[EP:33] Call for stories - Amber B Skylar

VOICES with Amber B Skylar

Jul 16 2021 • 54 mins

In the fall/winter 2022, I will be organizing a few events, perhaps a live call in event, and introducing 2-4 guests per month.  I aspire to have a few series on Women and Religion, Religion and Sexual Violence,  different types of trauma, like Institutional Trauma, Trauma and Substance Abuse/Use, Military Sexual Trauma, Sexual Trauma and Legal System, Sex Trafficking, Domestic Violence, Sex, Rape as a War Weapon.  I seek to help victims of trauma to share what its like to live with being a victim/survivor of a violent crime.  We need more of these unpopular stories to help strengthen a person's ability to accept the trauma, and for all listeners to gain strength by listening and ultimately get involved.

You are stronger than you realize. I know what it feels like to face pain.   I get it, people want to feel safe.  The sale and distribution of quick pop psychology of "happiness"  ideas is very alluring because we have been disempowered  to believe we can fight back. In the playing fields of human evolution it is dangerous to keep looking the other way.  Most people do not know until it impacts them personally.  Then they cry out for justice and understanding. We must persue justice, policy change, a louder awareness that inspires more people to stop looking the other way.  It is OK to be a serious person.  Joy and happiness are the rewards when we as human beings face our darker depressive moments that lure us into hiding, avoidance.

You make a difference.  Release any attachment to the evidence of this and take action. Share your story with me.
