ep.32 Overcoming Childhood Trauma with Dr. Raj Setthuraju

When I reflect back on the podcast, today's episode is the most honest, emotional, and raw conversation I have ever had with a guest. Today we are going to tackle the difficult conversation of the trauma caused by those that suffer sexual abuse as a child. I’m joined today by Dr. Raj who is a professor of Criminal Justice at Metropolitan State University, nationally known for his work on bias, a victim of sexual abuse as a child, and a dear friend.   Raj shares his experiences as a victim of sexual abuse as a child which led to a suicide attempt. But you will hear his recovery, transformation, how he now forgives his abuser, and how this life-changing experience has inspired his work in criminal justice.    Suicide Prevention Hotline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ (https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ ) Connect with Simon   Podcast: http://apple.co/3nnvSxm (http://apple.co/3nnvSxm )  IG: https://instagram.com/simonosamoh/ (https://instagram.com/simonosamoh/  ) Twitter: https://twitter.com/SimonOsamoh (https://twitter.com/SimonOsamoh) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhoIBecame/ (https://www.facebook.com/WhoIBecame/ )  YouTube: http://bit.ly/3d52vKN (http://bit.ly/3d52vKN)   Simon's Books: https://amzn.to/3icJ8D0 (https://amzn.to/3icJ8D0 ) Connect with Raj   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raj-sethuraju-a0161ba4/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/raj-sethuraju-a0161ba4/) Teaching: https://www.metrostate.edu/about/directory/raj-sethuraju (https://www.metrostate.edu/about/directory/raj-sethuraju)
