Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2449

Q & A call-in discussion with a survivor-professional, using an OPEN MIKE forum. We'll feature a survivor-professional co-host who'll field topics brought to the episode by you, the listener. ~~ Tonight the special co-host will be Linda Vidi, a survivor, counselor, writer, speaker, and advocate. Linda was sexually abused from age 6 through 9 by her biological father and continues to have repressed memories. She developed an eating disorder at age 10, alcoholism by age 16, and had multiple suicide attempts. Later Linda searched for a man to love her, but lost 4 pregnancies. Now a certified Christian Life Coach, Linda works with survivors, PTSD, cPTSD, anxiety, depression, dissociation, eating disorders, cutting, etc. She is currently writing a book about her family going back 4 generations in three countries. Titled “Letters to Ann,” the book is about a daughter who tells the story of her families' generational abuse on both sides. Linda is also a tireless NAASCA volunteer. ~~ On these episodes we welcome various co-hosts, survivor-professionals who'll assist in fielding questions and lead a variety of topics suggested by our call-in participants. Their trauma-informed perspectives as survivor-professionals will help them guide discussions on the issues of child abuse, trauma and healthy human sexuality that spring from questions and topics brought to us by our listeners. ~~ Everyone's invited to engage on tonight's show. ~~ Please visit the NAASCA.org web site.
