Today I speak with the excellent Denise Brown, author of Transcending Darkness, and woah, if you should listen to one episode, this is it. We discussed our struggles with our child abuse trauma, how it impacted our adult life, and the ways we use our past for goodness. We both had the same profound event of a higher power speaking to us when we thought it was all over. I had no clue this was a commonality between survivors, and well, listen now, as it stunned us both. “God spoke to me at the lowest point in my life”. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-survivors/message

Hey there! I'm Thomas, a child abuse survivor. I haven't posted in about a year, and Woah! I'm genuinely humbled by all of the people listening. I was pleasantly surprised by how many of you tuned in, and you motivated me to record. In episode 4, I talk about how therapy changed my life in the last 12 months. In detail, I document where I've been and how the previous year has gone. It's been a transformational year, and I'm proud to share that. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-survivors/message
