In this episode of Unfiltered Stories, Andy Stitt opens up about a childhood marked by abuse, fear, and years of questioning his own reality. As an adult, he began confronting traumatic memories, recognizing patterns he had never been able to put into words, and taking the difficult step of going no contact with his mother. In conversation with Marlee Liss, our interviewer and survivor advocate, Andy shares how those memories resurfaced, how he began rebuilding his sense of safety, and how therapy, community, music, movement, and his relationships helped him reclaim his life. This is a difficult but deeply moving story about breaking cycles, finding your voice, and discovering that healing is possible—even after years of silence. #childhoodtrauma #abusesurvivor #survivalstory Thank you for watching Unfiltered Stories!
