Geraldine Cullum: Finding Strength in the Face of Childhood Trauma

Our words do make a difference in those lives around us.
Ever wondered how one can find the strength to overcome a dark past? Geraldine Cullum from Indianapolis, Indiana, shares her harrowing yet inspiring journey on this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now'. As a child, Geraldine endured unimaginable abuse from her grandfather, a trauma that left deep scars and led her into a spiral of addiction and self-doubt. Her attempts to speak out were met with disbelief and threats, leaving her feeling isolated and silenced.
But Geraldine's story doesn't end there. Through sheer resilience and the support of her sister Barbara Henson, she found a path to recovery and healing. Geraldine opens up about her struggles with sexual addiction, alcohol, and food addiction, and how she moved from one recovery group to another before finding solace in Barbara's recovery program. This episode isn't just about Geraldine's personal battle; it's a powerful conversation about the importance of speaking out and seeking support.
The hosts from the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA) bring their wealth of knowledge on child abuse prevention, intervention, and recovery. They discuss common warning signs of abuse, the impact of family dynamics, and the role of trauma-informed care. Listeners will gain practical tips on finding support and taking steps towards healing. Geraldine's story is a testament to the power of storytelling and community in promoting awareness and advocacy for change.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by childhood trauma or looking to support survivors in their journey towards healing.
