The Harm of Childhood Sexual Abuse with Elly Brown, LPC (Part 1)
The messages we internalize in childhood, especially from trauma, rejection, and abuse, can leave lasting scars. Shame lies take root early, convincing us we’re unworthy, unlovable, or beyond help. In this powerful episode, Licensed Professional Counselor Elly Brown shares her deeply personal story of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of multiple perpetrators and the heartbreaking betrayal by her own mother.
What began to feel “normal” in her young mind would take years to untangle. But Elly’s story doesn’t end in despair. Through faith, therapy, and the slow work of healing, she began to experience a redemption she never thought possible.
This is a tender, honest conversation that sheds light on the shame so many silently carry and offers hope that healing is possible.
