5 Ways to Heal From the Shattering Consequences of Abuse w/ John R. Miles EP 172
Over the past several weeks, I have interviewed several guests on the Passion Struck podcast who have experienced the consequences of abuse and neglect. These include my recent interviews with\xa0Kara Robinson Chamberlain, who was kidnapped by a serial killer and sexually assaulted.\xa0Carrington Smith, who was emotionally abused and neglected for years by her parents and sexually abused while she was in college. I also interviewed Rabbi Avremi Zippel, who was sexually abused for ten years during childhood. I created this podcast to bring more awareness to how to heal from abuse and face the future with hope.\n\nIf you require help and want to speak to someone about your experience, try these resources:\nNational Domestic Violence Hotline\nNational Sexual Assault Hotline\nNational Dating Abuse Hotline\nPathways to Safety International\nNational Center for Victims of Crime\nCasa de Esperanza (Spanish-speaking hotline)\nNational Indigenous Women\u2019s Resource Center\nAsian and Pacific Islander Institute on Domestic Violence\nThe National Center on Violence Against Women in the Black Community\nNational LGBTQ Task Force\n\n--\u25ba Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/heal-from-the-shattering-consequences-of-abuse/\xa0\n--\u25ba Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles\n--\u25ba Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283\n*Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.\nThank You to Our Sponsor, Masterworks\nThis episode of Passion Struck with John R.
