What happens when buried memories of trauma resurface? In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Nancy Dahlhauser bravely shares her story of survival and recovery. At just eight years old, Nancy was raped by her abusive, alcoholic father. For years, she repressed these harrowing memories until her late twenties when her own daughter turned eight, triggering the painful recollections. At the time, Nancy was living what seemed like a normal life as a wife, mother, and teacher.
But her world was turned upside down as she began to confront her past. Nancy's journey through therapy and healing is nothing short of inspiring. She found solace in writing and creating art, which became crucial tools in her recovery. In 2008, she self-published her memoir 'Fallout; memoir of a freckle face freak'. Though the process of writing was difficult and met with resistance from some family members, it became a significant part of her healing.
In this heartfelt conversation, Nancy discusses the importance of reporting abuse, seeking support, and using creative outlets for healing. She also touches on the personal losses she endured, including the deaths of her brother, mother, husband, and sister, which added layers to her grief and recovery process. Join the hosts and panelists as they create a safe space for survivors to share their experiences and offer practical advice for those on their own healing journeys.
