Podcasts about sexual abuse survivors

Pam Bondi said she had it. Then she said it was coming out at 8 AM. Then… nothing. Now, she's in hiding, refusing to address why the long-awaited Epstein list is still being kept from the public. But she's not the only one responsible for this sham. The new FBI Director, Kash Patel, and even Donald Trump are complicit in this failure to deliver the truth.And let's talk about those so-called “Conservative” influencers who turned the Bondi binders into a circus act. Handing out redacted files full of nothing but black ink wasn't a win—it was a total disgrace. They gamified children's trauma, treating the horrific abuse of minors as a political spectacle instead of demanding real justice. Rather than doubling down on their wrongness, they need to admit they got played.So, WHERE OH WHERE  is the Epstein list? Why are we STILL waiting? And who's actually protecting the predators? We're getting into all of it—no spin, no excuses, just Uncommon Sense.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

Send me a DM! ILY All!Today I'm honored to introduce you all to: Spiritual, sexual and religious abuse survivor, educator, writer and author, podcast host and podcaster, Masters Level University Instructor, Licensed Professional Counselor, seminar teacher, conference speaker, clinical supervisor, writer, trauma recovery specialist, published author, trained life coach, private practice owner who works with her own clients, and an absolute inspiration: Connie BakerConnie's was born into a family with conscientious parents that loved, supported, and cared about her. From the outside looking in, they looked like a typical ‘normal' family, but lurking beneath the surface, there was a dark side that was hidden from plain sight. Her parents were rigid, strict, authoritarian, and very harsh with Connie's discipline, and there was a demand for absolute compliance that Connie learned immediately as a young child to survive. She was supported by her parents as long as she was being good and the code word for her family was ‘responsibility'. These strict standards led to Connie became a very compliant and high-achieving child and adolescent back in the late 60s and 70s. She was raised in a country church in Southern Oregon that was full of unassuming, good-hearted people - and the church naturally reinforced all of the family themes that Connie had been conditioned to unconsciously accept at home. The theology and the culture of the church went along to strengthen the rigid, unbending demand for the same particular behavior patterns of perfection, compliance, obedience and responsibility her parents had always expected of her.The church Connie was attending during that time also happened to be pastored by someone who - three years earlier - had publicly confessed to having molested his own foster daughter. And when Connie was 16, this very pastor caught her alone on four different occasions and kissed her on the lips. Connie was silent about this violation for years - she knew the story of his foster daughter and knew no one would take her story seriously. This sexual violation helped further normalize this type of behavior and paved the way for more abuse down the road in Connie's life at the hands of church clergy.CLICK HERE FOR 15% OFF YOUR RIFE ORDER: Rife Technology – Real Rife TechnologyCODE: 420CLICK HERE FOR FREE SHIPPING ON CZTL'S METHYLENE BLUE: Buy ultra high purity Methylene Blue – CZTL CODE: IMAGINATIONCONNECT WITH CONNIE: YouTube: Connie A.

Spencer Lucas learned three important lessons from legendary personal injury lawyer Brian Panish: preparation, aggressiveness, and authenticity. A partner at the firm Brian co-founded, Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP, Spencer put those lessons to work, with Brian, to secure $135 million for two survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Listen in as Spencer breaks down the case against the Moreno Valley Unified School District for host Dan Ambrose. In addition to describing hurdles that the team overcame, Spencer discusses spearheading the firm's efforts to find justice for sexual abuse survivors in the wake of California's Assembly Bill 218, which gives survivors the right to file claims that were otherwise time-barred. As Spencer explains, it's less about the monetary results and more about shining a light on institutions that covered up abuse. “It's been incredibly satisfying for me as a lawyer to be a part of this awareness,” he says.At TLU Vegas, Spencer will lead a workshop about navigating sexual abuse cases, sharing insight on strategic considerations for discovery, depositions, witnesses, and more.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Spencer Lucas | LinkedIn | Email☑️ Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP | LinkedIn | Instagram | X | Facebook☑️ TLU VEGAS☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeEpisode SnapshotSpencer's hometown: Port Orchard, Washington.

