Podcasts about trauma survivors

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the podcast! Let me know via text :)In this very powerful episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Kelly-Anne Kerley, author of the compelling memoir Breaking Up with My Wheelchair. Together, we have an honest, heartfelt, and at times humorous conversation about trauma, healing, identity—and the journey of turning deeply personal stories into audiobooks.Kelly-Anne's life was changed in an instant when she was hit by a car, resulting in a devastating chain of injuries: a traumatic brain injury (TBI), incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), multiple surgeries, and months of intense rehabilitation. But her story isn't just about pain—it's about power. From being completely incapacitated to learning how to walk, function, and even ride again, Breaking Up with My Wheelchair is a celebration of strength, mindset, and triumph.In this episode, I also open up for the first time about my own recent trauma—a cancer scare that affected my appearance and deeply challenged my sense of self. Vulnerability met vulnerability in our chat, and it became clear that storytelling through audio is more than just a format—it's a form of healing.

Description:If you're feeling tired from trying to hold everything together perfectly — you're not alone. In today's episode, we're having a real, honest conversation about what it looks like to choose progress over perfection. We'll be looking at it through three lenses: first, how perfectionism shows up for just about everyone when we tie our worth to our performance; second, how it runs even deeper for trauma survivors, where perfection sometimes became a way to stay safe or avoid harm; and third, how even in our Christian walk, perfectionism can quietly slip in and make us feel like we have to earn God's love — when the truth is, His love has never depended on our performance. Each of these journeys is different, but if you see yourself in any of them, know this: you are already loved, already enough, and you are not alone in this fight. Today, we're giving ourselves permission to grow at our own pace, trust God's grace, and celebrate every small, brave step we take.Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro 3:27 General Perfectionism and Guarding Against Perfectionism21:55 Perfectionism as Christians and Pitfalls to Avoid39:55 Perfectionism as Trauma Survivors and Pitfalls to Avoid62:00 Practices to Overcome PerfectionismSEE RESOURCES HEREChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

Today's episode is one you won't forget. I'm sitting down with the incredible Julie Barth—a mother of six, trauma survivor, and the founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach. Julie has walked through more than most: parenting a child with Primordial Dwarfism, losing her young husband Colin to stage-four pancreatic cancer, caring for a child with a rare form of cancer, and surviving ten years in an emotionally and financially abusive marriage. But what stands out most about Julie isn't just what she's been through—it's what she's built from it.   Through her nonprofit, CJB Outreach, Julie is helping women-led households find stability during some of the hardest moments of their lives. This conversation dives into caregiving, loss, resilience, and what it really means to reclaim your life after trauma. Julie's story is deeply personal, but the lessons she shares are universal—and I'm so honored to share this space with her today.   Inside this episode: The moment Julie knew her life was going to look very different—and how she found strength in that How becoming a caregiver shaped her identity as a mom and woman The quiet ways abuse can take root—and how she began to reclaim her voice What kept Julie moving forward when everything felt like too much How a nonprofit idea turned into a mission to support women-led households The practical ways Julie is helping women feel safe, seen, and supported through CJB Outreach   Julie's story is a testament to the power of persistence, purpose, and protecting your peace. If you've ever felt like you were just trying to hold everything together, this episode will remind you that you're not alone—and that you can build something beautiful from even the most broken moments.   Connect with Julie! https://www.juliebarthauthor.net https://www.cjboutreach.org/ Don't forget to rate, subscribe, and review the podcast.

Episode 149  In this episode, I delve into the unique challenges that Catholic and Christian trauma survivors face in their healing journeys. Drawing from my own experiences and observations, I outline five specific reasons why faith can often complicate trauma recovery for believers. From the difficulty of accepting abuse within 'good' religious families, to the guilt around naming harm and the complexities of forgiveness, I discuss the psychological and spiritual hurdles that can impede healing. Join me as I explore how religious convictions, while deeply meaningful, sometimes inadvertently obstruct the path to recovery.LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Ex-Missionaries of Charity allege culture of abuse and neglect"The Turning" : The dark side of Mother Teresa's order, according to nuns who leftReport: Jean Vanier's L'Arche Hid ‘Mystical-Sexual' Sect for Decades'Confusion, control and abuse': Report offers new details about Jean Vanier's secret sect and sexual exploitationWatch this recording on YouTube.Follow me on my Instagram account @animann for more material on the integration journey and subscribe to my monthly reflections on Begin Again.CHAPTER MARKERS[00:00] Introduction to the Podcast[00:04] Challenges for Catholic and Christian Trauma Survivors[02:15] Reason 1: Difficulty Admitting Abuse in Religious Contexts[11:36] Reason 2: Unrecognised Abusive Dynamics[17:12] Reason 3: The Pressure to Forgive[22:37] Reason 4: Guilt in Naming Harm[27:09] Reason 5: Distrust of Secular Resources[34:43] The Impact of Religious Convictions on Healing[35:58] Conclusion and Invitation to ReflectREFLECTION PROMPTDo you resonate with any of these reasons outlined in this episode? If yes: Which reason(s) do you resonate with?

