We need to own a narrative of our story.
What happens when the silence surrounding trauma is finally broken? In this compelling episode of the World's Best Trauma Recovery Podcast, Anna Maydonova sits down with Perry Power, a storyteller, coach, and activist, to explore this very question. Perry shares his harrowing experience of being sexually abused by his grandfather at just 10 years old and the heavy burden of secrecy that followed.
His own father urged him to keep quiet, perpetuating a toxic cycle of silence that hid a decades-long cover-up of child abuse within the Roman Catholic Church. Perry's journey from self-sabotage to self-empowerment is nothing short of inspiring. After living in secrecy for over 12 years, he made the courageous decision to break his silence, not just for himself but for countless others suffering in silence.
His story underscores the devastating impact of keeping trauma hidden and the incredible liberation that comes from speaking out. Throughout the episode, Perry emphasizes the importance of owning your narrative. He shares how turning his wounds into scars has not only aided his own healing but has also empowered others to do the same.
His activism and storytelling have resonated with many, as evidenced by his significant following on TikTok and features in prominent media outlets like The Sun, MTV, Sky, and TEDx. This episode is a powerful reminder that while trauma can be a dark and isolating experience, breaking the silence can pave the way for healing and hope. Perry’s message is clear: we all have the power to reclaim our stories and transform our pain into purpose.
If you or someone you know has been affected by trauma or abuse, this episode offers both inspiration and practical advice on how to begin the journey towards recovery.
