From the smallest child to an aging adult, we all believe that we are strong. But it's only when that strength is tested that we truly know our limits. But surviving domestic violence requires a different type of strength. Join me and my very special guest, @Teresa L'Heureux, on this week's episode as we follow her journey from victim to victory . https://lnkd.in/eYYstZew #tmgtellmesumthingoodpodcast #domesticviolencesurvior #domesticviolenceprevention #domesticviolenceawareness #liveagain

For survivors, the decision to share their stories with the public is one fraught with complexities and potential consequences. In this episode I’ll help examine and explain the pros and cons of someone telling their sexual assault story to the public, or anyone for that matter, considering both the individual's perspective and the broader societal implications. https://lnkd.in/gg9VEQ7Y

Before creating this documentary series and getting into my relationships, I had no idea about red flags and that such things existed, except for the times my body felt uncomfortable in certain circumstances, which I couldn’t explain. As a people pleaser, I tended to block all of those triggers and overlook them, telling myself that I was too sensitive or trying to rationalize that there was nothing wrong with this person—they were charming and had a sense of humor. But over time, not listening to those early body sensations made me realize that my body always sends me signals trying to communicate something. My job is to listen to it. If I don’t, I repeat the pattern of being in my head instead of being in my body and my senses. Breaking the pattern of being a people pleaser means being able to listen to your body and act based on what your body tells you. Even now, I still struggle with this many times as there are so many signals coming from our body, sometimes from past traumas and a lack of trust. Have you ever ignored red flags in a relationship? What made you overlook them?

There are certain elements of violent crimes that lend traumatic events to sensational media coverage: - When a victim doesn’t fit the “typical” victim profile - The availability of surveillance or cell phone video that gives us access we wouldn’t usually have - When seemingly shocking things, such as dismemberment, are done to the victim’s body The list goes on. But what is the impact on the survivors of these crimes? What extra cost must they bear when any dignity they may have otherwise been afforded goes out the window in an effort to get “the story”? Jan Canty was the first homicide survivor to respond to my survey when I began researching the impact of the media on trauma survivors some 3.5 years ago. It has been nearly four decades since her husband’s sensational murder in Detroit. But the methods she described reporters using to “get the story” are all too familiar today. And what a shame that is. We must do better as journalists, as victim service providers, as investigators, to support trauma survivors through onslaughts of media coverage.

Very interesting snippet on some research as to why adults may not report child abuse. Children need adults that feel confident in “what to know, and what to do about it” Prevention Starts with Parents has free resources, a workbook, and trainings to sign up for to help with this! https://lnkd.in/gwzBnPVg
