Listen on

Episode notes

TRIGGER WARNING! This week Mike speaks with Shaun Hamilton; writer of the book “When your Partner Says #MeToo: Your Role And Responsibilities In Their Recovery Process”, to talk about the book itself and what a someone’s role is when their partner is attempting to recover from sexual violence.

In more detail, their conversation begins with Shaun explaining why he wrote the book, the sexual violence his wife has experienced and how that affects him as a partner. Shaun then explains the “three paths” illustrating the mindsets one can have as a partner of someone going through recovery, the methodology used in his book and the environment one must create, Shaun then explains the difficulties he faced in writing a book of this nature, his definition of recovery and his wife’s experience with Rapid Resolution Therapy (TED Talk link detailing this below), plus other related topics – this is an intense, but incredibly important listen.
