Although their friendship is relatively new, Janet & Em understanding of one another reflects how deep of a connection they already share. As survivors of sexual assault, they’re both able to reflect on their pasts and hearten their healing processes.
We’d like to thank Janet & Em for participating openly & vulnerably in our project. We appreciate what they’ve shared with us and hope you do as well.

em's voice really reminds me of liv from made in chelsea
Every time when the question: "Why do you love me?" comes up I feel very similar to her. I don't know why I love a person, however I know I love a person because: I feel safe, they make me happy, their joy is my joy, their pain is my pain etc…
Wow, you both articulated that so well! I really relate to Janet and see me in her. I too, have always said i don't know how to laugh, how to be happy, how to love people other than my children, how not to shrink when i experience human touch. Ive learned people cant be trusted, its a F-up way to live life, your never really living. Its always forced and i just never knew where that came from. Your both so brave! I thank you for helping me tap in and tune into my own repressed emotions and the outcomes, because of my own experience of emotional and physical violations. Your amazing and my heart goes out to all the innocense lost by the hands of monsters.
Wow I'm so amazed and grateful for these beautiful, strong, vulnerable women… What a beautiful relationship, thank you so much for sharing your exeperiences with this platform 🙏🏽❤️
Xei
When will men stop abus!n our girls??
Men are the probIem!!
Sirens!
OK, loved her voice.
perpetual self-victimization is becoming the norm unfortunately.
Por favor legendas em português quero muito ver mas n percebo
So relatable and true. I appreciate this so much. I feel less alone and less messed up because I feel just like this.
Wow, these women are both really brave and very aware of their own progress and what they need to work on to be their best and live their best lives. I wish them both nothing but the best 🙂
No one should go through this! Especially a child!
I’m so glad these two had each other. They understand so much about the world and each other, so wise together❤️
Glad you are talking about this. This…type of after effect…PTSD, needs more understanding. Sexual assault & rape victims…we lose all sense of pleasure (intimate, social), what is or not appropriate. For me, there is always a guilt there. I even felt guilty enjoying sex with my husband at times. Like, I am betraying the trauma that happened to my younger self, that I had no control over, but still feel responsible. It's a lifelong hell honestly.
Sending so much love to both. Janet you deserve so much love xo you are so strong. Ps please do part 2
I relate to this so damn much…
EDMR might be a great method for those who suffered from this to process their trauma!
I don't think I've ever heard anyone explain the experience of sexual assault/trauma so eloquently as Em did here in just a few minutes. I'm gonna rewatch this later just to absorb it. Thank you both for your vulnerability. Your friendship is beautiful. Much love 💗
Am i tripping or does Janet sound a lot like Bette Porter/Jen Beals?
Chemical castration would solve the problem of male rapists
I applaud your honesty and vulnerability .. it takes a lot of courage to say to thousands of people…
beautiful I'm sorry you had to go through that
A really moving video. I hope that they can release themselves of their pain and tension and feel free, safe and truly happy. You deserve it and thank you for your honesty and vulnerability!
I relate so much w/ Janet at 8:35
To avoid my inner emotions and dating, I got my BS in biology and currently finishing my Masters in biology
I just want to consume myself in work
I appreciate both of them SO much for doing this and am sending a telepathic hug 💖
So sad and beautiful at the same time…
Wow, Janet brought me right back to "those" things I've literally tried avoiding daily.
I had a very bad breakdown last night over previous assaults and something triggered my PTSD. I also had the worst dreams about it. I needed to see this video so much, to remember Im not alone
janet"s facial reactions while Em answering is mesmerising..
this conversation and connection embodies pure love to me, I don't have any other words to say… just, wow
wow this is so beautiful!!!
@theskindeep I was wondering if either of these lovely women have an email or Instagram. I would totally understand if they don't wanna share. This video just really moved me and made me feel seen and heard and my initial feeling was gravitation towards them, as I don't know anyone else who has had similar experiences as mine.
It's heartbreaking to see the pain on Janet's face…sending both of them my prayers and love
Correct ladies its called manifestation. Things that we think and say go straight into the universe (and so it shall be). Be it something positive or negative.
That was beautiful. Such a deep, meaningful, supportive and loving friendship. I want one like that too ☺️
I love you both so much and I appreciate your vulnerability.💚💚💚
Thank you for this articulate, deep, and honest conversation!!!! ❤
Thanks ❤
Both of you radiate love, trust, and vulnerability. It takes a lot of strength to share that, not only with each other but also with the viewers. Thank you Janet & Em!
Innocence is lost by ignoring the voices of the innocent!!
When janet Said there is a huge blockade that inhibits pleasure and joy I felt seen!!!
