Welcome to Episode 202 with my guest, Gillian Callahan Sashire.

I'm Paul Gilmarton, this is the Metal illness happy hour.

Honesty about all the battles in our heads from medically diagnosed conditions, past traumas

and sexual dysfunction to everyday compulsive negative thinking.

The show's not meant to be a substitute for professional metal counseling.

I'm not a therapist, it's not a doctor's office, it's more like a waiting room that

doesn't suck.

The website for the show was mentalpod.com.

Metal Pod is also the Twitter handle you can follow me at.

And I should also mention that I've created a YouTube channel a while ago.

And there are excerpts from the show that we occasionally put up there.

And I just put a little three minute video together.

I've always been struck by how profound the struggle and the sentence surveys are.

And I put a three minute piece together that is text excerpts of people describing how

they are thoughts and feelings in the wake of experiencing sexual trauma.

It's pretty heavy, but I think it might bring some comfort to those of you who have experienced

that and are feeling like you're alone in your thoughts and feelings.

The name of the YouTube channel that we have is mental pod.

And the name of that video is sexual trauma survivors struggle and a sentence.

I believe that's what it is.

Or maybe a longer title.

So yeah, go check out the website as well mentalpod.com.
