Elizabeth Smart

But I also recognize that that can happen.

You know, that can end up leading to people being trapped inside their home for years because they don't feel safe leaving their home.

So, I mean, I would say make sure you have your support group.

Make sure you have some good help, whether that is in the form of conventional therapy or counseling.

Or, you know, like there's so many different modalities of therapy these days.

You know, we've got EMDR therapy.

We've got, you know, equine therapy.

There's just so many that if you try one and you don't like it, try something else or maybe try the same form with a different therapist.

I mean, you know, there are as many different types as there are people.

And so you just have to keep trying until you find what works for you.

But I mean, come up with a plan for yourself that still allows you to live life and enjoy life and be able to be an active participant in it, but where you also have your boundaries and you know what your safe boundaries are.

And when someone crosses that, you have a plan and you know what to do.

I mean...

First of all, I will shamelessly plug the Elizabeth Smart Foundation yet again.

One of our other initiatives is called Smart Defense.

And, you know, it's all about helping women be able to defend themselves, but also giving them the knowledge, not just the physical training, but the knowledge to understand that

What's okay?

What's not okay?

Where can rape come from?

What are defend your or stand your ground laws?
