Today, I'm very excited to have back on the podcast, *Adena Bank Lees.* *Adena is an internationally recognized authority on trauma related to childhood sexual abuse, in particular* *Covert Emotional Incest* ( https://adenabanklees.com/covert-emotional-incest/ ) (CEI) and her mission is to bring CEI out of the shadows and shine light on the process of identifying and healing from it. In her book, *Covert Emotional Incest: The Hidden Sexual Abuse* ( https://www.amazon.com/Covert-Emotional-Incest-Hidden-Healing/dp/1983999105?tag=wescoatrapro-20 ) , Adena details the complex nature of CEI, its damaging consequences, and the path to restoration of health and well-being.
