They highlight how unresolved childhood trauma can wreak havoc on adult relationships and stress the importance of addressing these issues early on.
The conversation touches on the high prevalence of child abuse and the devastating effects it has on victims, many of whom remain silent due to fear and shame. Randy and Cathy share personal anecdotes and professional insights, making a compelling case for why abuse should be discussed openly throughout the year, not just during awareness months. They emphasise the importance of education and vigilance among adults to help prevent abuse and support victims.
The hosts also discuss the emotional turmoil that survivors carry into adulthood, often leading to destructive behaviours if not properly addressed. Listeners are urged to be proactive—whether by reporting suspected abuse or offering support to those who confide in them. The episode is a call to action for parents, teachers, coaches, and anyone in a position of trust to be vigilant and supportive.
