Podcasts about supporting survivors

On today's episode, we're going even deeper into my stalker situation. I'll be sharing more details about his delusional tendencies—including how he's gone as far as pretending to be a police officer to manipulate and control people (which is a crime, by the way). I'll also be answering the questions I've received from you all about this ongoing situation.Law enforcement is now more involved (actual police, not to be confused with blue light bandits), we know everything, and we'll be handling it all legally. Tune in for the full update.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmJnibJBpoe9p7ReNXovwJMQN&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqIm_BhDnARIsAKBYcmsZOengz4NFStC14G_b2eziJgYpA8kGt2sokaR9i3PcTxs0QmcaPosaAtbGEALw_wcB

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a second time, satanic and masonic ritual abuse, mind control and human trafficking survivor, writer and author, survivor advocate, entrepreneur, founder of Handing the Shame Back Foundation, content creator and podcast host, and the woman behind the global hand signal for ‘under 16's': Gloria MastersA little bit about Gloria if you missed her first episode or are new here: Gloria was born into a multi-generational incest-based family in New Zealand and survived 16 years of heinous abuse at the hands of her family and the same people who should have been protecting her. Her father sold her to gangs and other groups and Gloria was forced to be a part of over 100 child sexual abuse materials - mainly videos. While her father sold her, her grandmother was getting paid a commission to train her, so she grew up with nowhere to turn for help. After her awakening to the truth about her childhood, Gloria - against all odds - not only overcame what was mean to destroy and silence her, but went on to become an author of three books, ‘On Angels Wings: My Flight From Trauma to Grace', ‘Keeping Kids Safe - A Roadmap for Parents, Teachers, and Others', and ‘Flightpath to Healing - A Guide for Child Sexual Abuse Survivors', started and founded a charity dedicated to survivors of child sexual abuse called Handing the Shame Back Foundation, and started her own podcast on YouTube of the same name - presenting interviews and resources designed exclusively for survivors.Gloria's purpose in life has become ‘to help others' by shining a light onto the darkness through love and humility. She strives to reach as many survivors as she can to help them feel less alone and traumatized. Gloria is such a beautiful example of what can happen when you decide to turn pain into purpose and when you can use your story instead of letting your story use you. Something amazing happens when we side-step the manufactured reality built for us and create a better and new reality that focuses on making the world a better place for children, victims and survivors. And that's exactly what Gloria chose to do with her testimony - she gave it a purpose and is now making the world a better and safer place for our children - one book, one podcast and one hand signal at a time.On today's episode, Gloria is going to be sharing about the current Diddy scandal and what we can do to help survivors, victims, and the community when disclosure gets leaked or shared. Unfortunately, survivors take a back seat to headlines and they often get ignored or get left without the same attention and support as their abusers. Today, we will be discussing Diddy and entitlement, bystanders and their culpability, the impact disclosure has on survivors, how culture is determined by the way they treat their children, and so much more. Gloria is a wealth of knowledge providing education and solutions on how we can help victims and survivors as well as how we can - as a society - heal and help those get free who are still enslaved in these systems. It's an honor to get to learn from Gloria who has devoted her life to this cause and I encourage you all to please put away whatever you are doing, grab a pen and paper and give this incredible warrioress your full attention as we continue to learn from her how to hand our shame back to where it belongs!Support the show

Coffee brings people together for all sorts of reasons. One of the beautiful ways coffee is used is as a vehicle for change in areas of our world that desperately need it. Nowhere is change more needed than in the realm of human trafficking and exploitation.  I am thrilled to talk with a couple of professionals on the front lines of this fight. We are talking with Jenny Barber and Jake Jiron of Talitha Coffee Roasters! Jenny Barber, Cofounder of Talitha Coffee Roaster has spent the past 14 years becoming an expert on the topic of Human Trafficking. Determined to make a positive difference after witnessing the devastating, intergenerational impact of the issue from a young age Jenny founded Talitha Coffee Roasters.  Their mission is to end Human trafficking and support survivors, one sip at a time. They do this By creating job opportunities, providing support for survivors of human trafficking, and partnering with experts as well as individuals and organizations seeking to benefit others.  Jenny herself is a survivor of childhood exploitation. Today, she's a mother of 6, college graduate, business and non-profit leader, and tireless advocate.  Jake Jiron, originally from Bakersfield, CA, began his journey in specialty coffee in 2016 after graduating from San Diego State University. Starting as a farmer's market pop-up coordinator, he quickly expanded his roles to include admin tasks, invoicing, delivery driving, and ultimately transitioned into sales. Over the past seven years, Jake's focus has been on selling coffee and managing wholesale customers, turning his passion into a dedicated career. Inspired by the mission and vision of the company, he knew he wanted to be part of something bigger that made a tangible difference in people's lives. Believing he could use his skills to support those in need of employment and opportunity, he made the decision to join Talitha Coffee.  In this conversation we discuss:  Building a Business with Purpose: The Talitha Model Creating Employment Opportunities for Survivors The Importance of Quality in Coffee and Mission Alignment Navigating Relationships with Wholesale Accounts Training and Supporting Survivors in the Workplace Empowering Survivors Through Care Plans Onboarding and Workforce Readiness Celebrating Growth and Skills Development Fostering Long-Term Relationships Partnerships for Impact and Support Links: www.talitha.com Instagram: @talithacoffeeroasters    Related episodes: 106 : Changing Lives Through Coffee w/ Pamela Chng of Bettr Barista Founder Friday!

