Today's episode is digging deeper into the EASE framework so you can intervene with EASE. Using the EASE framework, you have the opportunity to Express Care, Ask Directly, Show Up, and Entrust Someone Else.

Sometimes we find ourselves in the "in-betweensies" where we aren't sure if we should intervene or not because we aren't positive there is a real problem. In this episode, Dr. Turner discusses the options for when you find yourself between decisions.

What self-acceptance and self-love is, why they are challenging for the survivor community and often overlooked, and how you can achieve them. What is self-acceptance and self-love? It’s accepting all aspects of who you are and understanding your worth as a person. Abuse creates a false narrative where you might feel flawed or that something is just inherently wrong with you. And this distorted self-view is a significant barrier to self-love and self-acceptance and reaching out for help to heal. If you feel you are inherently flawed (and this is because of the abuse), then you believe you cannot change your circumstances and are stuck forever in this cycle of a distorted belief system. The reality is the only thing that is flawed – is your belief system because it is false. Abuse is someone taking advantage of their power over another person not because their victim is flawed, it has to do with proximity and access to you as well as arrogance, power and manipulation. So, if you are ready to embrace who you are without judgment, accept your imperfections, and experience a balanced and healthy regard for yourself, then this episode is for you. That’s what today’s episode is all about. So, take some ‘me’ time, put your headphones on and listen in private to a message that can help you learn how you can experience self-acceptance and self-love.

🔥🎧New Podcast! In this episode, Karen DeArmond Gardner shares her powerful story of surviving thirty years of domestic abuse and the deep shame that kept her silent. She discusses the healing after abuse that brought her out of darkness and how God transformed her pain into sacred scars. Her testimony offers hope and encouragement to anyone seeking restoration after experiencing trauma.   Here are some topics we discussed: 👉 I didn’t know I could leave. People often asked, “Why did you stay?” Because I didn’t know I could leave and I was terrified of my husband who was in law enforcement, and I knew his capabilities. 👉 Instead of asking someone “why did you stay?” The better question is, “Why would he abuse his wife whom he supposedly loves?” Put it back on the one who caused the harm rather than the one who endured the harm. 👉 When I left, shame covered me like a scratchy wool blanket and people could see it. I couldn’t look anyone in the eye and I didn’t want to be seen. When I realized no one wanted to know my story of pain, I internalized the shame and I put on a mask. You would see the absolute ugliness if I let you in, so I didn’t show you my real self.   To listen, search for Your Hope Filled Perspective.       #abusesurvivor #abuseawareness #traumahealing #domesticabusesurvivor

Have you ever experienced communal grief after a tragedy? That shared sense of loss, fear and hopelessness that takes over? In the latest Aligned and Thriving episode, I describes it so vividly: "It's a shared sense of loss, normally of something intangible but very important to us. A sense of safety, of predictability, of knowing something about our community that now is taken from us or permanently changed." "It is a shared sense of hopelessness, of fear, of doubt, and powerlessness. It may include anger, sadness, and confusion. It can all be happening at the same time and takes up huge chunks of your brain, leaving you left with only remnants of cognitive function to deal with your day to day life." Chilling but resonant words about how communal grief can impact us mentally and neurologically. In the episode, I opens up about her personal experiences with this after events like the Port Arthur massacre. The brain science behind why we feel this way is fascinating.