This week I had the privilege of being joined by Susan M. Shaw & Grace Ji-Sun Kim to discuss their new book "Surviving God: A New Vision of God Through the Eyes of Sexual Abuse Survivors". It is no secret that Sexual Abuse is a HUGE problem; not just in society as a whole, but within the doors of the Church as well. Grace and Susan both share their own experiences and the experiences of other survivors to help call out the systems and ideologies that are at play that lend themselves to sexual violence and abuse. Our theology is called into question as well as Grace and Susan invite us to look at our understanding of God through the eyes of sexual abuse survivors. I hope this conversation is both challenging and rewarding. Enjoy.

“In the Bible we find many stories of abuse and sexual abuse of women, but did you know there are also stories of sexual abuse and sexual harassment of men? There is the well known story of Sodom and Gomorrah where the Angels, who were perceived to be men, were sexually harassed by the men of the city who wished to violently gang-rape them. Lott took them into his home for safety but tragically offered his daughters to be gang-raped instead. Thankfully the Angels did not allow the young women to be abused in this way. This story is nearly identical to the story of the gang-raped concubine in Judges 19 where the men of the city all gathered with violence on their minds. The only major difference is the concubine was a woman (not a man) and she was raped (not spared like the male Angels). There were also practices in the Roman empire common in the New Testament times were boys and male slaves could be sexually abused by their owner, master, or benefactor without legal repercussion because they were of a lesser status (this is called pederasty). Some scholars believe that the greek words arsenokoitai and malakoi in 1 Corinthians 6:9 are specifically speaking out against these predatory practices of sexual abuse where a dominant, high status man (viewed as masculine by patriarchal society) would sexually abuse a young boy or slave (seen as “effeminate” because of their lesser power in their patriarchal society). (1) I have mentioned before that Jesus, who came to earth as a man, experienced a form of sexual abuse on the cross as well. Forced stripping and forced public nakedness falls under the definition of sexual abuse.” -https://www.ashleyeaster.com/blog/male-sexual-abuse-survivor-in-the-bible. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Pam Allen-LeBlanc, Karen Caig, and Karen Harrison discussed how to use Reiki to heal sexual abuse.  Pam began with a beautiful meditation.  Karen Caig shared her perspective as a survivor and the lingering damage that occurs.  Karen Harrison shared her perspective as a counselor and Reiki therapist, including Reiki techniques she had used with survivors.  Helping clients to feel safe in session is a top priority.  With Reiki, the client doesn't need to share much about the experience but can simply receive healing that goes deep to clear out trauma. 

Next time on The State of Belief: The authors of the new book Surviving God: A New Vision of God through the Eyes of Sexual Abuse Survivors. Dr. Susan M. Shaw and Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim are both ordained ministers, theologians, prolific writers – and survivors of sexual abuse themselves. We'll address the sense of betrayal and isolation abuse experiences often trigger, and ways survivors can lessen these lasting effects of traumatic experiences. We'll also discuss ways organized religion can be more sensitive to the needs of survivors – as well as ways to reduce the risks of incidences of abuse within religious structures of power, authority and secrecy.

I had the opportunity to engage in a profound and revealing conversation with survivors of the Ohio State University sex abuse scandal. This podcast post aims to shed light on the harrowing experiences of these survivors, what Jim Jordan knew and didn't do, the systemic failures of the universities involved, and the urgent need for awareness, accountability, and change.The Survivors Speak OutThe survivors shared their personal stories of abuse, recounting instances of excessive fondling, drugging, rape, and voyeurism. They painted a disturbing picture of the environment at Ohio State, where faculty and staff were allowed to engage in inappropriate behavior. Their frustration with the legal system and the lack of support from the universities was palpable.Dr. Richard Strauss, a central figure in the scandal, was described as a manipulator who groomed his victims under the guise of medical procedures. The survivors emphasized the normalization of the abuse and the complicity of the institution in protecting Strauss. They drew parallels between the abuse at Ohio State, Michigan State, and the University of Michigan, suggesting a pattern of predatory behavior within large sports institutions.The Culture of Abuse in Athletic ProgramsThe survivors discussed the normalization and acceptance of the abuse within the athletic programs. They mentioned how the coaches and assistant coaches were aware of what was happening and even participated in normalizing it. The abuse was compared to hazing and initiation, and the upperclassmen would laugh about it. The power dynamic and fear of speaking out were highlighted, as well as the shame and confusion experienced by the survivors.The NCAA's Role and the Culture at Ohio StateThe survivors questioned why the NCAA hasn't investigated Ohio State University and suggested that it is because it would harm their brand. They highlighted the culture and atmosphere at Ohio State, specifically mentioning the sauna and showers where Dr. Richard Strauss would spend hours and engage in inappropriate behavior with the athletes.Systemic Issues and Legal ProceedingsThe survivors discussed the systemic issues at Ohio State University and the failure of coaches and administrators to address the abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss. Rocky Ratliff, a survivor and attorney representing other survivors in the lawsuit against Ohio State University, discussed the legal proceedings and tactics used to discredit the survivors.Personal Experiences and the Need for Legislative ChangesThe survivors discussed their personal experiences with the Ohio State University sex abuse scandal. They expressed their disappointment in the university's handling of the situation and the use of taxpayer dollars to pay settlements and legal fees. The need for legislative changes and accountability at the university was also discussed.Frustrations and the Need for ChangeThe survivors expressed their frustrations with Ohio State University's handling of the sex abuse scandal. They highlighted the manipulation by Ohio State University and the need for a change in the statute of limitations to support sexual abuse survivors.The Interconnectedness of Institutions and the LegislatureThe survivors discussed the interconnectedness of institutions and the legislature in protecting themselves from legal consequences. They called out the funding practices of insTamie Wilson is an entrepreneur, single mom and an advocate for all Ohio families, who has made it her life's work to help people live happier healthier lives.

