We have to educate our children so that they can be safer... we don't live in an innocent world. Okay, we never did, but it's getting worse.
What happens when you combine personal experience with professional expertise? In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now' (SCAN), Dr. Jaime Romo, an educator, consultant, author, and minister from San Diego, shares his journey and insights on healing from child sexual abuse. Dr. Romo, a survivor of clergy abuse, brings a unique perspective to the table, blending his personal experiences with his professional knowledge to help others on their path to recovery.
He emphasizes the importance of prevention and healing, particularly in religious settings where abuse can often go unreported. Dr. Romo's workbook, 'Healing the Sexually Abused Heart: A Workbook for Survivors, Thrivers, and Supporters', integrates various disciplines and has been a crucial tool in his journey to becoming a certified Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) facilitator. In this episode, he discusses the significance of educating children about safety and the uncomfortable yet necessary conversations around inappropriate touch.
As he points out, “we don't live in an innocent world... it's getting worse”. The conversation also touches on anger management, a common issue for survivors of child abuse. Dr. Romo and host Bill Murray delve into how anger can manifest and the importance of being present with one's emotions. They explore the idea that while bottling up anger or exploding with it can be understandable in a fight-flight-survival mode, finding healthy ways to process it is essential.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Romo and Bill Murray share their personal stories, offering hope and inspiration to those on their own healing journeys. They stress the importance of finding joy amidst trauma and the power of belonging to oneself before reaching out to help others. As Dr. Romo says, “we can belong to ourselves and then be able to reach out and be of service to others”.
This episode of SCAN is a treasure trove of insights and strategies for healing from child abuse, making it an invaluable resource for survivors, loved ones, and professionals in the field.
