The fact that more people are coming forward about whatever it is they struggle with makes it less scary for others, and I see that as directly resulting in people stopping the cycle of abuse, because I think stigma is the biggest hurdle to overcome.
Dr. Peace Amadi brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour'. As a clinical psychologist, she has dedicated her career to aiding girls who have faced the horrors of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. In her conversation with host Paul Gilmartin, Dr. Amadi delves into her work with The Ruby Project, an initiative that uses group workshops and artistic expression to help survivors heal.
The episode provides a heartfelt exploration of the profound effects of sexual trauma on young girls and the crucial role that support networks and therapy play in their recovery. Dr. Amadi discusses how cognitive-behavioral therapy can aid in the healing process and highlights the transformative power of art in helping these girls process their emotions.
Despite the heavy subject matter, the episode is imbued with a sense of hope and empowerment, showcasing the resilience of survivors and the impactful work being done to support them. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of sexual trauma and the innovative approaches being used to foster healing and growth.