It's time for church leaders and believers to stop offering prettily packaged responses from a safe distance. It's time for us to sit in the ashes with the hurting, our Sunday clothes covered in dirt and grime, our faces lined with tears. Trauma brings people to the ash heap, so that is where the church needs to go.The church should serve as a refuge for people in pain. And yet, we often end up unintentionally causing more hurt to trauma survivors. Theological platitudes and positive thinking aren't simply dismissive to those who suffer, but they inevitably retraumatize the wounded. Does the Bible have anything practical to offer for church leaders as they engage the pain in their congregations?Biblical scholar Michelle Keener shows us that the book of Job provides embodied and practical answers for the church today. In this incredible tool for ministry leaders and trauma survivors alike, Keener offers:deep wisdom at the intersection of trauma theory and the book of Job for Christian communitiesreflection questions for ministry practitioners and those walking alongside those who have experienced traumaengagement with the idea of a shattered worldview and how to overcome the effects of that experience.Comfort in the Ashes helps leaders navigate their own trauma and gives practical guidance for supporting others whose worlds are falling apart. God meets us in our ashes and our pain. It's time for the church to do the same.1. You define trauma as a response to an event and not the event itself. Why is it important that events are not defined as trauma?2. In your book, you reference Judith's Herman's Three Stages of Recovery. What is it and why did you use Herman's concept?3. On page 49-51 you mention how it is common for people to present with Denial, Avoidance, and Shock as a standardresponse. However, this can lead friends and family to confuse their presentation with maturity or faithfulness, can you share more about that?4. In several places you insightfully point to the inner conflict of Job's friends. How does trauma challenge our ordinaryassumptions of how the world works? Can you also say moreabout The Retribution Principle?5. Toward the end of the book you mention how God comes to Job in his ashes. Why is this important for those who are desperate for hope?6. You mention the art of Kintsugi, how can this concept help us understand the trauma healing process?

Many people daydream, and this is an entirely normal part of life. However, when daydreaming is taken to the extreme and creates psychological distress or impairs functioning, it can be considered maladaptive and may require intervention. Trauma causes many issues for survivors, whether the trauma was sustained in one event or many events over many years. Cult survivors exhibit symptoms of trauma ranging from PTSD and trust issues to guilt and shame. Some trauma symptoms develop because of the defense mechanisms our minds employ to save us from the trauma. The DSM-V-TR lists brainwashing and cult coercive persuasion as a dissociative disorder. As an expert on dissociation and hypnosis, I wanted to learn from Eli Somer, Ph.D., professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Haifa School of Social Work. Professor Somer's interests have led him to research trauma and its effects. One effect of trauma can be dissociation, a psychological process in which a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or sense of identity, often as a response to trauma or stress. Professor Somer coined the term maladaptive daydreaming, a dissociative disorder characterized by excessive, immersive daydreaming that disrupts daily functioning and serves as an escape from reality. There are many other fascinating topics we cover including use of psychedelics, false memories, and non use of hypnosis. Come join us!

Are Hollywood's youngest stars in any less danger now than those of past eras? We pose this question to Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman's Claudia Lamb. At age 11 she was cast as Mary's daughter Heather Hartman in the groundbreaking Norman Lear soap parody. Claudia offers a front row view to her traumatic life as a 70s child star, at the mercy of her abusive parents and insight into how she gnawed through their shackles to pursue a radio journalism career and become a champion for today's child actors.Claudia was a gourmet meal ticket to her criminally exploitative parents who squandered all her money as she cranked out hundreds of commercials and print ads as a toddler who was shoved into the spotlight and dragged by her angry and brutal mother to audition after audition.Claudia candidly conveys the extent of the violence and terror inflicted by her narcissistically cruel mother as Claudia's labor, throughout her childhood supported the entire family while alienating her five brothers.Her talent and intelligence branded her as a go-to for commercial producers, where, as a stand-by, she frequently replaced the principal. Then at the age of 11, after being pummeled by her mother for a poor math grade, (working kids needed to keep their grades above a C average) Claudia was dragged to a cattle-call populated by every chubby, frizzy haired 13 year old in Hollywood. Claudia, a scrawny, pigtailed 11 year old nailed the reading and was instantly cast as Heather Hartman where she treasured her three years on the set of Norman Lear's outrageous, unprecedented soap satire.Claudia tells of marathon filming sessions, (five episodes a week) with no cue cards or teleprompters. (Louise Lasser would scribble her lines on the kitchen table!) She celebrates the immense talents of Mary Kay Place, Martin Mull and Fred Willard, and shares fabulous anecdotes about Donny and Jimmy Osmond (The Donny & Marie Show filmed next door) and how Claudia was nearly crushed by a mob of fans who spotted her chatting up some Osmonds and jumped a fence to get in on that action.Claudia is frank in her assessment of the adults who let her down as she endured her mother's abuse. Her bruises were in clear view of the wardrobe department. At the age of 18, Claudia put Hollywood in her rear view and became an award winning journalist who now speaks to parents about the reality and dangers posed to children by show business.Weezy offers a supporting view, recommending Demi Lovato's new documentary on Hulu and Disney + called Child Star. Fritz is captivated by the Hulu series adaptation of Patrick Radden Keefe's best-seller about “The Troubles” in Ireland, Say Nothing. And Claudia weighs in on recs with a doc called Casa Bonita Mi Amor on Paramount +.Path Points of Interest:Claudia Lamb on IMDBClaudia Lamb  on WikipediaClaudia's BlogClaudia Lamb on BlueskyClaudia Lamb on Twitter/XClaudia Lamb on InstagramChild Star on Hulu and Disney+Say Nothing on HuluCasa Bonita Mi Amor

