Something else you should know: I’m not one of those hosts who uses the podcast notes to summarize the podcast in an outline format, point by point. I’d rather just give a brief explanation of the topic and then let you listen to the episode for the details. So, there you have it. I hope this episode educates, informs, enlightens, and helps each one of you understand more of the dynamics of the neurological and psychological impacts of rape and sexual assault trauma.

And as always, here are some important and meaningful websites I hope you’ll take a look at and learn about.

Thank you for being a SASS listener. Please subscribe to the show, and please follow the Instagram page of sexualassaultsurvivorstories. It all helps the show grow. Which is what I hope to accomplish to help lessen the prevalence of rape and sexual assault, as well as the prevalence rate of the rape culture that surrounds us all.

Thanks again!

127. Derrick Hurley & Kaitlin Hurley-Fields; Part 3: Holding Nothing Back—The Story of Kaitlin’s Rape 1:03:51

for 7 dager siden1:03:51

1:03:51

This is the opening paragraph from Derrick Hurley’s website about his book, Antiguan Justice: A Father’s Fight. This passage is both powerful and important, and it deserves special attention because it highlights not only a family’s painful struggle to survive the trauma of Kaitlin’s horrific rape but also the incredible lengths a devoted father will go to in his pursuit of justice for his daughter. Derrick Hurley’s life was forever changed when his daughter, Kaitlin Hurley, became the victim of a brutal crime in 2015. A nursing student living in Antigua, Kaitlin suffered a traumatic assault at the hands of a London police officer, Lee Martin-Cramp, who was visiting the island with his family. In his gripping and emotionally raw 220-page book, Antiguan Justice: A Father’s Fight, Derrick Hurley lays bare his anguish, determination, and relentless fight for justice. Through his deeply personal account, he takes readers on an extraordinary journey—one that no parent ever imagines they will have to face—demonstrating the unwavering strength of a father’s love in the face of unimaginable adversity. ( https://derrick-hurley.com/ ) Being a witness in criminal court isn’t easy. Especially if you’re the “victim” witness testifying from the stand against the perpetrator who viciously and painfully drug raped you, and who is sitting within just a few feet in away from you as you testify. It’s not just “not easy;” it can be terrifying. In this week’s episode, Kaitlin Hurley describes how she found herself in that very situation, realizing that the actuality of being in court is nothing like you’ve seen on television…which is all Kaitlin knew about what court was like. No, there’s not a whole lot that’s even close to similar when it comes to comparing reality with tv drama. And, what made this even more unfamiliar was the fact that it was an Antiguan court room, where the setting for this reality was not familiar at all. The prosecutor’s table, the defense table, where the jury sits, and the witness “box,” are all quite different from an American courtroom. It’s hard to imagine the anxiety and fear a victim giving testimony might feel. Listen as Kaitlin tells what her experience was. And hear, too, the emotional description from Kaitlin’s father, Derrick. This is Part 3 of the 4-part series of my interview with Kaitlin Hurley-Fields and her father, Derrick Hurley. It’s never “easy” to listen to an account of rape or sexual assault. But it’s necessary as a caring aspect of a community coming together to be supportive of the survivors of these horrific stories, and to help bring justice to them, and to normalizing the conversation in order to help reduce the prevalence of rape and sexual assault in the rape culture in which we are enveloped. Thank you for being a SASS listener. Please subscribe to the show, then give it a five-star rating. This helps in the grand scheme of algorithms to increase the opportunity of more people to know about and listen to this important and powerful podcast. I hope you will also do your part to bring justice to victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault. You can do that by sharing this episode with others, and that when you listen to others tell their story of rape or sexual assault, you’ll Start by Believing. Also, please follow the Instagram page of sexualassaultsurvivorstories. It also helps the show grow, which is what I hope to accomplish to help lessen the prevalence of rape and sexual assault, as well as the prevalence of rape culture that surrounds us all. It only takes a minute, and I truly appreciate your support. And as always, listed below are some additional important and meaningful websites I hope you’ll take a look at and learn more about. You’ll also notice in this episode that there are ads placed at the beginning, middle, and end of the episode to help bring attention to Arci Grey’s Survivor School, an organization in which I play a part as both a Masterclass Presenter, and as a member of the Survivor School advisory panel. There’s nothing like this phenomenally innovative approach to healing from trauma and becoming un-stuck.

