Hey ladies, hey ladies, We are back in the light for another week. This is Dr. Anita Phillips and I am so excited to talk to you.

Decided to pause and do some Q and A for this episode. So many of you have

submitted incredibly important questions and I want to take the time to answer some of

them but before we jump into that I want you to welcome someone

back to In The Light I have Danny Wheatley with me here today now you guys may

remember Danny from episode 3. She was the mom and the

mom daughter duo who shared such a powerful story about discovering that her

daughter was a sexual abuse survivor,

the challenges that those traumas brought to their relationship,

and how she chose her daughter to overcome it.

I was so moved by her words.

I know many of you were too. I think during that episode I also mentioned that Danny is a therapist too and I had such a good time talking with her offline. I thought it would be great to bring her back. So Danny, say

hello to everyone. Hello, hello, how is everyone doing? I am so so glad to be

here. I'm excited to have you, especially for the Q&A episode because this one truth I know two heads are better than one and much more fun and much more fun and much more fun much more fun but before we jump into our Q&A time I really really want to take a moment to look back because

on the episode right before this one we talked about the incredible healing and growth power of

telling our stories out loud, not only writing them down, but speaking them out and

inviting others into the story with you in a way that actually improves our mental health.

And then we heard it happen in real time with our phenom guest, Candice Ewing, a pastor's wife

from Houston, who told us her story about escaping the storm of

major depressive disorder. So all that said looking back.

Danny, what did you experience as a result of telling your story on In The Light?

That experience was very strengthening for me as well as Sherry.
