…so why is it that I don’t enjoy being referred to as “a Survivor”?! This chapter was originally published on November 24, 2020 and was the first thing I ever wrote with regards to my views on r*pe culture and healing. 

In this chapter I go through the three reasons why I don’t identify as a Survivor, and the benefits I believe come from of doing all of the really uncomfortable (yet necessary) healing work. It’s also been updated post publication ban (so it's more candid), and I finally touch on something really sensitive and really important with regards to mental health. I also talk a lot about potatoes. If you haven’t listened to any of the podcasts yet, this is an excellent one to begin with. It’s also the shortest one. But while it requires the smallest investment of time, it contains the highest concentration of the “good stuff” that helps with the healing.