126. Derrick Hurley & Kaitlin Hurley-Fields; Part 2: Holding Nothing Back—The Story of Kaitlin’s Rape 26:55

I want to share with you, again, the opening paragraph from Derrick Hurley’s website about the book he wrote: Antiguan Justice: A Father’s Fight … it’s important and powerful enough that it bears making sure you read it to emphasize the importance of not only the family’s stirring struggle to survive Kailin’s horrific rape, but also the extent that a loving father will go to help bring justice to his daughter: D errick Hurley, a devoted father, found himself in a heart-wrenching battle when his daughter, Kaitlin Hurley, fell victim to a harrowing crime in 2015. Kaitlin, a nursing student living in Antigua, endured a traumatic experience at the hands of a London police officer, Lee Martin-Cramp, who was visiting the island with his family. In his gripping and emotionally charged 220-page book, “Antiguan Justice: A Father’s Fight,” Derrick Hurley bares his soul, recounting the extraordinary odyssey he embarked upon when his daughter became the tragic victim of a heinous crime. ( https://derrick-hurley.com/ ) This episode is fascinating because it not only features Derrick’s ongoing struggle to get his daughter’s perpetrator extradited back to Antigua from England, but also Kaitlin’s personal story of a big portion of her healing process. The importance of her struggle can’t be overstated. Kaitlin gives her formidable and crucially important insights on her healing journey. I think the reason this portion of the episode is so powerful is because Kaitlin tells it in such a way that it makes you captivatingly aware of her raw strength and determination in pushing toward normalizing the conversation and her life. Truly, Kaitlin is the archetype of courage. Thank you for being a SASS listener. Please subscribe to the show, then give it a five-star rating.

Let me share with you the opening paragraph from Derrick Hurley’s website about the book he wrote: Antiguan Justice: A Father’s Fight … D errick Hurley, a devoted father, found himself in a heart-wrenching battle when his daughter, Kaitlin Hurley, fell victim to a harrowing crime in 2015. Kaitlin, a nursing student living in Antigua, endured a traumatic experience at the hands of a London police officer, Lee Martin-Cramp, who was visiting the island with his family. In his gripping and emotionally charged 220-page book, “Antiguan Justice: A Father’s Fight,” Derrick Hurley bares his soul, recounting the extraordinary odyssey he embarked upon when his daughter became the tragic victim of a heinous crime. ( https://derrick-hurley.com/ ) There is no gentle way to explain how terrifying this story is. And Derrick holds nothing back in telling what his daughter, Kaitlin, and his entire family endured in the long fight for justice for Kaitlin. But, the bright side of this story is that justice was served. And Kaitlin and her family endured and continue to bring justice to thousands of people by sharing their story. It’s an important story to be told, and this is an important podcast to listen to…because we need to normalize this type of story, and the conversations that are necessary to help put an end to rape culture in this country and around the world. In fact, this is an extraordinary episode, because it is Kaitlin’s first time being on a podcast in order to share her experience of the heinous rape she endured at the hands of a UK police officer who was on vacation with his family in Antigua where the crime occurred. The fight for justice was grueling. And Kaitlin acknowledges that she’ll never be the same person she was before the rape. In the end, the fight to get justice was worth every agonizing aspect of the struggle. This is an amazing story, an amazing book, and an amazing episode, Part 1! Thank you for being a SASS listener.

124. BB Gabriel: No Ordinary Love; Healing Through Writing 1:01:04

When I found BB Gabriel on Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/stories/no.ordinary.love_bb.gabriel/ ), and read about her book, No Ordinary Love, I wasted no time in reaching out to her to ask her to be a guest on this show. BB readily agreed, but due to some medical issues that came up for her, we had to wait awhile to get her episode recorded. It is with tremendous honor that I am finally able to bring you this episode! BB had no hesitation in sharing her profound journey as a survivor of multiple sexual assaults and domestic violence. She discusses her ongoing medical challenges, the emotional impact of her experiences, and the importance of healing and self-discovery. BB also emphasizes the significance of safe spaces for survivors and the role of mental health in recovery. And she delves into the story behind her book, 'No Ordinary Love,' and reflects on the complexities of survivor narratives. I’m thrilled to bring you this episode because BB shares her deeply personal journey of healing from trauma, particularly focusing on her experiences with domestic violence and sexual assault. She discusses the complexities of trauma responses, the long-lasting impacts on her life, and the therapeutic power of writing as a means of processing her experiences. BB talks about the crucial importance of support systems and coping mechanisms in her healing journey, highlighting the role of community and self-care in navigating the challenges of trauma recovery. This is an episode you don’t want to miss. Here’s the link to go directly to Amazon to buy BB’s book!...which you should do, in my esteemed and highly sought-after opinion: https://a.co/d/9JaCXHM Thank you for being a SASS listener.

