The Shame That Comes After Victimization

Описание: In this expert video, Dr. Guila S. Criminologist, and RJ Facilitator or restorative, explores how shame forms after victimization, not just from what happened, but from how others respond when someone discloses.

Drawing from restorative justice, trauma research, and lived experience, this conversation looks at:

Why shame often follows victimization

How secondary victimization deepens harm

How harmful responses and myths get internalized

Why “it’s not your fault” is a powerful antidote to shame

For many survivors, healing isn’t just about what happened—it’s about releasing the shame that never belonged to them.

You’re not imagining it.
And you’re not alone.

🖤 Braving Healing is here to support survivors through story, knowledge, justice, and community.
