About this podcast

Stop Child Abuse Now

NAASCA ORG

Monday to Friday's "Stop Child Abuse Now" (SCAN) feature trauma informed HOSTs and Co-hosts and respected child abuse prevention, intervention and recovery advocates. They're all volunteers members of the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA), a 501(c)3. Founded in 2009, NAASCA.org was originally a grassroots effort. It was launched based on our founder Bill Murray's personal life experienced. Bill wrote, "Very few adults escape years of severe childhood sexual abuse, pre-pubescent X-rated photography, sex trafficking, and a two week long kidnapping." He continued. "But I have, and for some 35 years I've been in recovery from its devastating effects." After years of operating as a grassroots effort, NAASCA became a public charity in 2015 .. a 501(c)3 .. but we receive no grants or outside support, and belong to no other organization. There are no dues or fees. Our MISSION is entirely self-sustaining through the volunteer contributions of our members. The single purpose is to address issues related to childhood abuse and trauma including sexual assault, violent or physical abuse, emotional traumas and neglect from two specific perspectives: 1) educating the public, and 2) offering hope for healing and services to adult survivors. There are now nearly 3000 BlogTalkRadio shows, podcasts in the ever-growing library. Join us five-nights-a-week (Mon to Fri), at 8pm EST (so 7pm CEN, 6pm MTN, 5pm PAC) for solution-oriented discussions about the many issues of child abuse and trauma. The shows always include panel discussions and call-in participation.

Regla_girl: From Ritualistic Abuse to Resilience and Healing

“Society is not ready to hear what we know. You know, a lot of people are not used to getting bullied or called names either. And you know, then this will close down and that will close down.”

What does it take to transform unimaginable pain into a journey of healing and resilience? Meet Regla_girl from San Diego, California, a long-time member of the NAASCA family and a survivor of ritualistic sexual abuse. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', she opens up about her harrowing experiences and the toll it took on her life and relationships.

Raised in an Irish Catholic community, Regla_girl and her siblings were subjected to abuse by women in their own family, including her mother and Aunt Lori. The trauma led her to alcohol and drug use as she tried to numb the pain, becoming a comedic bully to mask her true feelings. By the time she was 18, her alcohol dependency had become a significant problem.

Despite having a successful career, she struggled with severe eating disorders, fluctuating between nearly 400 lbs and 125 lbs. It wasn't until relationship issues forced her to confront her past that she began her path to recovery. Through community support and alternative healing methods, Regla_girl found a way to reclaim her life. This episode underscores the importance of speaking out about child abuse and fostering a supportive society for survivors.

Join the conversation and learn how awareness and active prevention can make a difference.
