We need to break the taboo and talk about child abuse prevention, intervention, and recovery. By sharing our stories and insights, we can help others cope and heal from the trauma.
What happens when a childhood filled with unimaginable trauma transforms into a life dedicated to advocacy and healing? In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now' (SCAN), Barbara Joy Hansen, a survivor-professional, shares her harrowing journey from victim to advocate. Growing up in Milford, Massachusetts, Barbara endured severe abuse at the hands of her grandfather, a youth pastor, and later faced sexual addiction and PTSD. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of turning pain into purpose.
Barbara's award-winning memoir, 'Listen to the Cry of the Child', sheds light on her experiences and her relentless pursuit of healing. Today, she facilitates the 'Beauty Out of Ashes' support group and has been featured on various media platforms, including the 'Dr. Oz Show'. Her humanitarian work has even taken her to the Philippines, where she continues to make an impact. This episode is a Q&A call-in discussion, making it interactive and engaging for listeners.
Barbara and other survivor-professionals field questions and tackle topics brought up by participants, offering trauma-informed perspectives. They delve into the importance of addressing absent fathers, the role of faith in recovery, and the challenges of overcoming addiction. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on coping with childhood trauma, this episode is a must-listen. Barbara's journey underscores that healing is possible, and support is available.
