression of the inner world and some short-term relief. The greatest satisfaction now is being in a helping profession and giving to others. Our goal as a society needs to be increasing empathy and respect for all, and most importantly, listening to children and believing them.
