Courage Conversations

*This episode is adapted from the 30 Days of Courage LIVE event in October 2022.*

Picture this: Your partner just disclosed one of the most tragic things you could imagine. They finally worked up the courage to tell you that in their past, they have experienced A B U S E.

You love them and want to support them 100%, but you have no idea how to respond.

Maybe it's even been a couple of years since the disclosure, and they have triggers, and fears, and sometimes behave in ways you don't quite understand.

During this live panel discussion, learn from partners who have been where you are. Hear the tips and tools they have picked up along the way to strengthen their relationship and support the one they love the most.

Panelists: Will Easter, Linda Pittman, Matt Forsythe, Jeff Garcia

Chrissy Stroop is the co-editor (with Lauren O'Neal) of "Empty the Pews: Stories of Leaving the Church," which highlights the stories of survivors leaving toxic religious environments.

Chrissy has leveraged the power of story by being published in national magazines, news outlets, and peer-reviewed journals, but she is perhaps most known in the survivor community for her viral social media hashtags that highlight survivor stories and gain the attention of the press and media.

As a transgender woman, Chrissy's talk will discuss the power of story. How stories can help us heal, inspire us to change, and move our communities towards action.

Exercise is one of the most common triggers for abuse survivors.  

The reason this happens is that exercise has some of the same effects as traumatic experiences on your body: it increases your heart rate and blood pressure, which can make you feel like you're in danger even when you are not. 

 But physical movement and exercise are important for abuse survivors because it can help us heal from trauma.  

In this last episode of Courage Conversations for season 3, Survivor, Fitness and Nutrition Coach Liria Forsythe shares how to alleviate these triggers and take control of your fitness journey.  

This Thursday, Sept 22nd at 7pm ET streaming on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter.
