Podcasts about Sexual abuse

Voice Of GO(r)D is very happy to bring you a conversation with Tamie Sue Stuttle of the advocacy organization Real Women in Trucking, where we discuss many of the usual problems facing truckers, and one in particular that is of import to Lady Truckers.Due to the intransigence of certain of the biggest trucking companies in the country, and their reliance on a wicked and evil training model, a study examining Sexual Abuse and Sexual Harassment in the industry was recently cancelled.As reported on by John Gallagher at FreightWaves not two weeks ago -The Trump administration has canceled a study aimed at addressing sexual harassment and rape in the trucking industry, according to one of the study's developers.“We all put a lot of time and attention into this, and just got an email yesterday telling us not to do any more work, that we've been cancelled,” Anne Balay, a member of the working group overseeing the project, told FreightWaves.“Everyone knows rape and sexual harassment are incredibly common in this industry, and this was an attempt to do an actual study that would have led to suggestions on how to address it and make the industry safer. But it was canceled not to save money – the money had already been spent – but to prevent the results from getting out to the public, ensuring now nothing gets done to change the industry and make it safer for women.”A screenshot of a notice from the administration states that the decision to terminate the study “is because the government's priorities have shifted and this project no longer meets our needs.”As Tamie and I discuss the cancellation, it appears that it is not the governments needs they are concerned with, but those of the members of the American Trucking Association, whose ‘Team Training' programs would be exposed to the scrutiny they need by this study, and possibly bring this stupid training method, and all of the sexual abuse it leads to for women, into the public eye. And, perhaps, result in it being made illegal - which is the correct action, to our minds.Tamie and I also discuss various other issues relevant to woman behind the wheel, and every other trucker out on the road, including a recent study from the ATA's research arm which suggests that more felons be recruited into trucking. What about those convicted of sexual crimes who would now be a problem for women truckers?You can find Tamie on Twitter - https://x.com/tamiesue2Tamie's own podcast - https://truckinwithtamie.com/The canceled SASH study at FMCSA - https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/research-and-analysis/cmv-driver-sexual-assault-and-sexual-harassment-sashhttps://www.realwomenintrucking.org/Driver Documentary FilmPetition to re-instate the SASH Study -https://www.change.org/p/reinstate-the-fmcsa-study-on-sexual-assault-and-harassment-in-truckingThe disgusting White Paper from ATRI encouraging the recruitment of dangerous ex-cons and Foster Children into trucking -https://truckingresearch.org/2025/07/new-atri-research-highlights-evolving-truck-driver-demographics/Questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are always welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

And if we want true healing for all daughters, we have to talk about the truths most people can't hold.In this powerful two-part episode, This week we talk to a daughter who has survived covert sexual trauma from her mother.

