Today is Human Trafficking Awareness Day: January 11

By Kathy Broady MSW 1 Comment

#WearBlueDay: 11 January. National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.

    National Human Trafficking Awareness Day    Human trafficking exists.  It most certainly, absolutely, without question exists. It does.  Everyday.  Everywhere.  How very sad is that. How do I know trafficking exists?  Because I've spoken to, interacted with, listened to, walked with, and sat beside many women who were (are) trapped in human trafficking, specifically in sex trafficking.  I've … [Read more...]

The Spiritual Battle Fought and Won by Dissociative Trauma Survivors

By Kathy Broady MSW 39 Comments

  Zurcaroh's Aerial Dance When I first watched Zurcaroh's Aerial Dance** -- in the video embedded below -- I was genuinely so overcome with deep emotion that I cried!  For me, Zurcaroh was able to show a perfect picture of the spiritual battle fought by dissociative trauma survivors.  This dance showed, for me, how good defeats evil. I had to watch this dance a few times over --  it was so incredibly powerful … [Read more...]

  Noise Pollution and Sound Trauma as a form of Torture Have you ever experienced noise pollution or sound trauma?   Those are my words for it, and in my definition, sound trauma is an overly long, extended exposure to a loud, uncomfortable, grating, penetrating noise.  For that matter, I suppose the noise  / noise pollution could be quieter, yet when it gets repeated extensively, it would still be effective … [Read more...]
