This audio is from a recent Substack post - read here. This is an example of a paid post but I made it publicly available as a taster for what you receive for just £5/month. That's healing support for less than the cost of a coffee. This episode walks you through how fear of change can hold us back from moving forward. How meeting the resistance and fear with curiosity instead of dismissal is how we take steps towards the growth we seek:The unknown can feel more dangerous than staying where we are, even if “where we are” is painful. Why? Because it's familiar. And what is familiar feels safe, even if it hurts.This is the paradox so many of us live in:I want to heal…but I'm scared of what that means.I want to take the first step…but I don't know what I need.I want to move forward…but part of me feels frozen.For other supportive healing posts and to subscribe, take a look here at Substack. @survivorsanctuary.Thank you always for taking the time to tell me how helpful you find the podcast - it's what keeps me going with it. It really is a labour of love. If you are interested in knowing more about survivor circles (online and in person - West Sussex RH20), use this form.
Read the full post on Substack here. "Many of us have learned to survive by disconnecting from our emotions, shutting down sensations in our bodies, and keeping our pain locked away in the unconscious corners of our minds. At some point, this numbing may have been necessary. Numbness may keep us safe from pain, but it also keeps us from feeling fully alive. It separates us from the love, joy, and connection we long for. And yet, the idea of “feeling again” can be terrifying—because if we let ourselves feel, what if it's too much? What if we get swallowed whole? What if we can't climb out of the spiral? But over time, that protection can become a prison. It prevents real connection with ourselves and others. I want to tell you this: you are not broken. And you don't have to go from numb to feeling everything all at once. There is a way to gently, safely reconnect with your emotions—without drowning in them. As we step onto the path of healing, we come to realise that true liberation requires us to feel again".Stacie is creating a safe space to share, connect and grow a sense of community on Substack.

In this short story, you will hear why connecting with our inner child is healing - especially if you felt you didn't have your needs met as a child. During the healing process, it is transformative to learn that we can reparent ourselves and witness what the inner child needed. In the Survivor Sanctuary Membership this month, we are exploring Inner Child Connection for our Healing Theme. There is a detailed PDF guide and a guided meditation included.

Healing isn't a straight line. It's a spiral. Sometimes, it's messy, cyclical, and feels like falling apart before we can piece back together.The truth is, healing doesn't look like what the world tells us. It's not about moving on and forgetting. It's about becoming—becoming someone new, someone whole again, through the raw process of transformation.If you've ever felt like your healing doesn't fit into a neat package, like you're doing it “wrong” because you're not “over it,” this space is for you. I believe in the healing that happens when we sit with our pain, our shadows, and embrace the parts of us that have been silenced.This is not about quick fixes or the pressure to be “fixed”. It's about honouring your unique journey, where healing is personal, deep, and unfolds in its own time. At your pace. Read the post on my Substack to explore what this kind of healing looks like and how we can hold space for it together. Subscribe here.

"Today, I want to share with you the moment that changed everything for me. I find that people easily forget the place I once was, that dark place of not knowing what to do with the mess that lived deeply buried within me. In all honesty, it still amazes me today that here I am sharing with the world. That vow that I made to my 12 year old self to never share to another soul, felt so eternal and binding. And yet, the memory of this vow also reminds me that things do change and that there is a world of possibility; we just have to be open to it. There were many moments when I considered drudging up the deeply hidden and heavily locked box that was my trauma. Times when the weight of it felt unbearable, yet fear always held me back. I would edge closer to admitting it to myself, only to shut it down, convincing myself that it wasn't the right time, that I wasn't ready, that maybe I never would be. Maybe it didn't happen as I remembered it anyway."~~~You can read the full post on Substack here that goes with this short story.

A short story about the burden we may carry of shame, blame and guilt after experiencing trauma. "The Lies We InternaliseSelf-blame whispers, It was my fault.Shame hisses, I am broken.Guilt lingers, I should have done something differently.These voices are not ours. They are echoes of a world that fails to hold survivors with the compassion that is deserved. They are the messages we absorbed from silence, from misunderstanding, from the weight of trauma itself. And the most painful part? When we don't know where else to place the hurt, we turn it inward.I did".You can read the full post on Substack here that was written to accompany this short story.

