Summary
CSA Childhood sexual abuse survivor.
Shanon is a beautiful soul. I connected with her on Instagram where she has an amazing following of trauma survivors who are finding connection and community @survivingchiildhoodtrauma. And Shanon’s story is one of the hardest there is. Shanon never met her Mom. She died whilst giving birth to Shanon. And Shanon was raised by her father. Under his care she was abused by her Grandfather. At five years of age Shanon began asking people outside of her home to hear her. Because even at five she questioned what was happening. But nobody listened. Nobody. There is so much more to this story of childhood trauma and healing and the only person who can tell it, is Shanon. It’s vital you hear Shanon’s story.
You can find Shanon on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/survivingchildhoodtrauma/ and her website https://survivingchildhoodtrauma.com/
