It's about what happens when someone is given the space to tell their truth—and someone is finally there to listen.For anyone who has ever questioned their own story or carried pain in silence, this episode is a reminder that being heard can be powerful—and your story matters.Episode Highlights:(00:02) Lyndsay opens up about lying, truth and self-protection(03:17) Introducing David Goldberg(04:19) What a polygraph actually is and how it works(06:04) How your body reveals the truth(07:27) What happens if you're nervous during a polygraph(08:09) How examiners reduce anxiety before testing(09:45) Who polygraphs are really for(16:00) Polygraphs for sexual assault survivors and victims(22:00) False accusations and how polygraphs protect the innocent(27:00) How polygraph results hold up legally(35:42) Advice for anyone who has been dismissed or not believed(36:05) What a professional examiner's job really is(37:45) Polygraphs for people in abusive relationships(38:28) How to find David and closing thoughtsFind David Goldberg Online Here:Website: www.executiveprotectiongrp.comInstagram: @thedavidgoldberg Facebook: Executive Protection Group Polygraph Service YouTube: @the_davidgoldbergPodcast: Inside The Polygraph with David GoldbergFind Giving Pain Purpose Online Here:Website: givingpainpurpose.comInstagram: @givingpainpurposeFacebook: The Giving Pain Purpose PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: @givingpainpurposeShop: thegivingpainpurposeshop.comSubscribe on YouTube | Merch Shop is OPEN!! | COMING SOON: The Pain Hub - A Women's Healing Community.

