This week I posted the following on my blog. The more I speak in front of people about the issue of child sexual abuse and prevention the more I become aware of the feelings of discomfort in the room. And it is not all coming from me!
I admit when I first started sharing my story in front of people I am pretty sure that I left my body. It has been a long road to recovery and now I can honestly say that I am thriving and living a joyful life. What I love to notice and guide people through is how to take responsibility for how they feel and what to do, when they hear the hard facts of child abuse and trauma. You can’t help others if you have not helped yourself first!
Hopefully this is helpful to some of you that are out there helping others!

Co-founder of www.blattafram.is a nationwide Child Sexual Abuse prevention and education program in Iceland and survivor of child sexual abuse. Trainer and facilitator for Darkness to Light Stewards of Children. Currently Program Director for www.TAALK.org in CA, USA. My hope is to lead by example in breaking the silence on this most damaging and pervasive issue. I speak openly and directly about the abuse I suffered, my personal healing journey and dedication to the issue of CSA and prevention, and by doing so hope to educate all responsible adults. I have dedicated my life to ending the cycle of abuse through education, awareness and supporting survivors in how to get the help they need.
