Summary

Hello, everyone. My guest today is Jennie, who remembers a time when she is four years old, and her fourteen-year-old babysitter is in bed with her and is touching her. She is terrified. He seems insane, and he smells bad. She wants him to stop, but she’s afraid to say anything. She wants him to die or disappear. Join Jennie and me as she examines the thoughts that have been causing her great suffering, for decades. Close your eyes, get really still, open your mind, and follow along closely as Jenny and I meditate into that situation of long ago.
