Summary
On today's episode, I welcome back Lisa, who was featured on episode 21, "Why We Don't Report Rape." A quick recap: she served in the Coast Guard and was attacked in her room while stationed there. She couldn't identify her attacker, nor was she allowed to put a lock on her door for security. It was a very upsetting episode, and when she reached out, I was thrilled to hear from her. I was hoping for good news, but instead, she shares how she was attacked again. From there, she confides in me the treatment that worked for her, and we discover that we have something in common.
I was really excited to speak with her and had some unexpected surprises during the conversation.

| 1:16.5 | Lisa's talking about how she never shared her original episode with anybody. |
| 1:24.4 | Yeah, so I never sent it to anyone or really told anyone that I did the interview. |
| 1:31.8 | And I sent it to one of my buddies in New Hampshire. |
| 1:37.4 | He's one of my besties, but I haven't seen him in a long time. |
| 1:40.5 | I'm on the other side of the world now. |
| 1:42.3 | And he said, I can't function right now. I'm so |
