What happens when your world is violated and you no longer feel safe in your own life? When your places of creativity, your physical environments, and your personal boundaries are infringed over and over again by one person? For photographer Acacia Diana, this relentless stalking continued for eight years before reaching its end in the courts. But the impact on her mental health cannot be measured in years, or in legal judgements. On this episode of Because Feelings Matter, Acacia talks about how she’s painstakingly fought her way from being a victim to becoming a survivor.
