Healing Hearts: Dr. Jaime Romo on Recovery from Child Sexual Abuse

We need to have more of these places where people can get education and learn about how trauma works and what it is, and that alone would be helpful for them to understand, kind of where they are and how they might go forward and then have different ways of people reconnecting with their bodies, taking care of themselves, having massage, having reiki, having meditation, that kind of stuff.
Ever thought about the profound journey of healing after enduring child sexual abuse? This episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now' brings you a deeply moving conversation with Dr. Jaime Romo, an educator, consultant, author, and Minister.

Dr.
Romo emphasizes the importance of education about trauma, explaining how it can help survivors make sense of their experiences and chart a course for healing.