123. Victoria Ellen: The Path from Abuse to Empowerment 45:23

for 5 weeks siden45:23

45:23

The path from abuse to empowerment…this title doesn’t quite do justice to this story; but it’s a good start. Victoria Ellen IS a survivor! But even more that, she is a powerhouse. She married a man who wasn’t at all what he seemed. What started out as a loving, encouraging and pretty wonderful marriage turned into what was, in reality, a textbook example of the cycle of domestic violence. Victoria’s husband started showing his true self: a controlling, power-crazed narcissist. He became a pastor. But he used what was supposed to be sacred and honor-filled into manipulative coercion and fear, using his self-perceived spiritual leadership into a tool; a tool of malevolence. The power and control Victoria’s husband wielded manifested with physical assault, rape, and sexual assault. Sadly, Victoria wasn’t the only victim of this man’s assaultive actions. Victoria started seeing the signs of sexual assault coming from her two children. Toddlers. A mother’s worst nightmare. The path of this relationship however, as the title of this episode states, went from abuse to empowerment. Victoria became ferocious in her designs to eliminate this abusive monster from her and her children’s lives. She did it…she left that man. How? That’s where the book she wrote comes in. Painting in the Rain: A T rue Story of Trickery and Triumph, tells the incredible story. Here's the link to Victoria’s website; be sure to check it out! https://www.victoriaellen.co/ And here’s the link to go directly to Amazon to buy her book! Which you should do, if you want my opinion! https://www.amazon.com/s?k=painting+in+the+rain+book+victoria+ellen&crid=29BD2M8DNLHX1&sprefix=Painting+in+the+r%2Caps%2C142&ref=nb_sb_ss_mvt-t8-ranker_2_17 Thank you for being a SASS listener.

122. Rosa: Dear John Stamos: A Letter for You (And Everyone Else) 36:31

for 6 weeks siden36:31

36:31

If you know John Stamos (yes, the multi-time Emmy nominated actor, co-star of TV’s “Full House,” and author of “If You Would Have Told Me: A Memoir"), or if you know someone who does, please let him know there’s a letter waiting for him here, written by my guest on this week’s episode, Rosa: **************************************************************************************** [Dear John and Everyone,] If you would have told me back in 2005 when I was just 15 years old that John Stamos would write a book and make a viral video that would push me to take an important step in my life, I never would have believed you. John Stamos, you and I have so much in common. We are both diehard Disney fans and also childhood sexual assault victims. As you recently mentioned at the D23 event, Disney fills us with a relentless belief that our dreams have no expiration date. No one should ever have to dream of getting justice or closure from a childhood sexual assault. Unfortunately, it happens to so many of us, including you and me. Like you, there was also a time in my life where I didn't want to kill myself, but also didn't care if I died. And also like you, I'm so glad I didn't die. The best years of my life hadn't happened yet. I'm grateful that God gave us both many more beautiful years to experience. And I wish us both many healthy years filled with unexplainable joy better than we could ever imagine. I was only 15 years old when my parents dropped the childhood sexual assault charges against the perpetrator. I had no say because I was a minor. For the longest time, I felt like I didn't belong in the world. I felt alone and unsupported by those who should have supported me the most. I felt angry. During those years, one of the few ways I found laughter, relief, and joy was by watching Full House reruns. You made me laugh back then when it was nearly impossible to do so. Six years later, I began to rebuild my life little by little. Each year, I continue to experience more joy than the last. Your book and video gave me the final courage to reopen the case and press charges against the perpetrator. I hope that one day I can hug you and thank you in person. But until then, I hope this reaches you so that you know just how much you helped me. Your video was the one missing piece I needed to take that final step for justice. I have so much love and respect for you, John. Thank you for speaking out. I hope my story helps someone like yours helped me. This isn’t the only important message that Rosa wants to share; she’s on a mission to get Connecticut state lawmakers to change the statute-of-limitations law for sexual assault and rape victims, particularly child victims. There’s a back story here, so make sure you listen to this episode. It is critically important. And, while I’m asking for my listeners to fulfill my call-to-action, here’s another one: please, please share this episode. Just hit that copy button to send it to everyone you can think of, including Connecticut lawmakers. Especially if you live in Connecticut! There’s a lot to this episode. I hope you listen to it. It won’t take much of your time, but it will definitely leave you feeling like you’ve heard something substantially worthwhile! Thank you for being a SASS listener.