Army Vet's Trauma Recovery and Message: He Speaks About PTSD, Sexual Assault, Faith, and Life. Military trauma does not always begin on a battlefield. For retired Army veteran Dr. PJ, known to many as Pastor Jeff, the wounds that changed his life came from a sexual assault committed by someone who outranked him during his military career. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. The experience left injuries that could not be seen. Combined with other difficulties from his military service and personal life, the assault contributed to years of emotional pain and an eventual diagnosis of PTSD. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio His story, however, is not only about what happened to him. It is about what he did afterward. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Jeff Moffett, also known as Dr. PJ and Pastor Jeff, is a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The host originally connected with him through the Clubhouse social-audio app, where Pastor Jeff's compassionate voice and message of gratitude stood out. Today, this Army vet's trauma recovery and message reaches people struggling with grief, abuse, PTSD, isolation, relationships, and some of life's most difficult questions. He speaks because he knows silence can become another prison. A Different Kind of Military Trauma When people hear that a veteran has been diagnosed with PTSD, they often assume it resulted from combat, explosions, firefights, or the constant threat of death in a war zone. Army Vet's Trauma Recovery and Message: He Speaks About PTSD, Sexual Assault, Faith, and Life. Military trauma does not always begin on a battlefield. That was not the primary source of Pastor Jeff's trauma. He was sexually assaulted during his military career by someone who held a higher rank. The imbalance of authority added another layer to the pain. It was not simply an act of violence; it was also a devastating betrayal within an institution built on trust, discipline, leadership, and accountability. Military sexual trauma can affect every part of a survivor's life. It may influence personal relationships, professional confidence, faith, emotional stability, and the ability to trust other people. Survivors may wrestle with shame, anger, anxiety, depression, nightmares, or the belief that they should have somehow prevented what happened. For Pastor Jeff, the assault combined with other experiences from his life and military service, eventually creating problems that could no longer be ignored. He had been hurt, but he refused to allow the person who assaulted him to control the rest of his life. His journey would take him “from trauma to triumph, from broken to builder, and from abused to affirming others.” The PTSD Diagnosis PTSD can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a terrifying, violent, or deeply distressing event. Although the condition is frequently associated with combat veterans, it can also result from sexual assault, domestic violence, serious accidents, childhood abuse, violent crime, or other traumatic experiences. The symptoms can affect both the mind and body. A person may experience intrusive memories, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, sleep disturbances, anger, avoidance, or an overwhelming sense of danger. Army Vet's Trauma Recovery and Message: He Speaks About PTSD, Sexual Assault, Faith, and Life. Military trauma does not always begin on a battlefield. Pastor Jeff's diagnosis helped give a name to struggles that had already been affecting his life. A diagnosis, however, did not instantly erase the pain. Trauma recovery required honesty, faith, reflection, support, and the willingness to face what had happened. His story demonstrates that seeking help is not an admission of weakness. For a veteran accustomed to discipline, strength, and service, acknowledging emotional wounds can require tremendous courage. Pastor Jeff began learning how to live beyond the assault without pretending that it had never happened. He found relief and developed practices that continue to help him today. His healing became the foundation of his work with others. Pastor Jeff believes that “healing prepares the heart.” That conviction is central to his ministry, speaking career, grief consulting, relationship work, and personal life. Before a title, a platform, or public recognition can have meaning, a person must examine what remains unsettled within. The work begins with what someone has made peace with, and what still needs attention. Healing does not necessarily mean forgetting. It does not require a survivor to minimize the offense, excuse the offender, or deny the damage. Instead, it may mean reaching a place where the trauma no longer controls every decision, relationship, or expectation. Army Vet's Trauma Recovery and Message: He Speaks About PTSD, Sexual Assault, Faith, and Life. Military trauma does not always begin on a battlefield. Pastor Jeff speaks from the ground on which he has personally stood. His message is not based solely on academic theories or motivational slogans. It comes from experiencing abuse, living with PTSD, confronting grief, and rebuilding a meaningful life. He knows what it means to feel broken. He also knows what it means to become a builder. From Victim Mindset to Victor Mindset One of the most important parts of Pastor Jeff's message is the movement from a victim mindset to a victor mindset. That does not mean denying that someone was victimized. He was sexually assaulted, and the responsibility belongs to the person who committed the assault. Recognizing the truth is essential. The transformation occurs when the survivor decides that victimization will not become a permanent identity. Pastor Jeff helps people recognize their pain without surrendering their future to it. His approach encourages survivors to reclaim their voice, purpose, dignity, and ability to choose what happens next. His message is not that recovery is easy. It is that recovery is possible. He challenges people to look beyond what was done to them and ask what they can build from the life that remains. That transition, from victim to victor, is not a single event. It may involve counseling, prayer, medical care, spiritual guidance, supportive relationships, difficult conversations, and daily decisions. Progress may be uneven, but every step can move a survivor closer to freedom. Pastor Jeff's work also focuses heavily on grief. “Grief isolates us, but gratitude reconnects us,” he says. Grief can make people feel separated from the rest of the world. Friends and family may not understand the depth of the loss. Some people avoid conversations because they do not know what to say. Others offer quick solutions to pain that cannot be quickly repaired. Grief does not only follow a death. People may grieve the loss of safety, trust, health, identity, career, marriage, friendship, faith, or the life they believed they would have. A survivor of sexual assault may grieve the person they were before the assault. A