A short story about Stacie's journey to suppression of trauma, to not believing healing was possible to now. "There was a time in my life when I felt completely lost. Trapped on a relentless hamster wheel of self-loathing, shame, and blame, I questioned whether freedom from my past was even possible. I spent years disconnected from myself, carrying the weight of my trauma, and believing that the answers lay somewhere outside of me".

Welcome to a new series where Stacie will be sharing short 'stories'. She is taking a short break from guest recording and wants to share something different for a little while. They will be short episodes but she hopes to share the power of storytelling. In this introduction, Stacie explains the power and benefit of storytelling both as a therapeutic practice and as creative self-expression. As she shares the stories with you, she invites you to open yourself to the power of storytelling—not just as something to listen to, but as something to feel. Notice how stories land in your body. Notice what emotions they stir. And if you feel called, explore your own self-expression. Whether through writing, speaking, art, or simply reflecting on the stories you carry within you.Stacie is creating a safe space to share, connect and grow a sense of community on Substack.

On today's episode, Stacie talks about what she calls ‘the toxic trio' of blame, shame and guilt. Sexual trauma is a profoundly distressing experience that leaves deep emotional scars. Survivors often grapple with a range of complex feelings, and among the most common are blame, shame, and guilt. To understand these feelings and how to overcome them, we need to delve into the psychology behind them. This is an overview of these but by no means an exhaustive list. Not all survivors will experience all three and may experience them differently. Stacie shares her experience of blame, shame and guilt and how they can develop. More importantly the ways these emotions can be processed and how the internalised beliefs are a result can be challenged.

In this Survivor Story episode, Stacie has the honour of speaking with Kath from Ireland giving a different sexual trauma experience that we haven't heard on the podcast before - stranger violence/assault in adulthood. Many of the experiences shared so far have been in childhood and so Kath and her story gives a voice to those who have experienced sexual assault in adulthood. We honour those victims who have lost their lives during violent sexual attacks - those that didn't survive. We hold them in our hearts during this episode. No specific details are given about the incident in this episode, the focus is about raising awareness of the isolation survivors of this type of abuse experience. Kath, although remains anonymous, wishes to offer to be a point of contact if there are any other survivors who have experienced a similar type of trauma and want to be connected to share the healing journey. You can contact Stacie who can then put you in touch with Kath. Thank you Kath for sharing your much needed voice and experience. As always, take care whilst listening - look after yourself first.

*Take extra care when listening to this episode* In this guest episode, Stacie and Louise take on the very sensitive topic of navigating sex after sexual trauma. They vulnerably share their own personal journey's which coincidentally have similar themes. Sexual intimacy and relationships can be extremely difficult to navigate when often survivor's are still in the trauma response. As aways, there are many potential varying experiences however, the hope in sharing this conversation is that it is a safe space to reflect upon your own experience and recognise what you need to heal after sexual trauma. We give you permission to be exactly where you are and encourage you to question unserving beliefs you may have about yourself and your sexuality; trauma often has a way of creating limiting beliefs and behaviours.

Stacie chats with her sister Katherine on this very topical subject of whether to report (or not report) abuse to police to seek justice. This episode is based upon both their experiences of going through the UK justice system. Experiences will vary depending upon the laws of the justice system of a specific country. We caveat this episode that the decision to/or not to report is a very individual one and we do not advocate/advise for or against - there are arguments for both sides of the case (no pun intended) and this is what we discuss in this episode. This episode is to give a real insight into the lived experience but mainly to give you permission to do what feels right for you.

In this episode, Stacie talks about this very important topic of nervous system safety, how to bring the nervous system back into it's baseline (parasympathetic) state and the importance of safety and trust when healing after sexual trauma. Feeling unsafe in our bodies and minds is what triggers the trauma/stress response and a big part of the healing journey is regaining a sense of safety and trust again. This episode contains some ideas/tools to help such as mindful breathing, subconscious processing (therapy), journaling and daily 'tune ins' to bring awareness to what you need to feel safe.

