WARNING: Sensitive and potentially triggering content is discussed in this episode.
Lyn talks to Sarah Jackson, a therapist who specialises in Dynamic Transformational Release Therapy, for a fascinating and thought-provoking conversation about how survivors of sexual abuse can heal and move past trauma and begin to thrive in the world once more.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Children and young people who are being abused sexually, are often groomed and conditioned by their attackers, to believe that what is taking place is normal. This is one of the many horrific effects of sexual abuse.
- Many feel terrified into silence, threatened with punishment if they tell anyone, and made to feel as though the abuse is somehow their own fault.
- An effective way of switching off that fight, flight or freeze feeling, is by activating our parasympathetic nervous system.
- When we forgive those who hurt us (it doesn't mean we condone their behaviour) it means we are releasing ourselves from the pain they have given us. It is a way of taking back our power so we can lead happy successful lives.
