Today’s guest Shannon Molloy discusses his new book You made me this way which is part memoir, part investigation into the taboo and the difficult topic of male child sexual abuse and Shannon’s own experience of being sexually abused as a young child.

This may be uncomfortable listening, but it’s a conversation we all need to have to break the silence about surviving childhood sexual abuse and dealing with it, rather than burying it.

This is Shannon’s story.

Mark Thomas is a down to earth, honest and unusually frank Policeman of over 2 decades.

In this episode Mark talks openly about his battle with PTSI but the difference with Mark is he is a still a serving/current Vicpol member. 

Mark was able to recover enough from his PTSI to be able to RTW but much of that was because of the unwavering support of his supervisors. His immediate supervisor understood more than many about how to deal with a member trying to manage psychological injuries, and the difference that has made in Mark’s recovery is to be honest, incredible. 

This is Marks story

Di McDonald and her former husband parted ways and divorced in 2013. 

After a while Di thought about dipping her toes into the dating scene, but she didn’t need to, as a customer at her workplace had seen her and was very taken with her. 

He persisted and eventually they went out for coffee and she found she really liked him. He was charming, attentive, a gentleman and ‘quite sweet’ is how she described him.

But he couldn’t mask his true personality.

Di had unfortunately met a narcissist.
