Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2514

In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', we explore the profound journey of healing and recovery from child abuse, featuring insights from Felicia L Reed, a trauma-informed Recovery Coach. Felicia shares her personal experience of surviving abuse from the tender age of five until she was fifty-one, when she began her path to healing. Utilizing coaching and self-healing techniques, she transformed her life and founded 'Put It In Perspective', where she now empowers others with tools for recovery.

The discussion delves into the distinction between grief and depression, especially in the context of recovery. Felicia suggests that many people might be experiencing grief over lost lives or dreams, rather than depression, and emphasizes the importance of accepting these feelings as part of the healing process. The conversation also highlights the critical role of empowerment and sharing survivor experiences to foster resilience and hope.

Hosted by Tammy Schofstall and Laura, the episode is an open mic forum inviting listeners to call in and engage with the topics. The hosts and guests encourage open discussion about the challenges faced by adult survivors of child abuse, aiming to break societal taboos and provide a supportive community. The National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NASCA) is highlighted as a vital resource for education and recovery, offering numerous services and support for survivors.

With insights from survivor-professionals like Felicia, NASCA works tirelessly to address issues related to childhood trauma and abuse. The show concludes with a heartfelt wish for wellness and happiness for all survivors and a call to action for listeners to support each other in their recovery journeys.
