Something is coming for my South Jersey Day Ones. 💛 As a trauma therapist I have watched people spend years confused about why their relationships keep feeling the same way. The answer almost always goes back to childhood. I am working on something intimate. In person. Six weeks. Limited spots. If you are in South Jersey and ready to finally connect those dots — Drop a 💛 below. I want to know you are interested. #traumatherapist #csasurvivor #childhoodtrauma #relationshiptrauma #healingjourney

What if SA feels like love to a child? That’s one of the most confusing parts of grooming. Sometimes the person causing harm is also the person giving the child attention, affection, gifts, praise, or making them feel “special.” A child may trust them, love them, miss them, or even want to be around them. That does not mean the child wanted or consented to the abuse. It means children need us to teach body safety before they’re ever placed in a situation where they’re expected to recognize grooming for themselves. That’s exactly why I created the DayOne Safety Series. 📚 ABCs of Safe & Unsafe Touch teaches prevention and body-safety language. I Know What to Do helps children practice those skills. It Happened to Me was created for the child who has already experienced SA and needs help understanding that what happened was not their fault. We can’t control every person our children encounter. But we CAN give them language, boundaries, and a plan. Break cycles. Not children. 🤎 #boymom #girlmom #manipulator #grooming #csa

As a trauma therapist the comments on that Reel confirmed what I already know. Our boys are suffering in silence. And most parents have no idea what to look for because nobody told them this was even possible. Save this. Share it with every parent of a boy you know. 💛 📖 Both books available profile and Amazon #boymomproblems #csa #csasurvivor #boymom
