You may remember Bobbie Becerra from her previous episode on Intimated Survivor, where she recounted her life and childhood abuse. She opened up about how she broke her own generational chains, and stopped her cycle of trauma. One of the essential steps in that was to let go of the societal pressure placed on survivors to forgive their abusers. Instead, Bobbie has adopted a method of reconciliation, where she recognizes the multiple truths she is living at one time. We share how our religious upbringing instilled the notion that to forgive was our duty, why our trauma interfered with that ability to forgive, and the natural human emotion that is anger. Topics/Triggers:  Christianity and Catholicism The Pressure to Forgive Childhood Abuse and Familial Sexual Assault Anger The Power of Reconciliation  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you took anything away from today’s podcast, please share it with someone who may need to hear it. And if you really want to support the podcast please give us a rate/review. If you or anyone you know is suffering through trauma contact the National Sexual Assault hotline at 1-800-656-4673 or online for 24/7 support.

The Difference Between Forgiveness and Reconciliation with Bobbie Becerra

Bobbie Becerra is the author of Learning to Take It: How I Learned to Accept Abuse  where she recounts her life and the childhood abuse that impacted her journey. A Los Angeles native raised by her mother, Bobbie thought it was normal for her and her brother to suffer through physical and sexual abuse. She talks about how difficult it was to become aware of the generational trauma and actually break the cycle of trauma. It was only after 30 years of being trapped in a constant state of abuse that she found a way out through writing her memoir. Now a motivational speaker and storyteller, Bobbie hopes to spark change through open discussion and personal connection. You can follow her on her website, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Topics/Triggers:  Childhood abuse, both sexual and physical Generational trauma and being in a trauma cycle How the brain and body holds memories and experiences Reconnecting with her brother and fellow survivor through writing Dealing with trauma triggers without shame Confidentiality vs. Secrecy Grooming, and how an abused child can grow into an abused adult The foster system Mandatory reporters The fear of being taken from your family  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you took anything away from today’s podcast, please share it with someone who may need to hear it.
