✨Episode 135 | How to Heal From Sexual Abuse *Trigger warning: This episode mentions acts of sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised.* Paty Araujo is a single mom who started her rediscovery journey in 2018 after PPD & PTSD took a toll on her. She started therapy & meditation as a way to help her regain her true power. She changed the way she viewed the world, changed her old beliefs, & continues to grow. She’s here to be loud, speak her truth, & be a voice for those who need it. As a sexual abuse & incest survivor raised with very traditional Mexican beliefs, she’s breaking her generational cycle. Paty recently completed a 125 hour certification in Communication & Mindfulness that will help her help others. She loves to empower others in a very real way. Her favorite quote is “doing your best looks different everyday”. This week, we get really real. A survivor of sexual abuse, Paty shares her testimony of turning her pain into power. We discuss her upbringing & the unfortunate sexual abuse she experienced. Paty talks about the patterns she developed as a result & how she got started on her healing journey. Patty also shares her experience of going public with her story of abuse & the impact it has had on her healing process & how others can begin their own healing after abuse.

We’re dedicated to supporting those impacted by gambling harm, offering guidance to rebuild lives with resilience and purpose. Richie Paxton recently connected with Alistair Barfield (in episode 23 of our podcast), Director/Founder of Deflect + Protect CIC and a neurodiversity consultant, to discuss the neurodivergent community and the ways addiction and online trends uniquely impact vulnerable individuals. With a background in radicalisation and gambling-related harms training, Alistair - who is AuDHD - sheds light on how young people are influenced by digital trends and how neurodivergent individuals often experience acquired neurodiversity due to trauma and substance abuse.

Is it any wonder that as trauma survivors so many of us can struggle with positive emotions and experiences? There are many reasons for it, but one of the most significant is what happens in grooming as part of child sexual abuse. But what's perhaps most important to understand even within this is that our self-sabotage is our best attempt to keep ourselves SAFE: we're not being self-destructive for the sake of it. We're just doing our best to survive.

Porn Addiction... How can we stop? 🚫 Excited to share insights from my recent interview on the Mindful Podcast! As a Ph.D. in education and disability studies, and the Director of Research and Development at The Steadfast Institute, I had the honor of delving into this critical topic exploring problematic #pornography use (PPU), and dissecting what truly constitutes #addictive behavior. While the concept of porn #addiction may not yet have formal recognition, it's essential to understand its complexities. 💡 It's about understanding these mechanisms to reclaim control over our habits. https://lnkd.in/ggqiMrSe
