People Make Sense.

Hi, I’m Abigail Gunn — licensed therapist, writer, and survivor of childhood sexual abuse.

Survival is not shameful. It’s adaptation.
Dissociation isn’t dysfunction — it’s a powerful evolutionary tool: the mind protecting what the world refused to.

Trauma becomes intelligence.
Survival becomes strategy.

My work is to uncover the reality for survivors: you are not broken — you are normal.
It is the harm, the oppression, the system itself that is disordered.

I help survivors believe their own experience.
They are what survived the impossible.

And I educate institutions to recognize and diagnose harm — not survivors — so they can stop it before it destroys lives.

This is how we end the epidemic of childhood sexual abuse:
not by pathologizing survival, but by dismantling the dynamics that demand it.