Trigger Warning: This podcast contains references to sensitive themes, such as domestic and intimate-partner violence and sexual assault, which may be distressing to some individuals.   October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so "Build Me Up" is taking the opportunity to highlight Bemidji's Northwoods Battered Women's Shelter and the influential work that they do surrounding intimate-partner violence.

Resolution OptionsBecause we are all different, so are our views on how to get resolution regarding our abuse. For some of us it may be finding forgiveness, for others it may be confronting the abuser.

John Coulter, Willow Park abuse survivor and Professor Jennifer Llewellyn, Professor of Law, Dalhousie University in Canada, on the role restorative justice can play in helping to support survivors of sexual abuse at religious-led schools.

Coercive control—subtle, persistent abuse that manipulates and dominates victims—is being recognized as a serious form of abuse in Canada. Angela Marie MacDougall is the executive director of Battered Women's Support Services and is helping women escape violent relationships. She joins us to share her thoughts on coercive control and how we can better support survivors of gender-based violence.

Send us a textConflict-related sexual violence has existed for as long as war itself – forever.“It is a weapon of war. I would say it's a weapon of mass destruction. It is really maximising harm,” says Esther Dingemans, Executive Director of the Global Survivors Fund.In Inside Geneva's final summer profile, we talk to a woman working to support survivors of sexual violence…from Sudan, to Ukraine, to Syria, or Chad.“Young girls have been raped in front of their parents. Fathers are bound to chairs and forced to watch that. Or that an older – a woman in her 80s is raped in front of her son-in-law,” says Dingemans.The 1949 Geneva Convention prohibits wartime rape and enforced prostitution. But even today there are few prosecutions. And what about the survivors?“Survivors doubt themselves. Most victims of sexual violence will always question themselves. ‘Am I to blame?'” explains Dingemans.The Global Survivors Fund works for reparation – not just money, but health care, counselling, and above all, recognition of the harm done.“What is really important, particularly for survivors of sexual violence - which is often surrounded by so much shame and stigma - is that they are acknowledged, that harm has been done to them, and that it was not their fault,” concludes Dingemans.Join host Imogen Foulkes on Inside Geneva.Get in touch!

Self EsteemWhen you know your survivor is not feeling good through the way they are behaving or the words they are using, through not validating themselves or putting themselves down, please counteract this, as this gives them an opportunity to make the link between their behaviour and the childhood  relationships they had, where they were not valued. Go to our website (see below) for more information on resources available, and if you are looking for coaching whether survivor or supporter. https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ #ibelievesurvivors #handingtheshameback #handsign4kidsTo learn more reach out to https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@handingtheshameback We are on all Social Media PlatformsTwitterFBLinkedInYouTubeInstaGramTikTok

Healthy BondsYour survivor having healthy and transparent relationships is of course, optimum.When this is not so, you will see their behaviour change in order to be accepted. This is a form of toxic bonding: arising from the abuse, and their needs not being met as children. (All you need to do is gently point it out, and let them know you have their back)Go to our website (see below) for more information on resources available, and if you are looking for coaching whether survivor or supporter. https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ #ibelievesurvivors #handingtheshameback #handsign4kidsTo learn more reach out tohttps://www.handingtheshameback.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@handingtheshamebackTo learn more reach out to https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@handingtheshameback We are on all Social Media PlatformsTwitterFBLinkedInYouTubeInstaGramTikTok