In this powerful and practical conversation from our Spring Summit, we welcome Rosalia Rivera—consent educator, sexual literacy advocate, and founder of Consent Parenting. Together, we explore one of the most critical yet often overlooked areas of parenting: body safety, consent, and preventing childhood sexual abuse.Rosalia equips parents with tools to protect their children through knowledge, confidence, and open communication. You'll learn:✅ Why prevention matters: the reality of childhood sexual abuse, why “not my kid” thinking is dangerous, and how most abuse happens in trusted spaces.✅ How to start early: age-appropriate ways to teach body autonomy, correct anatomical language, and the power of saying “no.”✅ Boundaries and consent basics: practical strategies for teaching kids to set and respect limits, plus how to use stop rules and safe words.✅ The truth about secrecy: teaching the difference between secrets, surprises, and privacy to break the grooming cycle.✅ Warning signs & prevention plans: behavioral red flags to watch for and how to build a family “safety team” with caregivers, relatives, and teachers.Rosalia emphasizes that prevention is not about fear—it's about empowerment. By teaching children body autonomy, fostering shame-free conversations, and building clear safety policies, parents can dramatically reduce risks and give their children the confidence to protect themselves.To learn more about Rosalia's work visit: https://www.consentparenting.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Unmasking Shame, Myths, and Healing for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse: An Interview with Jeremy Sachs Curt and Katie chat with Jeremy Sachs, integrated therapist and Narrative Exposure Therapist, about supporting male survivors of sexual abuse. We explore harmful myths and stereotypes, the developmental impacts of sexual trauma, and the systemic and cultural barriers that make healing harder. Jeremy shares therapeutic approaches for early disclosure, building safety, and integrating trauma-specific interventions like Narrative Exposure Therapy, as well as the role of transformative justice in recovery. About Our Guest:Jeremy Sachs is an integrated therapist and Narrative Exposure Therapist from London, UK, now based in Glasgow, Scotland. Since the 2010s, he has run services that support individuals living with trauma or marginalisation, helping them to connect and find community. In 2016, he focused on developing therapy services for men, boys, and trans people who have survived sexual abuse and rape. He runs recovery groups and a private practice both online and in-person. Key Takeaways for Therapists: Myths like “men always want sex” or “they must have enjoyed it” are harmful and based on misunderstandings. Sexual abuse rarely occurs in isolation—context and systemic oppression matter. Containment and safety should precede trauma-specific work. Narrative Exposure Therapy can help integrate fragmented memories. Transformative justice offers community-based alternatives to the criminal justice system.

How abused UK Minister's wife fought the system and won! (Part 1) The Black Spy Podcast 209, Season 21, Episode 0010 This week and next, the Black Spy Podcast takes on one of the most troubling and complex intersections of politics, justice, media, and personal trauma. Host Carlton King is joined by journalist and publicist Firgas Esack, who brings both professional insight and lived experience as a survivor of domestic abuse, to dissect the extraordinary and disturbing case of former Conservative government minister Andrew Griffith and his ex-wife, Kate Griffith. The discussion begins with the deeply personal: Kate Griffith's harrowing allegations of coercive control and marital rape during her marriage to Andrew Griffith, an abuse which highlights the dark realities too often hidden behind the public façades of power. Firgas and Carlton explore how these dynamics echo the experiences of countless women, showing how the language of love, loyalty, and parental responsibility is frequently weaponised to keep victims silent and trapped. The conversation then widens to examine systemic issues: the underfunding of the criminal justice system, the shortcomings of parliamentary standards, and the uneven way cases of domestic and sexual abuse are handled in both the courts and the media. Why do survivors so often feel disbelieved or dismissed? Why does the system still lean toward protecting the reputations of powerful men over the safety and dignity of women? A striking dimension of the Griffith case is its political twist: following their divorce, Kate Griffith went on to win her ex-husband's former parliamentary seat, a moment that raises difficult questions about power, gender, and the resilience of survivors. Firgas and Carlton reflect on what it means when the abused literally takes the place of the abuser within the same structures of state power—and whether this represents justice, irony, or something more troubling. Both episodes also address wider societal narratives: the persistence of misogyny, the culture of male blame, and the contested notion of the parental prerogative—the belief that parents, no matter their abusive behaviour, should retain access to their children. This debate exposes the tensions between a child's welfare, the rights of survivors, and the rights of perpetrators who seek to maintain control through family courts. Together, these two episodes present not just a single case but a lens on Britain's political class, its justice system, and its societal attitudes toward gendered violence. They ask listeners to confront whether progress is being made, or whether institutions remain complicit in sustaining patterns of abuse.

