Bill Murray: Healing Childhood Trauma Through Community and 12 Steps

The most healing thing that we have in our toolkit, you know, survivors of child abuse stay victimized, you know, for a long time. You know, and that's what we want people to understand.
Bill Murray’s story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now' (SCAN), Bill, the founder of the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA), shares his incredible journey from severe childhood abuse to recovery.

Bill’s experiences are nothing short of harrowing—sexually abused by clerics, subjected to pre-pubescent pornography, and even kidnapped for two weeks. Yet, his story is also one of resilience. At 30, he found solace in Alcoholics Anonymous, which became a cornerstone in his recovery. He passionately believes that the 12 Step program can be a powerful tool for healing from childhood trauma. Throughout the episode, Bill emphasizes the importance of speaking out about trauma and finding a supportive community.
The discussion covers a range of topics, from handling PTSD triggers to navigating the complex landscape of religious hypocrisy. The hosts also touch on the beauty of nature and its role in healing.
