Healing from Sexual Assault, Rape and Violence with guest Christine Ristaino

Confident, Energized and Sexy Mama Show - Health & Mindset Coaching, Cycle Syncing, Flow Living for Working Moms

On today's show, I'm chatting with Christine Ristaino, author of the memoir All The Silent Spaces.

Here’s what we covered:

• What led her to write her book ‘All The Silent Spaces’
• Her terrifying story of being molested at age 9 by a man her family loved, raped at 21 by a man she didn’t know and later on beaten and assaulted in front of her two children.
• The lesson from being attacked and assaulted three times in life by different men
• The importance of having difficult conversations with your children about trauma, death, sexual violence, racism and rape.
• Sharing your truth authentically with courage is healing
• Public good and private bad – people are capable of both. It’s important to talk about the complexity of human nature.
• Christine’s relationship with her body and sexuality post-sexual assault
• How can women effectively bear witness to the stories of those who have experienced sexual assault and/or trauma?
• How to become an integrated, whole-woman even after such a debilitating life experience.
• Going from victim to a victor