It may take years for people who were sexually abused as children to come to grips with what happened and decide how to move forward.

Today, I interview Cindy Benezra who will share how she has emerged as a brilliant advocate for sexual abuse survivors. Her story is deeply moving, reflecting her struggles and resilience in the face of unimaginable trauma.From a young age, Cindy endured abuse at the hands of her father, a dominant and intelligent man who shattered her innocence. The abuse left her voiceless, as she grappled with the confusion of what was happening to her. Over the years, she found solace in nature, particularly among the orange blossoms, where she sought refuge and discovered the power of healing through self-expression.Cindy's path to healing was not linear, as she faced numerous challenges and setbacks along the way. Through an array of modalities, including mantras, visionary work, journaling, and alternative therapies, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and self-love. Her story showcases the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of finding one's voice after enduring profound trauma.__________________Cindy is the author of Under The Orange Blossoms, an advocate for sexual abuse survivors, and the owner of a luxury event company.__________________Find Cindy here:https://www.cindytalks.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cindy-benezra-932560158/https://www.instagram.com/cindybenezra/https://pinterest.com/cindybenezrahttps://pinterest.com/cindytalkshttps://www.youtube.com/cindybenezraSupport the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Trigger Warning: This episode focuses on child sexual abuse. Two takeaways I hope every listener hears: Let's stop calling it child pornography and call it what it is: child sexual abuse material. And, convicted child sexual predators do not belong in churches. I share resources to help individuals and institutions know better and do better (from Jimmy Hinton, Clara Hinton, Sarah McDugal, Daron Pratt, Exodus Cry, Operation Underground Railroad, RAINN, Rachael Denhollander).

In sharing her personal story, Deborah explains how her trauma history impacted her pregnancy and postpartum experience. She also shares how clinicians can help prepare sexual abuse survivors for their baby's birth and how medical professionals can provide trauma-informed care.  Show Highlights: Deborah's story of anxiety that began with her positive pregnancy test and escalated to depression–even though she was already seeing a therapist How she was in complete denial about her pregnancy, feeling like the baby was a parasite in her body How her labor began at 35 weeks in an unexpected way–and she didn't feel anything and was eventually sent home How her 37-week appointment found her in labor again—and her son was born a few hours later How Deborah's postpartum anxiety, depression, OCD, avoidance, and intrusive thoughts plagued her after giving birth How she learned that the pregnancy and postpartum experience can feel terrible What the statistics say about the likelihood of women experiencing physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime Why many sexual abuse survivors feel shame, fear, and fragility related to pregnancy and their medical care How the gender of the baby can trigger fears and strong emotions among survivors, along with the common medical practices related to pregnancy and birth How some survivors are triggered by fear and shame around bodily functions and bodily fluids during labor and delivery How even the sights, sounds, and smells of the hospital can be triggering for survivors Why nursing personnel should be attentive to the passive patient who seems calm and perfect, the patient who is completely dissociated from the experience, and the “difficult” patient Deborah's tips for how medical providers and therapists can show up better for sexual abuse survivors in very simple “workarounds” How Deborah's PMADs experience has led to beautiful healing Resources Connect with Deborah Website Resources mentioned in this episode and recommended by Deborah: RAINN Black Mamas Matter Alliance Time's Up FORGE Anti-Violence Project The Network La Red Survivor Moms' Companion When Survivors Give Birth book by Penny Simkin It's OK That You're Not OK book by Megan Devine Visit www.postpartum.net for resources!