veteran may grieve the end of military service or the loss of the trust once placed in a leader. Someone living with PTSD may grieve the sense of peace they once took for granted. Army Vet's Trauma Recovery and Message: He Speaks About PTSD, Sexual Assault, Faith, and Life. Military trauma does not always begin on a battlefield. Pastor Jeff teaches that gratitude can become a bridge back to connection. Gratitude does not erase grief or turn tragedy into something good. It helps people recognize that pain is not the only thing still present in their lives. Love, purpose, faith, relationships, opportunities, and acts of kindness may still exist alongside sorrow. This perspective is at the heart of his book, Embracing Gratitude in Grief: A Transformative Perspective. An Army Veteran, Pastor, and International Speaker Pastor Jeff's work has taken him far beyond a single pulpit. He is an international inspirational speaker and grief consultant who has addressed audiences across the United States and in Honduras, Haiti, Germany, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Africa. In Haiti, his service took shape through “Church with No Walls,” reflecting his belief that ministry does not have to be confined to a building. He has trained and mentored more than 100 ministers around the world. He also formerly served as pastor of Historic Hosannah Missionary Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia. His professional life reflects an unusual range of experience. In addition to his ministry and speaking, he is a marriage and relationship facilitator, real estate investor, videographer, and consultant. Each role gives him another way to connect with people and help them see possibilities beyond their present pain. As a retired Army veteran and recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, Pastor Jeff has been recognized for a life of service. Yet the titles and honors are not the center of his story. The deeper story is how a man who experienced abuse learned to affirm others. His Books Carry the Message Forward Pastor Jeff is also the author of several books that explore grief, gratitude, faith, war, prayer, and personal reflection. His works include: Embracing Gratitude in Grief: A Transformative Perspective Conversations with God from the War in Afghanistan, a 31-day devotional Each book offers another window into his experiences and beliefs. The devotional born from the war in Afghanistan reflects the private spiritual conversations that can occur when a person faces uncertainty, danger, isolation, and questions without easy answers. The companion journal invites readers to examine their own experiences and conversations with God. For readers facing grief or PTSD, his writing provides something more than information. It offers companionship from someone who understands that healing rarely follows a straight line. Faith, Prayer, and the Work of Recovery Faith has played a vital role in Pastor Jeff's life, but he does not present prayer as a way to avoid the difficult work of recovery. To pray can be part of confronting pain rather than hiding from it. For many survivors, spiritual questions become part of the trauma. They may wonder why the assault happened, where God was at the time, or why the emotional consequences continue years later. Pastor Jeff's message leaves room for those questions. His life demonstrates that faith and professional help do not have to compete with each other. Prayer, therapy, medical treatment, community support, honest conversation, and personal responsibility can work together. Army Vet's Trauma Recovery and Message: He Speaks About PTSD, Sexual Assault, Faith, and Life. Military trauma does not always begin on a battlefield. Recovery may require survivors to use every healthy resource available. Pastor Jeff encourages people to speak, seek support, and stop treating emotional pain as a private failure. His willingness to discuss military sexual assault also helps challenge the silence that has historically surrounded the issue. He Speaks So Others Can Find Their Voice There is power in a survivor telling the truth. Every time Pastor Jeff speaks about what happened, he may reach another veteran who has never told anyone. His words may connect with a man who believes sexual assault is something he must endure silently. They may help a woman who fears she will not be believed or a family struggling to understand why someone they love has changed. His story also carries an important message for military leaders: rank must never become a shield for abuse. Survivors need to know that the assault was not their fault, that PTSD is not a character defect, and that seeking help does not diminish their service. By speaking openly, Pastor Jeff transforms a deeply painful part of his life into a source of hope for others. Sharing His Message Across Every Platform Pastor Jeff's complete interview can be heard on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The episode is available through the show's website and across major digital and social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartradio and more. These platforms allow his message to reach people wherever they are, at home, in a car, at work, or searching late at night for proof that someone understands. The Podcast gives Pastor Jeff the space to discuss his military career, sexual assault, PTSD diagnosis, struggles, recovery, faith, books, and the work he continues to do today. His story is difficult, but it is not without hope. A Life That Became Larger Than the Trauma Pastor Jeff cannot change what was done to him. He can, however, determine what he does with the life that followed. He became an author, pastor, mentor, international speaker, grief consultant, relationship facilitator, investor, videographer, and advocate for people searching for healing. He turned private pain into a public mission, not because the trauma was good, but because his future still had value. Army Vet's Trauma Recovery and Message: He Speaks About PTSD, Sexual Assault, Faith, and Life. Military trauma does not always begin on a battlefield. That may be the most important part of this Army vet's trauma recovery and message. He speaks because silence protects pain. He writes because someone may discover hope inside a Book. He helps people pray because faith can provide strength when answers remain out of reach. He discusses PTSD because veterans and other survivors should not have to struggle alone. He talks about gratitude because grief can isolate even the strongest person. Most of all, Pastor Jeff reminds people that what happened to them does not have to be the final definition of their Life. His journey continues, from trauma to triumph, from broken to builder, and from abused to affirming others. For anyone living with the aftermath of assault, grief, or PTSD, his message is clear: Healing is possible. A voice can be reclaimed. A life can be rebuilt. And even after profound pain, a person can still become a source of hope for someone else.