In this episode of 'Masks Off for People Pleasers and Perfectionists,' host Kim Gross talks with Cindy Costley, a trauma survivor and an EBDT practitioner, who shares her personal journey of dealing with chronic illness. Cindy discusses her experiences with severe allergic reactions and how her physical symptoms were linked to unresolved trauma from her past. She explains the importance of listening to one's body and the process of desensitization for healing. The conversation underscores the connection between emotional health and physical well-being, encouraging listeners to honor their bodies and address underlying emotional causes of chronic symptoms. About Cindy:  My name is Cindy Costley, and I am a Trauma Survivor and Mast Cell Thriver, an Electromagnetic Body Desensitization Therapy (EBDT) Practitioner, and a Medical Intuitive.  For 34 years, I struggled with severe mast cell issues, often described as “the girl allergic to the world.” At the age of 48, I became extremely ill, embarking on an incredible healing journey that led to my full recovery and a completely new life, all because I learned that my "allergic reactions" were my body's way of keeping me safe after suffering from severe sexual trauma as a child. Learning to listen to my body, and the messages it has been trying to get me to listen to for years has been the biggest blessing. I am now asymptomatic and I help others heal through my EBDT (Electromagnetic Body Desensitization Technique). The key to healing is recoding the way our bodies respond to triggers and releasing trapped emotions that are causing mental and physical dysregulation in the body.  Connect with Cindy:  cindy@theunderlyinganswers.com / 805-946-2866 / www.theunderlyinganswers.com /  https://www.instagram.com/theunderlyinganswers/ / https://www.facebook.com/groups/theunderlyinganswers /   Connect with Kim: New Book: https://www.kimgrosscoaching.com/free-to-be.php TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kimgrosscoaching Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimgrosscoaching/ website: www.kimgrosscoaching.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kim.gross.104 Facebook Masks Off Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/masksoffcommunity YouTube:YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCaWJfO7ZFd4aYBX3e-clj9Q Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/2Et9BMqdFriIQ9bUxcfQeg Apple podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/masks-off/id1513846583 Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/notifications/?filter=all Unmasked Newsletter: http://subscribepage.io/masksoffnewsletter People-pleasing quiz: https://www.kimgrosscoaching.com/quiz.php

Greg answers questions about helping trauma survivors think through their trauma biblically, giving to the point where your family has to go without things they need, passages about God loving individuals, and assumptions about communication to bring to the study of language.   Topics: In light of the existence of the soul, do you have any advice on how to help trauma survivors think through what they've experienced biblically and see things from God's perspective? (03:00) What are your thoughts on people giving above and beyond a tithe to the church to the point where the family has to go without things they need? (25:00) Are there any passages that talk about God loving individuals personally as opposed to loving everyone in a general way? (36:00) What assumptions about communication do we need to bring to the study of language, particularly to American Sign Language and other sign languages?

Are you ready to break free from the emotional chains of childhood trauma and step into your true power?  In this podcast episode with Lisa A. Romano, we dive deep into the transformational journey of healing childhood trauma and why it's the most important work you'll ever do. Childhood trauma shapes our beliefs, our relationships, and the way we see ourselves and the world. Until we confront and heal these wounds, we may continue to live in survival mode—trapped by fear, lack, and feelings of unworthiness.

When we hear stories about injuries from violence at the hands of other people or in the face of disasters, we often hear about acute physical injuries but there is more to the story in terms of mental health. How can we best support patients who have suffered trauma? On this episode, we talk with Douglas Zatzick of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington.

