Normalizing the Conversation About Sexual Abuse | Sebastian Scales | Shaun T

Sebastian Scales gets real about sexual trauma and abuse. This might be a subject many may be uncomfortable with, but when the statistics are that about 1 in 10 children will be sexually abused before they turn 18, the awareness around this issue is so important to share. With his trauma, Sebastian learned to tell the story in more of a lighthearted comedic sense of how he was sexually abused by his best friends father when he was 8 years old. He shares the details of how he brought his molester to court, how the judicial system handles these trials, and how his comedy has helped open the door for others to feel comfortable to share their own stories and trauma from when they were children.

Thank you for having this conversation out loud 💗 my abuser was my mother's best friends son. It happened about 7 years and I've never actually tried to really work thru my feelings as an adult. I've had a traumatic life and I've worked through other things but not my childhood abuse. This made me realize it's what I'm needing at this point in my life.

This was such an important message to share. Thank you for continuing the conversation to normalize trauma. Sebastian is a genuine soul who makes us feel relaxed enough to discuss such important topics. It's a sad story but a very uplifting ending (continuing story of healing). Thank you both!

Thank you 🙏. I have been working through childhood sexual ritual abuse for most of my life. The official stats have been stated to be 1 in 4 have been sexually abused- clearly reported cases are not 100% of cases so that means it's more than 1 in 4 people. This is a highly relevant and far reaching topic. Thank you so much for talking about this. So much love and respect to you both 🙏❤️‍🔥 🌟 The stats reference is regarding all ages & from Dr Dan Allender's book The Wounded Heart /The Wounded Heart workbook- a resource I highly recommend to go through in a small group with a therapist ❤️‍🔥, or with someone you can trust 🙏 .

We need to normalize telling our children to speak up about abuse. Don’t believe in sleepovers especially after hearing Vanessa Williams story. Veangence is mine says the Lord

The scary part is what if the Dad was also molesting his son? Hence why the friend knew his friend wasnt lying. So sad 😢
