CNN —Weeks after being taken hostage by captors from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, American climber Beth Rodden was back home – but plagued by nightmares of her ordeal.
On their return to the US, Rodden was baffled to find that people within the climbing community were inclined to “celebrate” their ordeal.
And obviously, this was a harrowing tale,” Rodden tells CNN Sport 24 years on from the incident.
Rodden struggled with insomnia and nightmares, and although she went to a few therapy sessions she says she didn’t really open up.
People that are postmenopausal that are older, younger – I feel like it’s just becoming a more inclusive, well-rounded community,” she added.
