OM DENNE EPISODE
Sibling sexual abuse is one of the most hidden and least spoken about forms of harm within the home.
In this episode, we begin a careful and necessary conversation about what it looks like when harmful sexual behaviour happens between siblings, specifically when both children are minors.
Drawing from real conversations with children, this episode explores why many children never speak up, how family dynamics shape silence, and why this form of abuse is often misunderstood or dismissed.
You will also hear a deeper reflection on exposure, including early encounters with pornography, and how removing shame can open the door for children to seek help before harm escalates.
This episode is for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who wants to better understand what is often left unspoken, and how to respond differently.
