We begin to heal from trauma such as sexual assault and domestic abuse when we break the silence and speak up about those issues. It must begin with people openly speaking out about these issues, without shame. If people begin to open a nonjudging, accepting dialogue about this, the survivors can feel safe enough to leave their isolation of shame and fear, and open up, letting their deep secrets out. When we break that hold that silence has kept on the issues, then we can address them and begin to eradicate the violence that pervades our society.
