As a survivor of clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, I want to share my healing journey and connect with others as we explore transformation from woundedness to new ways of living fully. Despite the religious trauma, spiritual transformation is at the heart of my healing. Spirituality can mean many things to different people, but I found that the diverse spiritual experiences of different people significantly impact this healing. This podcast will allow me to share my story and invite others into conversations about spiritual healing from trauma.

Understanding Grooming in Sexual Abuse for Healing and Prevention

Jessica again invites her therapist, Dr. Russell Surveyer and Fr. Carl Chudy into a conversation about her experience of grooming. Dr. Russ explains about what grooming is Jess shares her own experience. It was that experience that helped her be alerted to help her young son, whose bus driver allegedly arrested for child porn possession. Jess recounts Fr. Kane and the child porn ring in the Diocese of Worcester years in the 1980's and 90's. Understanding grooming is not only an integral part of healing, but for abuse prevention as well.
