Struggle Care

129: Surviving Jeffrey Epstein with Lisa Phillips

Listen Later

Today’s episode is about surviving abuse, and I’m joined by Lisa Phillips, an abuse survivor. She shares her horrifying experience of surviving abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, along with so many other young girls. Lisa hosts a podcast called From Now On, where she dives headfirst into stories of abuse and recovery. Join us.

Show Highlights:

  • Lisa’s experience with Jeffrey Epstein when she was a young model in NYC
  • Understanding the scope of sex trafficking and sexual predators
  • Common questions survivors ask themselves: “Am I the crazy one? How could I not have known? How could I have been so stupid?”
  • Red flags, boundaries, predators, and “the switch”
  • Look out for “love bombers”!
  • The irony of sharing a history of sexual abuse with a partner (“They want to abuse you in the same way you were abused.”)
  • It’s hard to leave a relationship if you are trauma-bonded to that partner.
  • Abuse makes you more at risk of being abused again.
  • Lisa’s podcast guests, their stories, and universal experiences of abuse
  • Talking to our kids about evil people and “bad guys”
  • The main danger is NOT from strangers.