The statistics of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Domestic Violence prevalence are staggering. 1 in 6 adult women and 1 in 16 adult men have experience physical or sexual abuse at the hands of their partner. Approximately 2.5 million Australians (13%) experienced abuse during their childhood. However, IPV is a topic that is rarely discussed. As healthcare professionals, we need to change this. A recent study by our guests on this episode, Timelines of psychological, physical and sexual intimate partner violence among a nationally representative sample of Australian women, studied the timeline of psychological, physical, and sexual intimate partner violence. They highlighted that early warning signs of an abusive partner include isolation, controlling behaviour, and intense jealously. We discuss these important findings and other take home messages of this study and how we can apply it to everyday practice. This is the story about intimate partner violence. Our special guests: Dr Elizabeth McLindon is a Research Fellow in the Department of General Practice and works in the Sexual Abuse and Family Violence (SAFE) program. Elizabeth is the Deputy Director of the Centre for Family Violence Prevention at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne. Professor Kelsey Hegarty is an academic general practitioner who holds the joint Chair in Family Violence Prevention at the University of Melbourne and the Royal Women’s Hospital.

The cases of Jeffrey Epstein, R. Kelly, and Sean "Diddy" Combs, while involving different individuals, share several thematic similarities that center around allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse of power, and exploitation. Below is a comparison based on these common factors:1. Allegations of Sexual Abuse and MisconductJeffrey Epstein: Epstein was charged with running a sex trafficking ring that exploited underage girls, some as young as 14. He used his wealth and influence to recruit vulnerable minors for sexual exploitation over many years.R. Kelly: The R&B singer was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking, including charges of sexually abusing minors. He operated a scheme where young women and underage girls were lured into abusive situations, often under false pretenses of career opportunities.Sean "Diddy" Combs: Combs is facing a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault, battery, and abuse over an extended period. The case includes claims that he exploited his influence and power in the entertainment industry to manipulate and control women, though his case lacks the widespread scope of trafficking networks seen in Epstein and R. Kelly's cases.2. Exploitation of Power and InfluenceEpstein: A financier with connections to high-profile political and business elites, Epstein used his wealth, private islands, and powerful network to hide and perpetuate his crimes for years. His connections gave him a shield from scrutiny until his arrest and subsequent death in 2019.R. Kelly: Kelly leveraged his fame and success in the music industry to recruit victims, often promising to mentor them or help their careers. He maintained control over these women through psychological, emotional, and sometimes physical abuse.Combs: As a music mogul and media figure, Combs had considerable influence in the industry, which his accusers claim he used to exploit and manipulate victims. His power dynamic is similar to Kelly's in terms of being a gatekeeper for opportunities in entertainment, making it harder for accusers to speak out without fearing career consequences.3. Systematic Abuse and ControlEpstein: The Epstein case revealed a systematic approach to exploiting young girls, involving an intricate network of recruiters, enablers, and blackmail material used to silence victims. His case exposed a broad system of grooming, blackmail, and exploitation.R. Kelly: Kelly was accused of running an organized, cult-like system where he isolated women, controlled every aspect of their lives, and manipulated them through threats and abuse. His use of enablers to maintain control over his victims parallels Epstein's methods.Combs: While the extent of systematic abuse in Combs' case is still unfolding, the accusations point to a long-term pattern of controlling behavior, manipulation, and sexual misconduct.4. Public Perception and Legal OutcomesEpstein: Epstein's case sparked global outrage, especially after his death in jail under suspicious circumstances, which many believe was tied to the influential figures he associated with. His death left many questions unanswered and led to ongoing legal actions against his associates.R. Kelly: Kelly was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison after decades of allegations. His case was marked by long-standing public scrutiny, especially after the "Surviving R. Kelly" documentary brought renewed attention to his abuses.Combs: The legal proceedings against Combs are more recent, and his case is still developing. While he denies the allegations, the case has ignited discussions around abuse in the music industry similar to what followed Kelly's trial.5. Cultural Impact and Public DiscourseAll three cases highlight the abuse of power by wealthy and influential men in positions of authority. Epstein and R. Kelly's cases became focal points for larger conversations around sexual trafficking, abuse in the entertainment industry, and the legal system's failures to protect vulnerable individuals.Combs' case, still in its early stages, may follow a similar trajectory, as more details emerge and public discourse continues around abuse in the music industry.In summary, the similarities between these cases lie in the alleged exploitation of power and influence, systematic abuse, and the use of enablers or networks to perpetuate crimes over extended periods. Each case reveals broader societal issues around accountability, celebrity culture, and the treatment of victims in the justice system.(commercial at 8:55)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean Combs' Case Compared to R.

