Thank you for sharing your story... it resonates a lot for me! I turn 49 this year and for the last 3 years I have been working hard on me. I am just opening up again as I deserve happiness and love. ❤️ thank you x
I let it stay a secret and I abused alcohol for years. The shame and embarrassment guilt and anger you feel about yourself and the anger you feel about your abuser will seep through in the worst way imaginable if you abuse so much alcohol you start sharing your story in public by screaming it in rage and saying all the horrible things that were left to to fester when you keep this secret. Do not let it destroy do not let it take you over. You can amd need to find help and talk to people.
Can you imagine finally finding the courage to go to a counseller only to be manipulated, coerced and abused by the counsellor? That is what happened to me.
Bravo, Jill! It's one thing to undergo unspeakable trauma. It's quite another to go thru' the catharsis and speak about it so you can heal and inspire others to do the same. Your talk will undoubtedly change and even save lives!
Thank you for this powerful speech! My husband recently helped me free myself from a secret. At first I was terrified, now I can see what a blessing it was. I can move forward and heal, with his support as well as an amazing therapist ❤️
Not all people go off the rails though turning to escapism through alcohol, promiscuity. A lot of people like myself "your body is your temple.' The physiological issues described she is correct.
Great talk Jill. I'm thrilled that I was able to be there live. So brave, so real, so important. Thank you for having the courage to share this story with us.
Jill, i want to tell you that I LOVED it. You're a very good speaker.. and you're telling it from your heart. Not all tedtalks are like that. Standing ovation. I said, WOOOOWWWWW!!! And teared up at the applause. You deserved to be there. And you'r incredibly inspirational. Thank you for doing that talk. ❤
Wow, this hit me deep. I've been battling with this secret for a while but not finding how to release it. I've talked to my bestfriend about it, but I cant move on from it. I hope I find a way to proceed on healing soon, to help myself Thank you Jill for your story
I was taught my voice is not wanted or needed and must always be silent unless saying something positive. Even when others are harming me and saying horrible things to me. In my head I say ok this person can't be reasoned with and I just comply then figure out how to escape. My whole life has felt like I have Stockholm syndrome with everyone except 1 friend. I'm nowhere near being able to verbally communicate but at least I know I want to learn to speak, but not overly harshly so that things are distorted. I don't want to speak and be abusive but I don't want to be self abusive and set someone up to be an abuser because I don't speak out
Ok yes I I'll do it, for days i hv been thinking hardly to let go of my secrets....and i know from deep inside of my being i hv to tell the truth....it's going to be vulnerable nd horrible......it's 'do or die'.
Thank you very helpful and inspiring. Never doubt you purpose in public speaking and helping others its definitely a blessing to us all to hear your story and others and to know were not alone.
That was really beatiful it hit me hard ❤❤ I'm a boy who survived child abuse and it took me 10 years to admit it and i can tell that i missed very important thing in my life and now i want to be free itns the first time i talk about it i live in an arabic and muslim country so it's impossible to talk about or you'd be killed (specially to a boy)but i really want to heal and let go of my past and i don't know how ? To who i can tell my secrets 💔 Sorry for my bad english
A person who you feel trust & will protect you. If this person is no use to you, never ever are you to blame, the person who harmed you and likely others is the damaged person. Love yourself. Who you are. Believe in yourself. You have done nothing wrong, in a world of many who have and are surviving Child Abuse. You will be surprised, the many boys & girls who have SUFFERED because of others choosing harm to them.

So this is my aunt, she's such a grounded and cool person, I'm so proud of her, she's so strong, and amazing
Love this. I deal with girls like this. Very Instuctive.
You are lucky to have such an amazing aunt ❤❤❤

This is SUCH a powerful-and important-talk.

OUTSTANDING! So courageous and compelling. This WILL change people's lives. A must watch for so many struggling with their secrets.
Yes - I think it would also help decrease bullying. Have you watched 13 Reasons on Netflix yet?
Diane Taylor we should talk have fun, get by to me

THE most impactful talk of a fantastic event with a dozen excellent talks... Six weeks later, I'm still thinking about Jill's story.

Escapism can be through other things like excessive purchases of plants 🌱 That’s what I do lol
