Witness the remarkable journey of Tanya Joy as she shares her story of survival and healing on the Trauma Informed Church podcast. Tanya, a survivor of domestic abuse, opens up about her experiences and the moment she realised her husband's behaviour was abusive. Her candid discussion with host Suzanne Burns reveals the subtle yet powerful signs of emotional and psychological abuse that often go unnoticed.
Tanya recounts the pivotal moment when she took a quiz about narcissistic behaviour, leading to an awakening that spurred her into action. Despite the lack of physical violence, she recognised the manipulation and control exerted over her life. With support from a compassionate counsellor, Tanya navigated her path to freedom, eventually escaping with her children and leaving a note for her husband.
Tanya's story highlights the importance of understanding various forms of abuse beyond the physical, such as emotional, financial, and spiritual abuse. She emphasises the need for education and awareness within church communities to better support survivors. Her book, "The Survivor Revolution," serves as a guide for those reclaiming their lives after abuse, offering insights into recognising red flags and finding healing.
Suzanne and Tanya discuss the role of faith in overcoming trauma and how churches can become more trauma-informed to assist survivors effectively. Tanya's coaching programme provides ongoing support and resources for individuals seeking healing and stability. Her message is clear: abuse is abuse, regardless of its form, and survivors deserve understanding and compassion. Ready to be inspired by Tanya's journey?