Welcome back to my next season of Unleashing Sister Saints. I'm starting out this season with a special episode titled "Healing After Sexual Abuse: A Latter-Day Saint Perspective," which is the title of a new book released by Deseret Book. I interviewed the two authors of this book for this episode: Shirley Washenko and Sage Williams. This episode has such profound insights we need to all understand, whether we are a survivor or not. And we all around people impacted whether we know it or not. Their insights on accountability and forgiveness are profound and not what you would think in many ways. Please listen in! These two are amazing. https://open.spotify.com/episode/26N9MEivRkUkgFeoA52m68?si=R9VlNmuzQ3OCpFwFL0n7BABook: Healing after Sexual Abuse - WILLIAMS, SAGE; WASHENKO, SHIRLEY | Deseret Book

False accusations cut deeper than most people realize. For survivors of abuse, they don't just create conflict — they echo the original wound. In this episode of The Empowering Story Podcast, I share how facing false accusations retraumatized me by triggering the very silence I knew as a child: no one defended me, no one spoke up, no one stood beside me. We'll explore: ✨ How the body remembers abandonment long before the mind can name it ✨ Why false accusations uniquely target a survivor's reclaimed strengths — voice, credibility, boundaries ✨ The paradox of being a trauma professional who is still human and still triggered ✨ How I learned to turn triggers from derailment into bridges of resonance with my clients ✨ Why integration requires community — and how to discern safe people from unsafe ones This isn't about erasing pain. It's about transforming it. About shifting from wounds we carry to wisdom we own.

Not everyone is worthy of your story. The difference between feeling lighter after sharing—or smaller and ashamed—often comes down to how you're received. In this episode of The Empowering Podcast, we explore the powerful distinction between care and curiosity: What safe presence really sounds and feels like. How your body knows the difference before your mind does. Why integration depends on being received with care. Practical ways to “test the waters” before sharing more. How we can all become safer witnesses for one another. Through story, guided reflection, and somatic practices, you'll learn how to trust your body's compass and reclaim your voice without betraying your own pace. Because healing doesn't begin with telling everything—it begins with finding who can hold your truth with tenderness. We don't just tell stories. We reclaim them.

Karlie Pearce-Stevenson and her daughter Khandalyce Pearce were tragically murdered in 2008 in a case that shocked Australia.

On this episode of In The Circle, I address a deep and personal question from Annesa: Can I recover from a lifelong struggle with food and body dysmorphia resulting from sexual abuse?This inquiry sheds light on the intricate relationship between trauma, self-view, and the longing for healing in a society where many women undergo sexual assault. For us to discover true healing, we need to confront and question our deep-seated identities and beliefs and reconnect with our emotional and spiritual essence. Practicing techniques like Kundalini Yoga and mindfulness can play a huge part in helping us achieve our ultimate goal of peace and freedom. We need to be striving daily to discover our truths, discard detrimental self-beliefs, and embrace self-love and acceptance, especially when confronted with societal challenges and personal traumas. Not only does this guide us to experience true healing and recovery, it extends a beacon of hope to those on a similar healing journey.Tommy discussesThe importance of discovering one's true self beyond trauma and storiesWhy recovery is about realizing the divinity within and coming to the truth of who you areHow trauma keeps you in a story that distances you from your true selfThe multiple benefits of practicing yoga and mindfulnessHow to create an identity filled with love, compassion, and presence.Further Links & ResourcesCatch a Meeting.