Holding the SpaceThis is about you.When supporting survivors we can end up depleted or overwhelmed or even fed up.That's okay, and to be expected. Allow yourself to have some space for you, a bit of time away or some self care. EG, Playing footy, doing an art class. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as you're feeling refreshed and repleted. Go to our website (see below) for more information on resources available, and if you are looking for coaching whether survivor or supporter. https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ #ibelievesurvivors #handingtheshameback #handsign4kidsTo learn more reach out to https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@handingtheshameback We are on all Social Media PlatformsTwitterFBLinkedInYouTubeInstaGramTikTok

Its' not their faultThe survivor in your life, may still feel its their fault, that somehow they caused the abuse to occur.Although to you , it may seem unusual they feel that, please understand: as children they were conditioned to believe they were wrong, and actually caused it.They didn't have ability to understand they were being lied to and deceived. Help them to see that!Go to our website (see below) for more information on resources available, and if you are looking for coaching whether survivor or supporter. https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ #handingtheshameback #handsign4kids #childhoodsexualabuse #survivorofsexualabuse #survivorsupport#survivors #ibelievesurvivors #handingtheshameback #handsign4kidsTo learn more reach out to https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@handingtheshameback We are on all Social Media PlatformsTwitterFBLinkedInYouTubeInstaGramTikTok

Self TalkMood changes are common for survivors to feel. It's important to become aware that their mood hasn't suddenly changed out of nowhere; the self talk they are doing will be the reason. This will instantly impact the mood and needs attention.The self talk they use can sometimes be quite devastating and unkind. Gently encourage them to notice it a little more and provide encouragement when they recognise the signs. They, and you, deserve to feel happy and at peace. Have a listen as to how this particular tip may just help you as well.Go to our website (see below) for more information on resources available, and if you are looking for coaching whether survivor or supporter. https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ #handingtheshameback #handsign4kids #childhoodsexualabuse #survivorofsexualabuse #survivorsupport#survivors #ibelievesurvivors #handingtheshameback #handsign4kidsTo learn more reach out to https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@handingtheshameback We are on all Social Media PlatformsTwitterFBLinkedInYouTubeInstaGramTikTok

Being BelievedThis is linked to Donna's interview held this month and listed across social media platforms.Being believed is really powerful for your survivor. It helps to give validation, builds more of a sense of who they are, alongside confidence.Make sure you are proud and show tit through:  a gift, or doing something special for them (use any of the 5 love languages to show your pride in them), and dedicate that to the survivor.Go to our website (see below) for more information on resources available, and if you are looking for coaching whether survivor or supporter. https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ #handingtheshameback #handsign4kids #childhoodsexualabuse #survivorofsexualabuse #survivorsupport#survivors #ibelievesurvivors #handingtheshameback #handsign4kidsTo learn more reach out to https://www.handingtheshameback.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@handingtheshameback We are on all Social Media PlatformsTwitterFBLinkedInYouTubeInstaGramTikTok

In this episode of the Psychedelic Medicine Podcast, Erica Siegal, LCSW returns to discuss the important topic of supporting survivors of psychedelic abuse. Erica is a psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, community organizer, and harm reduction advocate. In 2019 she founded NEST Harm Reduction, a California-based mental health and psychedelic support organization that provides psychotherapy, outreach, education, and integration. Erica also recently founded SHINE Collective to support survivors of psychedelic harm and abuse.  In this conversation, Erica unpacks the complexities around various forms of abuse that exist in psychedelic spaces. One major form of abuse she identifies is financial coercion, where clients of psychedelic facilitators come to feel that one's spiritual access has a paywall, or that they are having to make major financial decisions while under altered states of consciousness. Erica also discusses problematic sexual and romantic dynamics that can arise, drawing a clear line in the sand that there should never be any form of sexual contact between psychedelic facilitators and clients. In closing, she shares more about the work SHINE Collective is doing to support survivors of psychedelic abuse, and discusses ways that listeners can help support this important work.    In this episode: What inspired Erica to start SHINE Collective Issues of financial coercion in psychedelic spaces Different forms of spiritual abuse Ways identify the dynamics of spiritual abuse and guard against them  Why Erica is skeptical of husband-wife teams of psychedelic therapists or facilitators Issues of sexual dynamics between psychedelics facilitators and clients Training and integration needed prior to skillfully and safely facilitating psychedelic experiences What SHINE Collective is doing to support survivors of psychedelic harm   Quotes: “You also see people who are like ‘oh well if you want to keep working with me it's this price' and then all of a sudden the access to psychedelics—the spiritual access—now becomes ‘well I have to be paying this person $1,000 a month to just be on their mailing list because they are the person that is acting as the point between me and my spiritual access.'” [11:19] “If you're facilitating, you should have a consultation group of other facilitators in which you consistently welcome constructive feedback. … And be able to have case consultations, and be able to have reflection.” [26:43] “Psychedelic facilitators should not be having sex with people they are facilitating psychedelic ceremonies for.” [30:35]   Links: NEST Harm Reduction website NEST Harm Reduction on Instagram NEST Harm Reduction on Twitter SHINE Collective website SHINE Collective on Instagram Erica on LinkedIn Erica on Instagram Previous episode: Avoiding the Traps of Psychedelic Self-Absorption with Adam Aronovich, PhD(c) Article by Jules Evans and Joseph Holcomb Adams: “Blurred Lines: improving the ethics of psychedelic fund-raising” The Emerald Podcast by Joshua Michael Schrei on Spotify Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui

New Podcast Alert: Protecting Our Children and Supporting Survivors The alarming number of men in jail for sexual abuse calls for our attention. It's crucial to understand that there are underlying factors and trauma behind these actions. We are excited to share a powerful podcast episode by Dr. Kelley, specifically aimed at parents. In this episode, she delves into effective ways to protect our children from sexual harassers and identify potential red flags. It's an essential resource for every parent to ensure the safety and well-being of their children. If you have experienced sexual harassment, please know that you are not alone. Seeking help is a vital step towards healing. This podcast also offers valuable insights for individuals struggling with their experiences. Remember, there is hope, and there is always a way out of your struggle. Tune in to the podcast now and let's work together to create a safer environment for our children and survivors. Dr. Kelli Palfy began her professional career working in adult and youth corrections. Here she noticed a disproportionate number of males in the prison system. As an RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer, she took an interest in investigating sex crimes and went on to specialize in sex crimes committed against children internationally. Here, she began to see that males were victims of sexual abuse too, and that there were very few resources available to them. She wondered if this was why so many males ended up in prison.  As she combed through video evidence, she witnessed first-hand the grooming tactics commonly used by sophisticated pedophiles. After leaving the RCMP, Dr. Palfy obtained her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Alberta. She wanted to support male victims, and sought to better understand the reasons why males don't commonly disclose sexual abuse. She is now a trained trauma therapist and public speaker on the topic of male abuse. Dr. Palfy currently runs a small private practice where she works with male survivors of sexual abuse, first responders and couples using Emotion-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Approach, plus Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Helena Bonham Carter is one of our best known actors – she's played everyone from Princess Margaret in The Crown and Elizabeth the Queen Mother in The King's Speech, to Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films, and more recently Enola Holmes' formidable mother in the Netflix films with Milly Bobby Brown. Helena is now taking on a very different role, that of the Queen of the Midlands Noele Gordon, or Nolly as she was known to her friends; the actress who starred in the hugely popular TV soap Crossroads for 18 years until she was sacked very suddenly in 1981. Russell T Davies has written the three part drama which is released on ITV X on Thursday 2 February. Helena joins Nuala in the studio. Researchers in Canada estimate that approximately one in eight women are likely to be suffering from an unrecognised brain injury related to domestic violence. Millions of dollars are spent each year in Canada studying the impacts of traumatic brain injuries on professional male athlete's brains, such as hockey players, whilst very little is known about the injuries suffered by female victims of intimate partner violence. Nuala speaks to Karen Mason, co-founder of the Supporting Survivors of Abuse and Brain Injury Through Research project, and a former executive director of the Kelona Women's Shelter in Canada, and Dr Paul van Donkelaar, a clinical neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia who specialises in concussion research. There's just one more week to get your submissions in for the Woman's Hour Power List, this year focussing on women in sport. It's not just football where the women's game has seen big success - Great Britain's women's curling team won a gold medal in Beijing, the 2022 Tour de France Femmes broke records, England and Wales have been confirmed as hosts of Women's T20 World Cup in 2026 and the list goes on. Nuala is joined by two of our Power List judges Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, one of Britain's most celebrated British Paralympians of all time, winning 16 medals across five Games, now a cross bench peer in the House of Lords, and Ebony Rainford-Brent, the World Cup winning cricketer and broadcaster. 1500 people who received treatment from jailed breast surgeon Ian Paterson are being recalled by Spire Healthcare, a private hospital company, after their details were recovered from an old computer database.

Joining Nuala is Jane Kirby, PA Media Health Editor.
