The Girl in the Background?

Apr 17, 2022

Emily Eyerman never felt important back in her high school days (2002-2006). She had a complicated life at home, so she got used to hiding in the background to protect herself. Ironically she always craved to be seen, which led her to some pretty risky behavior as a teen. Emily is a therapist today, and her ability to self-reflect and open up with me is what makes this particular conversation so special and meaningful to everyone listening.