Today we complete our week long look at childhood sexual abuse and how our churches should respond. Today I will issue a warning – don't ever let down your guard. Over the course of the last few months our internet feeds and news sites have been filled with a steady streams of abuses revealed. Our temptation is to always point the finger and to shake our heads in pious disapproval, all the while denying that we'd ever think or do anything like that. Don't buy the lie. We are sinful and fallen human beings. Each of us could easily cross the line into anything from inappropriate emotional enmeshment to sexual abuse. Surround yourself with accountability. Set boundaries and hold to them. Don't take advantage of vulnerable young people in any way, shape, or form. And, if you're struggling, step away and get the help that's needed. Paul wasn't joking when he said, “Flee from sexual immorality” 

All this week we're looking at how our churches should respond to the epidemic of childhood sexual abuse. Today's advice? Don't fall into the trap of believing that you have the knowledge and ability to intervene and do what needs to be done from start to finish. Trained and competent counselors must be employed to work with the victims and the perpetrator. Law enforcement officials must be informed immediately. Harvest USA, a ministry dealing with the scourge of sexual sin and brokenness, has a list of goals for the redemptive process. First, protect the minor child. Second, honor the laws of the state. Third, begin to repair the damage. Fourth, enable the perpetrator to face the consequences of his or her actions. Fifth, maintain the purity of the Church if the person is a part of the church. And sixth, maintain the purity of the witness of Christ in the community.

Today we continue our look at how to respond when childhood sexual abuse visits our church or someone we know. Never forget to focus on the victim. Believe it or not, they are oftentimes forgotten and blamed. What's wrong with us? We must go out of our way to affirm young victims who come forward. Not only does this promote the process of healing for the victim, but it fosters a climate where other victims too scared to speak come to see the church as a safe place from which to launch on to the road to restoration. Realize that young sexual abuse victims need you to walk with them every step of the way. . . and that journey begins the moment they reveal their abuse. Being victimized by sexual abuse is a monumental faith-rattler. How we choose to respond – or not respond – to young victims will shape their concept of God, their relationship to the church, and their faith for the rest of their lives.

This week we're looking at how to respond to the epidemic of childhood sexual abuse. Sadly, one of the complaints heard most often about Christians and the church is that we ignore the problem of sexual abuse, or sometimes even deny its existence. The consequences of our ignorance and irresponsibility are great. We wind up ignoring the need to develop effective and responsible preventive and redemptive responses. Fortunately, the growing pervasiveness of sexual abuse has caused many churches to wake up and establish protective policies for the church, their children's ministry, and youth group. What, is your church doing? Work to implement policies and training that will reduce the risk of making it easy to put kids into the hands of sexual predators. Screen your volunteers. Require interviews and background checks. Implement oversight and accountability standards. 

All this week we will look at what the church can do in response to sexual abuse. First, talk about sexual abuse - over and over again. Make sure that everyone in your church understands the reality and pervasiveness of childhood sexual abuse. Not only does this paint sexual abuse as a very real social and spiritual problem, but it fuels a mentality that leads to the development of healthy preventive and redemptive responses measures. Talking about it with your kids helps them more readily recognize it as sinful and immoral behavior. Consequently, those who have been victimized will be more prone to come out of the shadows of secrecy and into the light that leads to liberation. And, you will be preparing kids to move into a spiritually healthy adulthood with an established sense of right and wrong. . . especially in a world that sends confusing sexual messages that only feed the mindset of the abuser.

A disturbing case exposed how the Mormon Church's 24/7 legal hotline advised bishops not to report child abuse, citing clergy-penitent privilege under Arizona law. Despite years of abuse, the father wasn't stopped until law enforcement discovered evidence online. After a judge initially shielded the church from lawsuits, an appeals court reversed the decision in 2025, highlighting loopholes in reporting laws. Most states, including Arizona, still allow clergy to withhold abuse reports, but some—like TX, WA, and NC—have eliminated these exemptions. Many urge closing these legal gaps to better protect children.✖️✖️✖️Watch my coverage of the ongoing fight to end clergy loopholes in Washington: https://youtu.be/ZLz2WOM7ND0?si=yXrNWIJ2Th-NqYsx✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

GEOFF THOMPSON  is a BAFTA-winning screenwriter, penning multi-award-winning films for luminaries such as Ray Winstone and Orlando Bloom. Geoff is also among the world's highest-ranking self-defence and martial arts instructors.  Geoff was sexually abused at the tender age of 11 by a trusted and beloved teacher. By the time he was 30 years old, he was unconsciously displacing his rage into violence, sexual self-harm and long bouts of debilitating depression. In this deeply empirical study, Thompson reveals the true definition and the incredible power of forgiveness, clearly defining the difference between forgiving someone and letting them off.

