In this episode we discuss the curse spoken over us by our abusers, in the form of lies used to control us. These lies will come to rule our lives for years, even decades, until we learn to speak truth in their place.   The Narcissist's CONSTANT Lying - Dr. Ramani Durvasula   Why Do Narcissists Lie? - Dr. Todd Grande  The Narcissist in Your Life - by Julie L Hall  Tim Fletcher on all things C-PTSD and addiction related to trauma  Free support groups for survivors of ANY institutional abuse:  https://www.snapnetwork.org  To receive a free trauma informed newsletter, video and worksheet every Friday, go to:  https://authorrebekahbrown.com/ or click here Follow Defy Trauma Embrace Joy on social media  Instagram  Facebook tiktok

Exploring how trauma effects us in adulthood

We cover the good, the bad, and the ugly of choosing and working with a trauma informed therapist.

Who are we, what is our background, and how did we get from being victims of childhood trauma, to survivors anxious to help empower others?

There are differences in therapists. We cover some of the things to look for and to avoid when seeking help. We also cover non-therapy, much less expensive ways to move toward healing.
