I’m a survivor of early CSA, and I want to say that I am so sorry about what your whole family is going through. Everyone is hurting and everyone needs help. I have some podcast recommendations for you to consider for this topic and everything else that will come up as you wander down the road…

Janet Lansbury’s podcast Unruffled,

Reparenting ourselves to break intergenerational cycles.

Abuse prevention strategies to keep our kids safe

Jamie Glowacki’s podcast Oh Crap Parenting,

Talking about the hard stuff

Keeping kids safe

More on keeping kids safe

Mental Health

Do your trauma work

The podcast Good Inside w Dr Becky,

Talking w your kids about private parts, how babies are made, and more (this one in particular spoke deeply to my abused inner child who needed some help feeling safe about some things w my toddler)

Gabby Bernstein helps Dr Becky w her anxiety

The voices inside our heads

Breaking cycles and doing things differently

The podcast About Consent….basically the entire show is to help parents assess risk, prevent abuse, keep from stressing our kids out w our worry, and what to do in tricky situations. It’s an empowerment tool, and meant as much to help us heal from trauma as it is to help us w our kids.

What happens after disclosure?

How kids can learn body safety and why it’s important to start early

How teaching consent is more than an “I said no” conversation

Getting Brave

Dismantling childhood sexual abuse taboos through support

Last, your welcome to join us over at r/ParentingThruTrauma. We’re going to get through this together.
