Mr. Dudley will share his story as well as give us some advice on what to do if you find yourself in that situation all too familiar.  The message really is to shed light that women can be abusive as well, so we all need to take a stance on being the best human being we can possibly be in this Universe.

Not only is it important for the victim/survivor to understand how they can cope, but also family members of survivors.

Fire and Ice will discuss the scientific, neurobiological outlook of trauma to the brain when a survivor has been exposed to sexual assault and/or domestic violence. The brain is a powerful organ that houses memories. When trauma strikes, the brain responds in a certain way.  Oftentimes, survivors of sexual assault or domestic violence ask questions such as, "Why can't I get over it?" "Why am I just now remembering what happened?" "Why do I feel like it keeps happening over and over again?" "Why can't I forget about it?" Let's explore these questions as well as the effects of trauma and possible ways to cope with life after the incident.     00:45:00The FireandIce Shownodomestic violence,sexual assault,emotional healingLet's look at the neurobiological aspect of trauma and the brain as we break down sexual assault and domestic violence.

And the order of impact is from minimum to max...meaning stress is the starter, and if left untreated, can lead to anxiety, and if left untreated, can lead to depression. It's sort of like an avalanche. The more left untreated or uncared for, it worsens. So how do we deal with trauma? Better yet, how do we deal with the effects of trauma?

Today, my co-host (Sha) and I go over key talking points to begin conversations around child molestation with your children. It's never too late and it's not too early - conversations can be age-based! Also, Sha and I will talk about signs you will see if your child(ren) is being molested. As parents, it's our job to protect our children. Take heed to the signs, have awareness conversations with your children, provide a safe environment so your children are comfortable talking to you, and be the force in your children's lives to make them feel protected and respected. Together, we can end #childmolestation #domesticviolence #sexualassault! Be sure to share this broadcast with your community and let's keep the conversations going.

We talked about emotional, psychological, verbal and financial abuse... realizing there are so many more ways a victim can be abused by someone they know. This week, we focus on sexual assault. What does it really mean to give consent to sexual intimacy? When a No means NO and when a yes means YES! How to tell the difference and govern yourselves accordingly. And the effects of not listening to or adhering to the NO... with so many cases lately in the media about men sexually assaulting unconscious women and GETTING MINIMUM SENTENCE (or not sentenced at all) from the courts, Sha and Jai talk about consent and how we can protect ourselves and our loved ones from applied knowledge. So let's talk about it!

How? Because they are told they should not have been at that particular place at that particular time; or they are told they are reaping the consequences of poor choices; or they are told they have a bad attitude so nothing good will come to them. Does this sound familiar? Society has created this demonic thing called "rape culture" that protects the predators and victimizes the victims. Is it right? Hell no! Can we change that? Hell yes! Will you join us in this conversation? We hope so. Making our (survivors of abuse) voices heard is step one of taking action. Co-hosts Jai and Sha unveils the truth behind rape culture and victim blaming.

Fire and Ice share some of those ways domestic violence affects the children. To see mommy's head being pushed into the wall, or mommy's eyes blackened but she covers it with makeup... what does that really do to the psyche? Oftentimes the children are neglected or overlooked, particularly if they are protected from the violence. But there is a such thing as emotional and psychological abuse. Let's talk about it, and how making a decision to remain in an abusive relationship can cause more damage than good. 00:44:00The FireandIce Showno#domesticviolence,#SexualAssault,#emotionalhealing,#emotionalsupport,#DomesticViolenceAwarenessThis episode addresses how domestic violence really affects the children in the home as they sit by watching the abuse or may even be abused as well!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/fireandiceshow/2016/08/04/college-life-and-sexual-violence--why-campuses-keep-it-quietSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/fireandiceshow/2016/08/04/college-life-and-sexual-violence--why-campuses-keep-it-quiet/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/fireandiceshow/2016/08/04/college-life-and-sexual-violence--why-campuses-keep-it-quietThu, 04 Aug 2016 15:00:00 GMTCollege Life and Sexual Violence - Why Campuses Keep It QuietWe know sexual violence occurs on college campuses, but why is it kept quiet?

But Fire and Ice, Sha and Jai, have both overcome these tragic circumstances, and, from our experience, share why victims remain silent. Is it because of society? Is it because of rape culture? Is it because how we are treated when we do share our story?

We understand the law differs by state, but overall, is the justice system working? If so, who does it defend more? The victim or the perpetrator? And by "working" what do we mean by that?

Yes, right after the blow to the face with a fist, or a kick in the stomach, or a shove against the wall, the words, "I'm sorry, but I love you..." come somewhere around that time. And so the victim is left feeling desolate, guilty if you will, that they've done something to cause the abuse. Love is tricky when it comes to relationships.
