Number one is educating the public, especially as related to getting society over the taboo, and discussing childhood sexual abuse, presenting the facts that show child abuse to be a pandemic worldwide problem that affects everyone, and, believe me, it does.
Ever wondered how someone transforms their pain into a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Janet Bentley from Scottsdale, Arizona, opens up about her incredible journey of healing from childhood sexual abuse. Janet is not just a survivor; she’s an author, speaker, and the founder of Courageous Survivors, an organization dedicated to supporting adult survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA).
Her best-selling memoir, 'Don't Expect Me To Cry', has been a source of inspiration for many, shedding light on the harrowing experiences she endured and her path to recovery. Janet’s story is divided into three parts, each reflecting significant stages in her life, offering listeners a comprehensive look at her journey. She shares the emotional scars left by the abuse and emphasizes the importance of therapy, medication, and community in the healing process.
Throughout the conversation, Janet tackles the taboo surrounding childhood sexual abuse, stressing the need for open discussion and education to break the cycle of silence. She also highlights the power of laughter and collective healing, challenging the shame and self-forgiveness struggles many survivors face. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the profound impact of CSA and the strength it takes to overcome it.
