Prayed Upon, Breaking Free From Therapist Abuse with Amy Nordhues

I am still in vacation mode and have taken a little break from recording and sharing, however I was inspired to record a short video after I shared a post over on IG which says "Feeling Safe is Essential To Healing." I realized a little video may be helpful to elaborate just a tiny bit. Should be back to recording sometime in August.  https://youtu.be/PayC5jfGKvQ

Adult Children Of Emotionally Immature Parents - With Dr Lindsay C. Gibson

I had the absolute honor and pleasure of talking with author,counsellor, educator, activist and childhood sexual abuse survivor Rosie McMahan. I decided to share this one via video (available through spotify platform &amp; youtube). Rosie is the author of Fortunate Daughter: A Memoir of Reconciliation. Rosie and her family were one of the first families to work with renowned Trauma expert and psychiatrist Dr. Judith Herman and therapist Emily Schatzow in the 1970's. Dr. Judith Herman understood the need for survivors to take back their power and speak their truth about the impact of the abuse. With their guidance and support Rosie participated in family confrontation and disclosure where she gave her "Victim Statement." Listen as we discuss her memoir and questions around disclosure, empowerment and healing.About the book:Fortunate Daughter: A Memoir of Reconciliation. Though the book begins as an all-too-common story of childhood sexual abuse, it gradually becomes a rare story of how one person heals from that early trauma. In this intimate first-person narrative, McMahan offers the reader a portrait of misery, abuse, and hurt, followed by the difficult and painful task of healing.  It’s a journey that, in the end, reveals the complicated and nuanced venture of true reconciliation and the freedom that comes along with it. Fortunate Daughter: A Memoir of Reconciliation is a first prize winner in the 2021 Chanticleer International Journey Book Awards.First, a daughter, sister, wife, and mother, McMahan identifies as an irreverent and opinionated white cisgendered woman, who is also a survivor, a feminist, writer, educator, counselor, attending Quaker, community activist, and avid botanical enthusiast. Her poetry has been published in several journals. She works at MA Mentoring Partnership and owns and operates Optimistic Options, a private practice rooted in trauma informed care and restorative justice principles.

Anxiety from a Somatic Lens With Ilene Smith

I found this podcast searching for something more. I was diagnosed CPTSD and for over a year went to various doctors and tried various therapies. I tried many meds some of which made me suicidal. Finally I found this podcast. Each episode gives me hope and faith in myself knowing I have the power to help myself change. This podcast has been so helpful to me, (before the pandemic but also during) it is a safe place I can go to listen and learn about bettering myself. I have had many insights, breakthroughs, and an over all sense of peace that I was unable to attain prior to finding this beautiful podcast. Thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart Monique! ❤️💪
