Casey Anthony documentary- Childhood trauma therapist reacts to comments

I’m generally a pretty patient and easy-going person. I’m pretty open to listening to differing opinions.

BUT, there is something I have very little patience for…

That is when “experts” and people with huge platforms perpetuate lies, myths, or shame that can have a deep impact on how a survivor or society thinks about what it means to be a survivor of sexual trauma.

With the release of the documentary, Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies, there has been no shortage of commentary, from people with very large platforms to those in their comment section, sharing their opinions (stated as fact) about how they "know" she must be lying about the abuse allegations.

Today's video is not about whether she is being truthful about being a survivor or about her at all. It's about the potential damage to survivors and the reality of what it means to be a survivor by confronting the myths/lies of what survivors would and wouldn't do.

I'd love to hear from you. If you're a survivor and watched it or saw the commentary, what did it bring up for you? If you're not a survivor, did what you heard in the commentary reaffirm some of what you've heard before?

You can also let me know if there are specific myths/lies you'd like me to address.