In this episode, I’m diving deeper than I have in the past into what it really means to be trauma informed. No guest this week—it’s just you and me as we unpack the complexities of trauma and how it impacts survivors of rape and sexual assault on physical, emotional, and neurological levels. We’ll revisit some core ideas from Episode 115 and take them a step further, focusing on how we can show up for survivors in a way that’s not only empathetic but empowering. We’ll explore the brain’s key players when it comes to trauma—the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex—and how they respond during distressing events. Ever wonder why survivors sometimes struggle with memory or feel stuck in “survival mode”? We break it down in plain terms and discuss how chronic stress can rewire the brain, making it harder to process emotions or even trust others again. But it doesn’t stop there; most importantly we’ll talk about six practical principles of being trauma-informed, from creating safety to empowering survivors, and how these steps can make a tangible difference in their healing journey. Whether you’re a professional in the criminal justice system, healthcare, social work, advocacy, or just someone who wants to be a better ally, this episode is packed with insights to help you take action. Together, we can foster a world where survivors feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. Thank you for being a SASS listener.

119. Carrie Eberts (formerly Grant): Carrie Catches Us Up on Her Healing, and Shares Even More of Her Story! 28:43

for 9 weeks siden28:43

28:43

Carrie is a return guest. The last time she was on this show was in April, 2023, Episode 29. She told us her harrowing story of being adopted into a situation of childhood sexual assault (CSA) at the hands of her adoptive father. The impact was devastating. Yet, Carrie survived and became a strong, resilient woman whose goal became doing all she could to raise awareness of CSA and help bring justice to victims and survivors to help reduce the prevalence of CSA. That goal and her efforts to advocate for victims and survivors has only amplified since last we talked on this show. Since then, Carrie and I have maintained contact, on and off, mostly through texting and social media. Just a few weeks ago, I suggested to Carrie that maybe it was time to have her back on this show to tell us how life has been since she was last interviewed, and how her healing journey has progressed. Since her last appearance, Carrie has gotten married: she’s now Carrie Eberts. And she’s moved to Missouri. And also she has geared down in her presence on social media. Where she once had a site that had 1000+ followers, she had downgraded to a much smaller presence. She explains why in this episode. But what she hasn’t done is downgraded in her desire to be an advocate for child victims and survivors of sexual assault. Nor has she become less of an influence. She just takes a different approach now. And part of that is appearing on this show to bring us all up to date. Carrie maintains her strong presence and her desire to raise awareness of childhood sexual abuse and still works hard to bring down the prevalence rate. She proclaims that she will always strive to help victims and survivors on their healing journey. She is relentless in her will and efforts to do just that. And I am proud that she is back to tell us all about it. As I said last time Carrie joined us, “I appreciate Carrie and all she is doing to help victims and survivors. And after listening to her story and words of encouragement, I think you, too, will appreciate Carrie.” Thank you for being a SASS listener.

