But I, you know, I just remind people that the prices are way higher now, and along with the cost of the flight, there's also the cost of a motel if I'm too far away. Most of the time I don't do something like that.
What if the darkest parts of your past could be the foundation for a brighter future? Bill Murray, founder of the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA), shares his compelling journey in this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now'. As a survivor of severe childhood abuse, including sexual assault by clerics and a two-week kidnapping, Bill’s story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
His recovery, rooted in the 12 Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, showcases the power of community and structured support in overcoming trauma. For over three and a half decades, Bill has been clean and sober, finding solace and tools for recovery through the 12 Steps. He believes that this process can help others heal from child abuse trauma and lead fulfilling lives. The episode features a Q&A session where Bill, alongside other survivor-professionals, tackles topics brought up by call-in participants.
These discussions offer valuable insights into trauma-informed care, the importance of finding the right therapist or support group, and the role of empathy in recovery. Bill also highlights NAASCA's various programs and resources, such as online support groups, educational initiatives, and volunteer opportunities like the Lamplighters Movement and the NASCA Ambassador Program. He underscores the significance of community involvement and changing child protection laws to prevent abuse.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt stories, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by childhood trauma or interested in supporting survivors.
