The alarm bells were going off... I didn't feel like I could tell anyone. Every time the effects of the trauma came up, I put them away until I could deal with them better. Sexually Assaulted As A Young Teen, She Not Only Survived, She Prospered.

Cat talks about the assault, her life afterwards and her refusal to allow the effects of the trauma to dictate the quality of her life. She also discusses how she handled the trauma after until she was able to seek help on her terms.