A state lawmaker shared her harrowing account of an alleged sexual assault during a Lyft ride. Her personal experience inspired legislation in 2025 to further regulate ride-hailing companies like Lyft and Uber in the state. Other survivors came to the State Capitol to share their stories and support the legislation. That bill did not become law after the governor's veto. But lawmakers tried again the following year, and parts of the pared-down version take effect this month.Uber has publicly said the vast majority, 99.9%, of its rides happen without incident. But when taking scale into account, and how many rides occur each day, that fraction of a percent can add up. Emily Steel, an investigative reporter for the business desk of The New York Times, has covered this issue extensively.

In October 2019, 23-year-old Sarah Rosenberg went on a date at Sydney’s noodle markets with a man she had recently met on a dating app. But when they returned to his place and Sarah explained that she was feeling unwell and didn’t want to be intimate, the night turned into a horrific nightmare. What followed was a grueling journey through a legal system that often felt like it was putting Sarah on trial rather than the man accused. From having her private medical and therapy records subpoenaed to enduring four and a half days of brutal cross-examination without her own lawyer, Sarah experienced firsthand how deeply the justice system can disempower survivors of sexual violence. In this episode of True Crime Conversations, Sarah Rosenberg joins Gemma Bath to share her story, expose the hidden realities of reporting sexual assault in Australia, and discuss how her experience led her to found With You We Can, a registered charity and legal education platform designed to support victims navigating the process. Together, they examine the urgent need for structural reform, the push for independent legal representation for victim-survivors, protecting confidential counselling records, and how to restore agency to those seeking justice.

Several of my recent guests have described sexual assault that occurred within an intimate relationship and was accomplished through coercion rather than immediately recognizable physical force. Some of the responses I received to those conversations made me realize how deeply misunderstood this form of sexual violence remains. In this episode, I draw upon my experience as a former detective and longtime trainer of sexual assault investigators to examine what coercion actually looks like and why the absence of visible force should never be mistaken for the presence of consent. Coercion rarely exists within the boundaries of one isolated sexual encounter. Its meaning may be found in the history of the relationship, where previous threats, intimidation, retaliation, financial control, or violence have already established what refusing will cost. Once an offender has created that environment, very little may need to be said in the moment. A gesture, a change in tone, or a few seemingly ordinary words can carry a meaning that is unmistakable to the person who has learned what comes next. I also explore the neuroscience behind coercive abuse, including the brain's ability to recognize patterns of danger, the effects of chronic stress on the nervous system, and the ways trauma can influence attention, memory, perception, and decision making. This understanding is especially important for investigators and other professionals who may otherwise misinterpret delayed disclosure, fragmented memory, continued contact with the offender, or the absence of physical resistance. Coercive sexual assault cannot be understood by examining the victim's response while ignoring the conditions the offender deliberately created. The central issue is not whether a victim resisted visibly or forcefully enough. It is whether fear, intimidation, threats, or an established pattern of coercion deprived that person of the freedom required to make a genuine sexual choice. An intimate relationship does not diminish that violation. It makes the betrayal more intimate.

The girl he raped was 15 at the time. During the trial, the dress she wore was produced in court, and she was asked if she was wearing underwear at the time.

Less than 10% of reported sexual assaults result in a conviction in Australia. So, what does it actually take to bring a rapist to justice? In part 2 of former police officer and survivor Caroline Clarke’s chat with Gary Jubelin, we find out exactly that. In this episode, Caroline details the aftermath of being sexually assaulted by a massage therapist - from the agonising decision to report, to becoming an active force in her case recording a confession that police called "the best they’d ever heard". Caroline also unpacks one of the most misunderstood reactions in trauma - the freeze response, a survival mechanism hardwired into all of us. Yet it still continues to be used against survivors in courtrooms, in conversations, and in their own heads. Caroline breaks down why it happens, how it works, and why the shame so many survivors carry about it is not only unfair, it's wrong. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

Caroline Clarke spent nearly a decade as a police officer on the rough streets of West Yorkshire chasing down criminals, working the drugs squad, and stepping into homes torn apart by domestic violence. But nothing in her training prepared her for what happened when she became a victim-survivor herself. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Caroline opens up about growing up in a home where love and violence lived side by side, the silence she inherited from her mother, and the sexual assault that left her questioning why her body froze when she thought she would fight. Caroline breaks down the freeze response, a trauma reaction still misunderstood by police, juries, and the public, and explains why survivors are so often blamed instead of believed. Caroline is now the founder of the No More Silence movement, dedicated to helping survivors break their silence and shift the shame back to where it belongs. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

