Fear, disconnection and hiding in the shadows is what fuels the cancer of shame, and I know this fear all too well.
James Powell’s story is not for the faint-hearted, but it’s one that needs to be heard. In episode 17 of 'This Little Light of Mine', James opens up about some of the darkest moments in his life. He bravely shares his experiences with sexual assault, rape, and the ensuing trauma and dissociation. This episode is a raw and honest look at the impact of these experiences on his journey towards healing and self-love.
James doesn’t shy away from the tough topics. He discusses his early sexual exploration and how it spiraled into trauma and abuse, shaping a distorted view of love and relationships. The shame that followed pushed him deeper into hiding, making it hard to connect with himself and others. Yet, amidst the darkness, James found a way to rediscover love and begin healing.
This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-acceptance and the dangers of shame, especially for LGBTQ+ individuals. James emphasizes that everyone deserves to love and be loved, regardless of their past. His story is a call to support LGBTQ+ children, ensuring they grow up knowing they are worthy of love. James’ courage in sharing his story is both inspiring and heart-wrenching.
He encourages listeners to be gentle with themselves, take breaks if needed, and seek professional help if they are triggered by the content. This episode is not just about recounting past traumas; it’s about breaking free from shame and embracing the healing power of love.
