00:00I started dating, so we got married, second marriage, and I got pregnant, so I had two
00:05children, and it was at that point where the memories came back of my and they would not go
00:12away. And there came a point when the marriage counselor, he looked at me and he said, Jane,
00:16your anger and depression just don't match the circumstances. Is there something else we don't
00:21know about? I went home and I thought, you know, I've tried to fix myself. I've tried to fix my
00:27husband. I'm a stay-at-home mom. My life should be perfect. What is wrong? And I thought maybe
00:32there's something inside of me. And that was the day that I decided to quit and start writing my
00:37story down. And that's when I realized, wait a second, my life happened out of order. I was
00:43age six. I knew too much about intimacy. I disassociated. It changed the trajectory of my
00:49life. So I decided that I needed to share my story and I found a TEDx that I really, really
00:56wanted.
00:56And they said, yes. And here we were. So we've come a very long way. My book is now published.
01:02I'm healing. I'm still growing. I'm still developing, but I'm healing.
01:06Ways to prevent siblings and trauma. Number one, acknowledge that it happens. Number two,
01:13talk about it. If I could talk to that six-year-old little girl today, I would tell her,
01:18it's not your fault. You are strong. You are capable and you will be a advocate one day. Stay strong.