“THERE IS NO GREATER AGONY THAN BEARING AN UNTOLD STORY INSIDE OF YOU” In this episode, Dana and Kim are joined by Sexual Abuse Survivor, Ann Burridge who suffered years of sexual abuse from her step-father beginning as a young child. Like many victims where abuse began early in life, Ann was not only confused by her step-father's actions, but also found a level of pleasure in performing them along with the attention she received. It wasn't until she began marriage counseling did the memories of abuse re-surface. This began Ann's decades-long journey toward confronting her past and healing the scars that remained. Ann's healing journey continues today and has included a few speed bumps and hurdles along the way but she has now found a life where she is content and looking at life through a different lens.

Matthew Bocchi's father was one of the many who lost their lives on September 11th. The news came in a highly censored manner. His mom and uncle told him what they thought was best for his young mind, but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted to understand all of the story.He became obsessed with the images of people jumping from the building and wondered daily if his father had been one of them. He badgered everyone around him, hoping one of them could tell him the truth. Eventually one person did talk to him, his uncle by marriage, but used it as a means to sexually assault Matthew. And thus began a life of using drugs to cope with devastating loss and psychological trauma. Matthew eventually chose to press charges against his persecutor only to find the legal system failing to find a verdict equal to crime. It was when he felt like there were no more options and his life was ruined, that his father came to him in the form of a sign. And in that moment, he decided to get help.Matthew began speaking in front of high school audiences throughout the tri-state area, delivering a message of hope and perseverance. The awestruck reception led him to write his debut memoir, SWAY, the first story told by a child of 9/11. He is now 7 years into his recovery journey, with plans to continue writing and speaking about inspiration and resilience.Episode ResourcesWebsite | matthewjohnbocchi.comSway | Matthew's BookConnect with The Courage to ChangePodcast Website | lionrock.life/couragetochangepodcastPodcast Instagram | @couragetochange_podcastYouTube | The Courage to Change PodcastTikTok | @ashleyloebblassingamePodcast Email | podcast@lionrock.lifePodcast Facebook | @thecouragetochangepodcastLionrock ResourcesLionrock Life Mobile App | lionrock.life/mobile-appSupport Group Meeting Schedule | lionrock.life/meetings

Ask Kati Anything ep.122 | Your mental health podcast, with Kati Morton, LMFT Audience questions I'm so scared of being a bad patient that I overanalyze everything and anything about my therapy sessions and even things I do outside of therapy. I always think about what my therapist would say about what I'm doing... I was wondering if you had any advice on how to enter into intimacy as a sexual abuse survivor? I find myself terrified at the idea of ever having sex. However, I also find myself having a difficult time holding my partner's hand. I thought... Are some people just too damaged by trauma to heal? My therapist told me that might be the case for me, and that I need to learn to live with it. This was after telling her that I was having a rough patch and was feeling suicidal, and was quite frankly devastating to hear. I thought the problem was that I... How do you get yourself to a place where you are able to talk about certain topics in therapy? I have been in and out of therapy my whole life and I'm now seeing a therapist that I really like and trust. I've been able to open up about many difficult topics, but I can't get myself to bring up my long history of medical trauma... How do you cope between therapists? My old therapist left, but because of wait lists it will be awhile before I can see someone new. I am struggling, including with suicidal ideation, and don't have much social support so I... I'm on a waiting list for a new therapist. I'm really struggling at the minute. I'm not sure how long I can keep waiting but I also don't feel like it's bad enough for crisis support. Do you have any advice for someone who's in limbo waiting for treatment but isn't able to cope whilst they're... Can help explain the concept of nonverbal sexual consent. I always thought consent had to be explicit and verbal and that it had to be done in that way prior to progressing to the next step (and of course that the other person couldn't be coerced or otherwise unable to consent). While I still think this is the very best way to handle consent, I was... Is there such a thing as too many diagnoses? I deal with PTSD, DID, OCD, Bipolar 1, Body dysmorphia, and potentially even atypical anorexia, but I feel this sense of guilt with having been diagnosed with so many things as I feel as though it may make me less likely to be believed and...
