5 Ways to Heal From the Shattering Consequences of Abuse w/ John R. Miles EP 172

Over the past several weeks, I have interviewed several guests on the Passion Struck podcast who have experienced the consequences of abuse and neglect. These include my recent interviews with Kara Robinson Chamberlain, who was kidnapped by a serial killer and sexually assaulted. Carrington Smith, who was emotionally abused and neglected for years by her parents and sexually abused while she was in college. I also interviewed Rabbi Avremi Zippel, who was sexually abused for ten years during childhood. I created this podcast to bring more awareness to how to heal from abuse and face the future with hope.

Why We Must Heal From the Shattering Consequences of Abuse Like the stories of Kara Robinson Chamberlain, Carrington Smith, and Avremi Zipel, many people go through life with profound, unhealed impairments they’ve suffered from prior traumatic experiences caused by abuse. Abuse is a widespread issue that has touched and still touches many people, both children, and adults. But, you will also hear that victims experience hope following the abuse and rediscover purpose as they recover from it. We will discuss critical aspects of trauma and abuse awareness and, more importantly, dive into five tips for how a victim can pursue healing. 0:00 Announcements and teaser4:16 Experiencing deep, unhealed consequences of abuse5:56 The forms of abuse10:51 Why does abuse happen?12:21 How common are the consequences of abuse?13:43 Consequences of abuse on victims15:14 Dos and don'ts for handling an abusive situation16:14 Five ways to heal from the consequences of abuse21:31 Give yourself the time and grace to heal22:54 Wrap up and synthesis Show Discussion Questions How do people find hope after experiencing the consequences of abuse?How prevalent is abuse in the U.S. and worldwide?Why is abuse never the victims fault?Why should you not bury your emotions around past trauma?What are the different types of abuse?Why is the way we approach our healing and the choices we make so important?What are your key takeaways from today’s episode?How can you apply them to your life?What have you learned about overcoming the consequences of abuse?
