for a conversation about how the book came to be written, the harmful silences around child sexual abuse, the challenges of navigating the medical sphere and support services, and ultimately how Pat and I worked relationally to approach the aftermaths of child sexual abuse (CSA).

Survivors have different needs and there are many different ways of meeting them. A year on and the conversations continue about how we begin to do that in a way that doesn’t cause further harm, and the importance of always looking beyond the label. 3/

Publishing this book was one of the hardest decisions to make but I have no regrets. Every week I’m contacted by someone who tells me the book helps them to better understand themselves, or a survivor they’re supporting. 4/

I’m contacted by professionals in social work, education, healthcare and mental health who tell me they’re approaching things differently as a direct result of this book, and that they are having more conversations about child sexual abuse. This is wonderful to know. 5/
