Understanding childhood trauma and abuse | Tanya Waymire | TEDxFlowerMound

Tanya reveals her secret for the first time on the TEDx stage. It took courage to confront the truth and come out about the ongoing sexual abuse she suffered as a child from a close family member.

Maybe stranger danger isn't the term or platform to teach our kids about the dangers to their safety. TEDx is about ideas worth spreading. TEDx is a program of local events designed to bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Just like a TED event, the TEDx event is focused on bringing in live speakers to spark deep conversations and connections in a smaller group.
Speaker This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