118. Janna MacLean, Part 2: Understanding Implicit and Explicit Memories—Powerful Realities! 43:36

for 10 weeks siden43:36

43:36

This week's episode is an exciting example of a topic I’ve discussed numerous times on this show: implicit and explicit memory—what these are, and how they work together to provide a powerful impact in finding out more about a survivors rape and sexual assault experiences…IF the person doing the interview is trauma informed and knows how to ask the right questions in the right ways. The resultant responses can provide more than a person doing the interview ever dreamed possible! Last week’s guest, Janna MacLean, reached out to me just two days after her original episode recording to tell me that what I had warned her about, how talking about her rape and sexual assault experiences could and probably would activate implicit memories…memories she didn’t know were even in her brain, had actually happened, and now she was realizing she’d left som much out of her original telling of her rape and sexual assault experiences. Janna asked if she could come back on the show to talk about this and make listeners aware of how real and how powerful this brain phenomena truly is. The answer was a no brainer for me…of course, yes, let’s do this! And thank you for even having the courage, fortitude, and strength to want to do this! WoW! What a powerful episode this is! I can hardly wait for you to hear it! Thank you for being a SASS listener. Please subscribe to the show, then give it a five-star rating.

117. Janna MacLean; The Mask of Kindness: Unmasking a Sexual Predator 1:06:03

for 11 weeks siden1:06:03

1:06:03

This week's episode delves into the harrowing story of Janna, who at the beginning of this story was a young high schooler who fell prey to a manipulative groomer. This individual, initially presenting himself as a kind, attentive, and compassionate confidante, captivated Janna with his charm. Unfortunately, these qualities often mask a predatory nature, as charm can be a powerful tool for sexual predators. Such was the case of this predator. Janna, seeking solace and understanding during a difficult period marked by anxiety episodes, found an attentive ear in this individual. His support fostered a sense of connection, leading Janna to hope for a deeper, more meaningful relationship. However, this "support" was merely a calculated ploy, a tactic to gain Janna's trust and gradually isolate her. The groomer, using manipulative tactics, consistently delayed the progression of their relationship, citing a need for time and contemplation. This period of uncertainty intensified the grooming process, allowing the predator to gradually exert greater control over Janna's emotions and erode her self-confidence. Beneath the façade of kindness and consideration lay a cunning manipulator. His affection fluctuated dramatically, amplified when his sexual desires were met and swiftly withdrawn when they weren't. This pattern of intermittent reinforcement created a cycle of dependence and emotional turmoil for Janna. The manipulation resulted in a series of sexual assaults, culminating in a devastating act of rape. Throughout these traumatic experiences, the rapist systematically gaslighted Janna, convincing her that she had willingly consented to all sexual encounters. He cruelly dismissed her doubts and confusion as figments of her imagination, further eroding her sense of self-worth. Ultimately, the rapist succeeded in shifting the blame, convincing Janna that she was the abuser, the manipulator. This insidious tactic of victim-blaming is a common strategy employed by perpetrators to evade accountability for their heinous actions. This episode serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of predatory grooming and the devastating impact it can have on young, vulnerable individuals. And it highlights the importance of recognizing the warning signs of manipulation and cultivating healthy boundaries in relationships. Thank you for being a SASS listener.

116. Jeanna Coursey: A Quick Turn-around to Examine the Impact of Trauma 24:40

Jeanna is one of my most loyal listeners of this podcast…when she originally found Sexual Assault Survivor Stories she was so enthralled by the content that she binge-listened to every single episode. That’s impressive listening. Then, she wrote me a nice, long, kind, email telling me about some of her favorite episodes. And she told me she wanted to speak with me. So we had a great phone conversation. Not long afterward, she told me she was ready to come on the show and tell her sexual assault and rape stories. So we did that. Episode 111. You’ll not want to miss it. Then, last week I posted Episode 115…a solo episode of me talking about the neuroscience of trauma, and how sexual trauma impacts our brains and our bodies. Jeanna listened to it then almost immediately reached out to me to ask if we could do another episode because she had some insights of her own that she wanted to share with the SASS audience about how sexual trauma had impacted her. What a remarkable episode this is…I truly appreciate Jeanna’s insights and her desire to come back on the show and discuss with me her thoughts and impressions. This is definitely an episode that you will grow and heal from. I highly recommend listening. Additionally, both Jeanna and I would love to hear your impressions of our discussion, and the impact of this episode on your healing and learning processes. My email address is below. Thank you!

