S4E7 Tennis String Strength (Part 2)

Drinking himself to sleep every night as a young teen, we rejoin Isaac at the beginning of his journey toward healing. In the second part of his powerful interview, he shares more about the psychological toll of sexual violence and the progressive decline in his mental health. Turning toward recovery in the hospital, Isaac talks about coping mechanisms, looking for help, and learning the language of survivorship. With the guidance of an advocate, he was able to find himself beyond trauma, transform suffering to power and positivity, and become a speaker for sexual assault awareness.
