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.

Dr. Jaime Romo: Transforming Trauma into Healing

“That's how we become more whole and healthier, because people know their own experience of suffering and have compassion. They don't want others to have the same or worse.”

Ever wondered how one can rebuild life after the deep scars of child sexual abuse, especially when it involves trusted religious figures? Dr. Jaime Romo, an educator, consultant, author, and Minister from San Diego, offers a compelling narrative on this very topic. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Dr. Romo shares his journey of overcoming clergy abuse and transforming his pain into a mission for prevention and healing.

His workbook, 'Healing the Sexually Abused Heart: A Workbook for Survivors, Thrivers, and Supporters', integrates various disciplines to support survivors in their recovery. Dr. Romo explains, 'While it is no secret that I am a survivor of clergy abuse, it is the journey of integration, transformation and application that is most telling about my accomplishments and the life that I celebrate'.

Listeners will find valuable insights on trauma-informed practices, coping mechanisms for anxiety and anger, and the importance of community in preventing and intervening in child abuse. The episode also dives into the challenges of the holiday season for survivors and underscores the power of hope and compassion in the healing process. Dr.

Romo’s perspective as both a survivor and a professional provides a unique blend of personal experience and expert advice, making this episode a must-listen for anyone affected by child abuse or interested in supporting survivors. If you or someone you know is navigating the aftermath of child abuse, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical steps towards recovery.
