In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now,' Carol Levine hosts a compelling conversation with David Brown, a former paramedic and police officer from Duluth, Minnesota. David recounts his harrowing experiences as a child abuse survivor, detailing the daily beatings and starvation he endured at the hands of his parents from the age of four. The abuse continued until his father sought treatment at a state mental hospital when David was ten.
Despite the cessation of physical abuse, the damage to trust and safety lingered, influencing David's reckless behavior in youth. David's story is one of resilience and transformation. He turned his traumatic experiences into a powerful series of six books, with a seventh in progress. These books, exceeding 300 pages each, narrate his life story and focus on healing and recovery. David asserts the importance of offering hope and showing survivors that they can lead fulfilling lives.
Carol Levine underscores the mission of NASCA (National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse) to address and educate the public about child abuse and trauma. NASCA aims to break the societal taboo surrounding discussions of childhood sexual abuse and offers myriad services to support adult survivors in their journey toward healing. David's involvement with NASCA and his commitment to spreading awareness through podcasts and books reflect his desire to help others find their path to recovery.
He emphasizes the value of diverse recovery methods and encourages survivors to explore various options for healing. The episode concludes with heartfelt gratitude from Carol and the NASCA community for David's contributions and dedication to the cause. His story serves as a beacon of hope, reminding listeners that they are not alone and that healing is within reach.
