All of us that have suffered any kind of trauma in our lives or in our walk are survivors and we all have soul wounds. And the more we can get together with people that understand us, the more we can understand ourselves.
How does one transform years of suffering into a mission of hope and advocacy? In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Barbara Joy Hansen takes the spotlight. Barbara, an international award-winning author and co-host, shares her profound journey from enduring severe childhood abuse to becoming a passionate advocate for survivors everywhere. Her story is not just about surviving but thriving, and it's bound to resonate with anyone who's faced similar battles.
Barbara opens up about the layers of trauma she endured, from incest and clergy sexual assault to rape and the complex PTSD that followed. But what truly stands out is her message of finding freedom through sharing. By speaking out and connecting with others, Barbara discovered the healing power of community and camaraderie.
The episode dives deep into the importance of modeling healthy behaviors, acknowledging mistakes, and seeking forgiveness, illustrated by a poignant story of a father at his daughter's piano recital. Barbara also tackles the often-taboo subject of abuse within religious communities and the urgent need for greater awareness and action against human trafficking. She emphasizes the unique challenges male survivors face and the necessity for better support systems. Throughout the conversation, Barbara underscores the transformative power of personal stories.
She encourages listeners to share their own experiences, despite the risks, as a step towards healing. Her own journey is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and connection. If you or someone you know has been affected by child abuse, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical insights for the healing journey.
