I felt like if I would’ve shared that with anybody, that I would have been able to have a more normal life and not really have to struggle through my trauma," said Dr. Guyton.“That is why I do what I do, it is trying to give a voice, for everyone," Michelle added.Hush no more has events throughout the year, a virtual personal safety and empowered self-defense seminar for survivors, will be offered October 27th from 4-5 pm.</div></body>