In Part 2 of Nichole Henson's powerful story, we find out what happened after the abuse. Because freedom isn't always instant—and healing? It's a battlefield. Nichole opens up about her journey as a licensed therapist, all while secretly spiraling. Self-harm. Rage. Hearing voices that hated her husband, her child, her parents—and God. For years, she believed those voices were just a broken part of her. But the truth? It was deeper than mental illness. It was demonic. She couldn't get her thoughts under control because they weren't hers. She had unknowingly partnered with torment—and deliverance was the only way out. Sis, this is not just another “look what God did” story. It's raw. It's intense. And it's a wake-up call for every woman battling silently behind a smile. If you've ever felt like your mind was at war, like your faith and your feelings were pulling you in opposite directions, or like freedom was for everyone but you—this episode is your reminder that God isn't finished with you yet.

Katy Lane was raised Catholic, but her passion for God was sparked when she was baptized in the Holy Spirit. At that very moment, Katy was healed of the deep trauma she had suffered from abuse as a girl. Miraculously, she was able to forgive. It was then that Katy truly began to live her faith.   Before this, Katy was hesitant to share her faith. In this “Women of Wisdom” series, Katy shares how she learned, “Your mess is your message.” Listen and discover how, “Your test is your testimony.” Katy shares her message of healing and hope in small groups and her ministerial work. She teaches Bible Study and art classes at Room in the Inn, a Day Shelter in Nashville, TN.

Robert Peters spent most of his life as a prosecutor and a Christian. Those two things came together when he took his position as the director of institutional response for GRACE, an organization that investigates sexual abuse in Protestant churches. Founded in 2003 after a reporter called the founder about a case of sexual abuse mishandled by a pastor, GRACE, which stands for Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment, the group's leadership became convinced that Protestant institutions were not properly addressing incidents of sexual abuse that would eventually lead to the damage seen in the Catholic Church. In their view, authoritarian cultures of some organizations were particularly susceptible to spiritual abuse and silencing victims.Following in the footsteps of James Lutrell, a prosecutor in the case of the Delphi, Indiana murders of Abby Williams and Libby German, Robert puts a laser focus on victims, getting to the truth and promoting change.

Shame doesn't live in your head, it lives in your body. In this deeply vulnerable and enlightening episode, somatic practitioner Luis Mojica returns to Trauma Rewired to share the biological impact of trauma, the hidden costs of fawning, and how embodiment is not about peace, it's about presence. Together, we explore how unprocessed shame can drive chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction, and boundary collapse, long after the traumatic event has passed. Luis also shares his own story of sexual trauma, dissociation, and how learning to support his constriction, rather than push through it, changed his life. We discuss how trauma responses like shame and fawning were once protective, and why repatterning happens not through digging up the past, but by feeling what's here now. This episode offers hope, clarity, and tangible insights for anyone healing from trauma, struggling with burnout, or navigating the complexities of somatic work. Topics discussed in this episode: Why shame is physically stressful to the body The connection between shame, inflammation, and the gut How fawning breaks your own boundaries to gain connection Why trauma healing is not about digging up the past Embodiment ≠ Peace — what it really means The power of witnessing and being witnessed Trauma's impact on autoimmune responses Constriction as a nervous system signal The somatic difference between memory and sensation Why burnout happens from emotional override The role of titration in safe, sustainable healing How supporting constriction expands capacity What boundaries mean in the body — and how to set them
