In Part 2 of my conversation with survivor Sydney, they detail more instances of the domestic abuse experienced at the hands of a former partner. In this episode we discuss the ongoing nature of abuse, the work that needs to be done to heal ones inner child, and how Syd has survived suicide attempts, suicidal ideation and a miscarriage to come out the other side as a happy, healthy, educated and qualified health professional. I am so proud of the work Syd has put into their healing, and it is nothing short of inspirational to listen to. Thank you Syd for coming and sharing your story.