When a powerful man says, “She's not my type,” and a jury (actually, multiple juries) finds that man liable for sexual abuse and defamation, that's not just a headline — that's a masterclass in what it takes for a woman to be believed in America. In this episode, writer, journalist, and Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President author E. Jean Carroll joins Nicole to talk about truth, power, paperclips, and what actually happens when you drag a president into court and win. Twice. We talk about the facts, the stories we build around those facts, and why so many people will twist themselves into a pretzel to excuse powerful men while shredding women who speak up. We get into: What actually happened in court — beyond the headlines, hot takes, and Twitter warriors How clothes became her armor and why what she wore in court mattered more than you'd think The “not my type” moment, the infamous deposition photo, and how Trump accidentally proved his own lie Why her sexual history was dragged into the trial — and how she took back that narrative with joy Trauma responses, laughter in the dressing room, and why “if you didn't scream it doesn't count” is garbage How mock juries forced her legal team to reckon with ageism, beauty standards, and who we think is “believable” What she plans to do with the tens of millions awarded in damages — and why giving it away is part of her resistance strategy The big questions this case raises: What does a woman have to do to be believed? And what does a powerful man have to do to be held accountable?  Because this isn't just E. Jean Carroll's story. It's a mirror held up to how we treat women, power, and truth — and a reminder that one 80-something woman can still change the story for all of us. Thank you to our sponsors!

Adam and Dr. Drew debate what has been more detrimental to society: climate change or racism. They also discuss how the news can lead people to believe things that are not remotely true, before Adam introduces Dr. Drew to a new word. Later, Adam reflects on how the idea of being alone used to give him anxiety when he was younger, while now he genuinely enjoys his alone time. The guys also talk about how people used to experience boredom much more often than they do today, making it more important to find productive things to do, and Adam closes by recounting the long journey of apartment hopping he went through in the decade before starting Loveline with Dr. Drew.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam and Dr. Drew open the episode by discussing the Graham Platner controversy and reacting to a clip of two reporters weighing in on the situation. Adam and Dr. Drew break down why they think the reporters are getting it wrong before shifting gears into one of Adam's classic everyday frustrations: people who refuse to rinse their dirty dishes in the sink. Adam rants about the type of person who leaves food-crusted dishes behind and then explains to Dr. Drew a certain arrangement between men and women that has never quite made sense to him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's Headlines: The US lost to Belgium 4-1 in the World Cup Round of 16 despite Trump personally calling FIFA to get Balogun's red card suspension reversed, which worked, and Belgium won anyway — so the meddling was both successful and pointless. On the election beat, Graham Platner, who won Maine's Democratic Senate primary a few weeks ago despite a Nazi tattoo is now facing a heavily corroborated sexual assault allegation so severe that nearly every major backer including Hasan Piker and Ro Khanna immediately called for him to drop out — Democrats have until July 27th to find a replacement if he exits by July 13th, which they should probably get moving on since Maine is a must-win Senate seat. In other news, Trump is headed to the NATO summit in Turkey this week, which he only agreed to attend because it's hosted by Erdogan, one of his last real NATO allies, with Netanyahu already lobbying him ahead of arrival to rein in Erdogan's anti-Israel rhetoric. Trump also rang the stock market opening bell from the Oval Office to celebrate the launch of Trump Savings Accounts, which devolved into rants about crypto, Biden, and World Cup red cards, and the preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson — the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk last September — began yesterday in Utah, with Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's parents, Donald Trump Jr., and Jack Posobiec all in the courtroom. Meanwhile, the DOJ accidentally sent the sealed second volume of Jack Smith's classified documents report — the one Trump has spent over a year keeping hidden — to the defense lawyers of the former prosecutor currently being prosecuted for leaking that exact report, and the only reason it's still secret is because her lawyers were more careful with it than the government was. On AI, Meta's AI safety strategy involves paying adults to pretend to be teenagers and feed suicide and sex prompts to competitor chatbots, which they describe as "comprehensive AI safety benchmarking," and OpenAI is reportedly offering the US government a 5% stake in the company. Finally, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral drew over a million people this week while his son and successor Mojtaba — wounded in the airstrike that killed his father — didn't attend any of the ceremonies. It's giving Mitch energy.