In this guest episode, Stacie is honoured to have the lovely Dr Kathryn Gutteridge back on the podcast. Kathryn is a very experienced consultant midwife, psychotherapist and is a survivor of sexual abuse herself. As two midwives and survivors, they chat about having children from the perspective of being a survivor of sexual trauma and how healthcare providers could better support survivors in this very important life event. Stacie and Kathryn share both their personal and professional experience - this episode was recorded when Stacie herself was pregnant for the first time. Kathryn has spent her career in service to improving healthcare for survivors including collaboration on many written works such as this online resource: 'Pregnancy, Birth and Parenthood after Childhood Sexual Abuse'.

In this episode, Stacie shares her experience of the healing cycle. She shares she is continually going through the process of healing and has broken it down into phases. These phases aren't linear but it's just to illustrate how the process is ongoing and de-layering the onion of trauma. It isn't linear of step 1 leads to step 2 etc. Sometimes we stay at a step longer than the others and sometimes we come back to a particular step several times before we're able to move forward. Healing isn't a logical experience - it is a lived and embodied process and unique for each person. Stacie would love to hear if you resonate with this or if not, reflect upon your own and share these with her. Stacie has written a blog post for those who like to see this sort of info in a visual format here: http://www.stacie-glass.com/feed/phases-of-healing.

In this episode, Stacie is delighted to have a conversation about journalling and the therapeutic benefits as a practice with Sasha Glasgow @FrankandFeel (Instagram) www.frankandfeel.com. Sasha used to class herself as a writer, doubter and doer. More recently though, the only label she's interested in holding onto is ‘woman figuring it out.' She speaks from her heart and writes from her road as she lives it, becoming ever-less afraid of not knowing (or pretending that she does). Sasha is a freelance writer, journalling guide and podcaster under the brand, Frank+Feel. She sees her life as one made up of words, using them to inspire and be inspired. To express, process and connect, and makes space for others to do the same through the journalling spaces she holds. Stacie has used journalling as a healing tool throughout her healing journey and was happy to have Sasha on the podcast to share the benefits and wonders of this practice. Thank you Sasha for your time and your beautiful way with words. Stacie highly recommends you seek out Sasha's Substack 'A life of words' and her journalling sessions.

In this solo episode, Stacie answers a listener question of what her healing looks like now, 12 years on from starting 'conscious' healing. Stacie talks about how her healing is ongoing - it isn't a once and done thing; it is a continual cycle.

In the first episode of season 2, Stacie responds to a listener question on the theme of relationships with abusers. Thank you to the Finnish listener who sent a voice note - it was so lovely to hear a human voice of a listener. You can send voice notes through some podcast platforms. Relationships with abusers adds another complexity to abuse because it often brings huge guilt and shame around perceived complicity. Most often, survivors do not recognise abuse because they feel they have consensually been part of the relationship but this in itself does not mean you agreed to sexual assault/abuse - regardless of age. Each person's experience is unique and valid - Stacie shares her own experience and scenarios from other survivors within this episode. There is an important distinction between consenting to being in a relationship and abuse of trust and power.

In today's episode, Stacie talks about honouring our grief. Yes, grief for what you lost as a result of your experience(s). Grief that you had so much taken away from you against your will. Grief is not often spoken about in relation to sexual trauma but it is real and it is heavy if left unprocessed. Grief is the word that encapsulates all the emotions that Stacie felt during the early stages of healing. She talks about her own experience and the tools that have helped her process it. This is still in progress and that's okay. Included in this episode are journal prompts and suggestions to invite you to explore your own grief.

In this episode, Stacie is joined by the joyful Hanna Francis who is a singer and songwriter to share the healing power of music. This podcast is all about empowering you with tools to help you along your healing journey and where you want to be so this episode is perfect for how music can (and probably is) helping you. This episode is an uplifting one, giving us a break from the heavy stuff that is healing after trauma - a reminder that it is necessary to give ourselves a break from feeling it all, all of the time. Hanna Francis is a singer-songwriter and Balkan folk-dance teacher who is obsessed with self-help and believes you can be a little happier right now with the intentional use of music (both experiencing and creating).

Part of the healing journey is acknowledging what is present - giving it space to be seen, heard and felt.