The week leading up to this episode has been rather strange for me, because it included two potential guest appearances that didn’t come together as planned. But that’s okay, because it provided the opportunity for me to do something I had been wanting to do for months: a monologue follow-up on Episode 21 from over a year ago. Something else you should know: I’m not one of those hosts who uses the podcast notes to summarize the podcast in an outline format, point by point. I’d rather just give a brief explanation of the topic and then let you listen to the episode for the details. So, there you have it. I hope this episode educates, informs, enlightens, and helps each one of you understand more of the dynamics of the neurological and psychological impacts of rape and sexual assault trauma.

114. Bonus Episode featuring Jan Broberg!-AJ; The Impact of Community Support, Providing Strength in the Healing Process 1:06:34

for 14 weeks siden1:06:34

1:06:34

In this deeply moving episode, I am joined by a friend of the podcast and host of The Jan Broberg Show , none other than Jan herself, to help interview AJ, a brave survivor who shares her extraordinary journey of overcoming extensive abuse and discovering her own strength. Together, the three of us explore the vital role of community support in the healing process, with a special focus on the Thrivivors community, which has been an integral part of AJ's recovery. The conversation delves into AJ's personal journey, examining the profound impact of childhood trauma on her development and the coping mechanisms she had to create in order to survive. AJ’s story opens a window into the often hidden world of familial abuse and trafficking, shedding light on the long-term effects of trauma and the toxic façade of normalcy that can sometimes surround abusive families. The discussion also touches on the critical importance of trauma-informed care and how sharing one’s story can be a powerful tool for healing and empowering others. Throughout the episode, Jan, myself, and AJ emphasize how deeply childhood trauma and abuse can affect mental health, personal identity, and relationships. AJ courageously shares her harrowing experiences of being trafficked and abused, highlighting her struggle with complex PTSD and the difficult but necessary journey toward healing and self-acceptance. As the conversation unfolds, we explore the complexities of navigating trust in relationships, particularly the challenge of reframing relationships with abusers—especially when those abusers are family members—in order to heal. The episode concludes with a heartfelt focus on recovery, self-love, and the ongoing journey of healing. AJ’s resilience and determination to tell her story serve as a powerful reminder of the strength of survivors and the importance of community and support. This episode of S.A.S.S. is dedicated to those who share their stories and to those who listen and learn from them. Both Jan and I extend our heartfelt thanks to AJ for bravely sharing her incredibly difficult story and for being a powerful force in this conversation. AJ’s strength and determination to get her story out there are truly inspiring, and her journey toward healing continues to serve as a beacon of hope for others. S.A.S.S.--Normalizing the Conversation. ™️ Thank you for being here to listen to AJ’s interview. After you’ve heard this episode, please do all you can to share this episode with everyone you know.

113. Melissa Fairchild; Gratitude and Celebration are the Focus of Her Healing: An Apropos Episode for This Week! 27:14

It’s not at all common for me to do follow-up episodes so close together in the sequence of episodes, but this opportunity is so meaningful and appropriate this week that I just had to share it with you now, instead of sometime down the line. So, Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Melissa Fairchild is back (take a listen to her first episode on the show: Episode 96!) to give us an update on her healing journey. As you’ll hear in the episode, this wasn’t really planned—it just sort of happened when she called me a few days ago to say hi, check in, and wish me a Happy Thanksgiving. I suddenly felt inspired to ask if she’d like to record a follow-up interview to bring you all up to date on how her healing has been progressing, and she readily agreed. I had no idea that what she would end up describing would evolve into what I consider the perfect Thanksgiving episode, but that’s exactly what happened. And it’s all because of Melissa’s incredible spirit, her loving and generous heart, and her volunteer work to support those who are less fortunate than many of us and have endured horrendous traumas. This has turned into a powerfully appropriate episode for this week…again, Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for being here to listen to Melissa’s follow-up conversation. After you’ve heard this episode, please share it with everyone you know. Also, start by believing whenever you hear someone telling their rape or sexual assault survivor story, because we all know someone whose life has been impacted by these traumas. Another big favor I’d ask is that you rate and subscribe to this podcast. It all helps the podcast grow, which, in turn, helps bring justice to victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault. By the way, it would be immensely appreciated if you would take just a few seconds to find the sexualassaultsurvivorstories page on Instagram and hit the follow button! Thank you for being part of my audience, and please become a regular listener and subscriber. You are all a huge part of what I am thankful for this year! So, thank you for your loyalty. Here are some important collaborators whose websites I hope you’ll check out and support.
