Ep 04: Sex & Date Rape, Anxiety with Julia Richardson
Manage episode 312535140 series 3237311
Julia Richardson is a 34-year-old cis-female (she/her pronouns) living in Taiwan. She is the lead singer of the Latin band, Café Con Pan. Julia is also a university professor, teaching English as a Foreign Language. It makes sense Julia is now a teacher. When she was in school herself, school had always been a safe place for Julia, a place where she can escape her trauma and distract herself from other hardships.
Content Warning: this episode describes details of rape and the legal process afterward. There is also content related to emotional abuse, sexualization in childhood, and dating someone with a meth addiction. If you opt in to listen, please take care of yourself. Take deep breaths, take breaks, choose to end listening if you need to.
When Julia was 20, she went on a date with a man who was working on the construction site next to her job. On her date, he drugged her drink, took her to a motel room just outside of the city, raped her and abandoned her there in the middle of the night. It was after this event that severe anxiety began to set in.
