Incredible in more ways than one.. This should have never of happened and shame on all of them people who knew it was within each and every establishment mentioned. Alexis has used the same strength to achieve being a national athlete, graduate, and become a mother, as she has opening this horror she went through up to the world to see. Thank you Alexis for being so brave in every which way, and I know you would of helped so many without even knowing it ❤️
Shocking

Alexis’s treatment after admission to hospital was utterly terrible, but it is extraordinary that it took so long to diagnose her. Before the end of episode 1, despite having no medical training whatsoever, I was convinced she was autistic.
Needs to be heard!

What Alexis went through is mind blowing. Exposing this has to be done and she is incredibly brave for doing so. Great research and compelling listen. Happy living Alexis x

Thank you for bringing this awful and incredible experience to this podcast for people to hear. I wholeheartedly admire what Alexis has achieved in such a harrowing and long-lasting traumatic situation. Her openness and honesty that she has shared and the tragedy that it is not an isolated incident has led to some positive changes and I sincerely hope these changes continue and this never happens to another human again.
