Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 3059

Thanksgiving isn't just about turkey and pie; it's also a time to reflect on gratitude, especially for those on the path to recovery. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', NAASCA founder Bill Murray takes center stage to explore how gratitude can be a powerful ally in overcoming childhood trauma. Murray, who has spent over 35 years recovering from severe childhood abuse, brings a wealth of personal experience and wisdom to the table.

He engages with listeners, answering their questions and discussing topics they've brought up, all through the lens of gratitude. What makes this episode special is its interactive nature. Listeners call in, share their thoughts, and ask questions, creating a dynamic and supportive environment. Murray is joined by various co-hosts who are survivor-professionals, adding their trauma-informed perspectives to the mix. These discussions aren't just theoretical; they're grounded in real-life experiences and practical advice.

One standout moment is when Murray shares his own journey, saying, 'The longer you stay around, the longer you work on yourself, the better you are and the closer you become to the way you should have been able to act, but it was interrupted by the trauma that you experienced as a child'. This powerful statement underscores the episode's main theme: gratitude isn't just a feel-good emotion; it's a tool for healing and resilience.

The episode also highlights NAASCA's ongoing efforts to support survivors. From volunteering opportunities to fundraising initiatives and awareness campaigns, NAASCA is deeply committed to making a difference. They even discuss the benefits of animal therapy and service dogs in reducing trauma.
