Ep 15: The Power of Community - We Are Not Alone
HONORING CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH
‼️‼️Trigger Warning:
This episode contains discussions of childhood sexual abuse and may be triggering for some listeners.
In this episode, I welcome Scott Dille, founder and executive director of Braver Collective, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a safe, trauma-informed space for survivors to heal. Scott shares his personal journey and the mission of Braver Collective, which includes sharing survivor stories and offering resources for healing. Our conversation highlights the importance of community in the healing process, drawing from our experiences with support groups and therapy. We also discuss Judith Herman's stages of healing and how community plays a crucial role at every step of the journey.
💥CTA: Please subscribe to my podcast while you are there. Your support will help me continue sharing my HEALing message with the world.
Highlights of this episode
💛Introduction to Braver Collective: A nonprofit that offers an online community, storytelling, and resources built by trauma survivors for trauma survivors.
💙Importance of Community & Storytelling: We both believe deeply in community's healing power and talk about our experiences with support groups. We look for community in so many other aspects of our lives—socially or spiritually, for example—so why not in the part of our lives that is so deeply seated that we need to heal? Resistance to joining a support group can be misplaced shame that belongs to perpetrators, not survivors.
💛Focus on Young Adults: When healing begins at a young age, before the average start of the healing journey around 50, suffering as a survivor can end more quickly and move us to a longer life in which we thrive.
💙Healing Journey Phases: Scott references Judith Herman's stages of healing: safety, remembering, mourning, and reconnection.
💛Personal Growth and Purpose: Scott shares his transition from a business background to working full-time with Braver Collective, illustrating finding purpose in supporting survivors.
