Podcast appearances and mentions of teresa joyce

Tonight's special guest is Teresa Joyce from the UK, a returning NAASCA family member, author of 'There's a Fine Line', available as a free eBook which she says is a true story that ranges over a period of many years. Teresa explains the book, "covers the first married years of my mother's life, and the abuse she received from my now deceased father." Sadly, hardship just seemed to follow her around. Some years later she remarried, but unfortunately this union would "tear her once more into tiny pieces." Teresa explains she would spend many years hating not only herself, but everything around her. She swore to herself that she would leave all this behind. "The impact of sexual abuse varies from child to child for many the damage is enormous," she says, "with the impact still being felt into adulthood affecting all aspects of their life." Teresa continues, "Working through the memories of childhood abuse is painstaking work it will never happen overnight. But if we are ever going to be tested in our lives then this is one of the biggest test of all." Teresa explains, "We learn to process the memories that we remember as and when we can, because those traumatizing memories are not always remembered all at once on a conscious level. In truth it's your mind that is protecting you from confronting all those painful memories all at once. You will remember more when you are ready and able. With remembrance and time you find that you are working towards and able to see that positive outcome that can be yours. This is the right way – the one where you say to all that you alone stopped abuse in its tracks. Once you reach that feeling of completion you will understand fully – that yes it is indeed your life."

Teresa Joyce, author of "There's A Fine Line" understands the ramifications of severe psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse by her step-father.  Following-up on an interview from 2013, Dr. Carol Francis and Teresa Joyce travel down the paths to recovering after these early-aged and chronic atrocities.  To help people suffering from similar ordeals, her book is offered freely to listeners at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/719998.    For more information, you can contact her at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/719998.

Teresa's childhood is something that holds mostly harsh memories and is in very short supply of happy ones. He father died when she was 3 and Teresa felt her step-father never really liked her. She was abused and had no control over the grip of a complete madman, who was hellbent on destroying her life. She felt the only way out would be to check out of life completely. So she ran from memories of life living under  his rules, buried so deep she never remembered or faced it all until she was forced to. Teresa found herself spending many years within mental health care; in fact she is still under their care umbrella. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and her aim is to reassure that through her personal experience in her book titled: "There's A Fine Line".   Learn More:  Teresa Joyce

Teresa Joyce was born on the 15th December 1958 the middle child of three. After losing her father at a very young age; this was to set the pattern for the rest of her life. Losing was something she would have to get used to. Today she still has some memory of her father, but in truth it's all a little hazy. Her mother through no fault of her own after that loss had no other alternative, other than to return to her parent's home with her children in tow. This family unit was to spend only a few years there, until the wind of change came around once more. Happy memories are something that Teresa holds in very short supply. Her mother was set to meet the man that was to become her stepfather, and they moved once more to a new city with the promise of a new life. Hopefully it would be a happy one for all concerned, but it became a place for Teresa that felt far more like a prison. One in which she would spend many years months days and hours hating. She swore to herself that she would leave all this behind at the first possible occasion.

  Linda Leon says her mother was very inspirational.  She made her believe that I could do anything that I wanted in life and that hard work pays off. This is one of the things that changed Linda Leon's life - Hardship and adversity have made me a better person, given me perspective and showed me the things that are really important in life.  What is important is peace of mind and a thriving family. The Quote that Linda lives by is -  Get over it and get on with it.  Why - Life is too short to spend a lot of time considering the past, especially events that were difficult.  Power comes when you set yourself in forward motion, make the best of a bad situation and succeed.   Teresa Joyce spent many years of trying to connect with someone to aid me along the road to recovery. Until I met the Psychiatrist that started to reshape my life the day my grandson was born I knew for certain it was time. Sitting with him asleep on my lap made me realize, just how glad I was still on be on this side of life. This was what changed Teresa life - For me it was the birth of my Grandson. He made my life make sense and worthwhile.. He gave me a reason for being... I was reminded that my life had a sufficient valuable. I had spent so many years feeling quite the reverse. The quote that Tersesa lives by is - Regret for something you did won't alter its outcome... regret for what you didn't do may alter the outcome forever... It makes sense for me I had to learn to forgive the child within.. She had suffered enough.

Teresa Joyce, in her 50's and after her grandson was born, decides to expose the painful memories of her sexual abuse by her step-father when she was a child.  Why?  To help. To help those who have suffered sexual abuse and those who need to stop hurting others with sexual invasion of human dignity.  Teresa Joyce, from the United Kingdom, leds us to expose and dispose of the dreaded silence about sexual abuse within families so that more can be liberated to live the rest of their lives whole and loved.  Teresa Joyce' book "There's A Fine Line" has offered many the insight, self-love and freedom to move on from the curse of Sexual Abuse.

NG Episode -- Due to technical difficulties that occurred at the time the show was scheduled to air, this episode was not able to be produced. We will reschedule our SPECIAL GUEST, Teresa Joyce, author of "There's a Fine Line," to appear at the next opportunity she can make herself available.

Teresa lost her father at a very young age, would set a pattern to my life that was never to alter. Losing was something that I would have to get used to. I still have some memory of him, but in truth it's all a little hazy for me. Through no fault of her own, my mum had no alternative but to return to her parent's home. We were to spend a few years there with them, which hold many happy memories for me. Happy memories for me are sadly in very short supply, so I treasure them. After meeting my stepfather my mum was promised new life, one in which for her would hopefully be a happy one. For me it became a place that felt more like a prison, and one in which I would spend many an hour hating. I can still clearly remember the day that I left home and joined the Royal air force. I was just two months off my sixteenth birthday. My stepfather had informed me that to remain living in his house, I had to live by his rules. This was a big decision for me being so young, but I could no longer live by any rules that he imposed. Phil was born in east Tennessee but grew up in Virginia. After studying Advertising at Va.