In this episode, Rachael Clinton Chen and her husband Michael Chen dive into the importance of parenting with kindness—not just toward children, but toward ourselves. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or caregiver, it's common for past traumas to resurface when you're feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin.  Rachael and Michael openly discuss the joys and challenges they've faced in their new marriage, blending families, raising young children, and navigating a pandemic, all of which have both triggered old wounds and offered opportunities for healing. This candid conversation is an invitation to explore how grief can be a catalyst for growth and how choosing kindness over harshness creates space for deeper connection and hope for yourself and for future generations.

EPISODE 414 - Jack Ori - Fiction With A Purpose - transgender author who writes LGBTQ+ mysteries starring trauma survivorsI've been writing stories ever since my grandmother gifted me a typewriter when I was six. My first story was a two-page Nancy Drew fanfiction—to my young mind, it made sense for her to find the bad guy hiding under the bed!As a kid, I loved mysteries. My favorite series was The Three Investigators, which is sadly out of print today. I was especially fascinated by all the secret codes the protagonists used and how Jupiter Jones (what a name!) would use his acting skills to pretend he was stupid when he needed to get information. And of course, there would always be a scene near the end where the bad guys kidnapped one or more of the boys to try to keep their secrets hidden.Although I read and write stories for teens and adults now, I still love a good kidnapping scene. I also love writing powerful villains who will do anything to keep their secrets hidden, falsely accused people (sometimes framed by their enemies!) who must race against time to clear their names before they end up in jail, and underdog heroes who are determined to find and expose horrifying truths despite the potential consequences.Many of my darkest stories come from my devastating personal experiences with trauma, drug addiction and abuse. I had a fairly normal childhood. But when I grew up I lived and loved a drug addict and was lucky to escape with my life. He was not—he died of an overdose two days after I moved across the country. It was another five years before I learned I was both autistic and transgender, which shattered my worldview in some ways even though it made everything that came before make sense.I had many careers while I was trying to figure it all out, most recently as a licensed master social worker. I've worked with traumatized people, drug or alcohol addicts, and people impacted by the criminal justice system.One summer I worked at an alternative court system in New York City. It opened my eyes to the ways racism and homo/transphobia, trauma, and drug use often intersect to create a “justice” system that is stacked against certain groups of people. For all these reasons, I write mystery/thrillers that not only keep people guessing but also inspire and empower trauma survivors. All of my characters have experienced traumatic violence but don't let that stop them from fighting for justice.I love it when readers tell me that my books helped them heal. I also tell the stories I do to advocate for real-world change to the criminal justice system.https://authorjackori.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/

Hey, Sister-friend

The last three episodes of the podcast have focused on Diane Petrella's fantastic book, Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors. The core of the information in these episodes has been trauma resulting from childhood neglect or abuse. There is a great deal of misunderstanding when it comes to what trauma is exactly … what kinds of actions or behaviors define neglect and what specifically counts as abuse? Far too many people who have experienced neglect or abuse as children are not emotionally ready or prepared to acknowledge this and remain in denial about having experienced either themselves. And one of the worst consequences of having been neglected or abused in childhood is becoming an adult who repeats the pattern in that they often neglect or abuse themselves and sometimes others, as well. Let's dig in and get some clarification on these murky topics and see how, if left unaddressed, childhood neglect and trauma can interfere with weight maintenance following surgery and can decrease overall happiness.Resources:BariAfterare: www.bariaftercare.comConnie Stapleton PhD website: www.conniestapletonphd.comBariAftercare website: https://www.conniestapletonphd.com/bariaftercareBariAftercare Facebook page (for members only): https://www.facebook.com/groups/BariAftercareKevin Stephens: Your Bariatric Buddy   https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourbariatricbuddy/peopleInstagram: @cale101 (Caleshia Haynes)Instagram: @therealbariboss (Tabitha Johnson)Instagram @drsusanmitchell (Dr. Susan Mitchell)Instagram: @lauraleepreston (Laura Preston)ProCare Vitamins (10% off with code ConnieStapleton)Please subscribe to the show and rate it on Apple Podcasts, download free information at www.conniestapletonphd.com, and follow me on Twitter (@cstapletonphd), Instagram (@cstapletonphd), YouTube, LinkedIn, and on Facebook.

It seems like people are being tested more than ever, myself included, on what we will tolerate and put up with from other people. It feels like a constant battle if you're a trauma survivor, or victim of physical abuse. Violations when you're small can translate into trouble setting boundaries as an adult, feeling like a doormat or pushover, feeling angry and not knowing how to make people respect your needs. Enjoy this most recent episode on boundary setting with clear and easy steps to interact for the least amount of frustration for both you and other people.
