WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:04.360 Hi, this is Rachel and recover. We've got a special guests coming back 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.679 to finish the show with Annet Shuster, as she's the executive of kids need 3 00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:14.560 to know. This is the second part. Thank you for listening. Here's 4 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.679 part what are some of the more innovative treatments out there you find helpful? 5 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.879 Well, the work that you know, I don't know that I could answer 6 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:33.000 that question as I'm not I'm don't sit in that you know world. Is 7 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:40.679 a psychotherapist. I think story work is essential to all work, but I 8 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.560 also think there's a lot of times there's a lot of work that needs to 9 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.079 be done before you can get to story work. So I think that's when 10 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.679 there's a variety of modalities are things that are helpful, whether it's Amdr whether 11 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:57.719 it's, you know, it's you've got to somatic expt you know, therapy 12 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.840 with the body. There's I think we're the more we learned about the body 13 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.760 and the effects of trauma in the brain and the body, the more it's 14 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.359 going to help us be effective as we work with victims. So I think 15 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:15.640 that I think that's where our world is right now. We're really continuing to 16 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:22.359 try to learn and try to apply the knowledge that we're learning and how to 17 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.879 help victims. And there's so there's not just one right way. You know, 18 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.359 it's different. You know you have to dividualize it. There's some things 19 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:36.879 that are common in marks victims, for every story is unique. Yes, 20 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.319 I think. I think healing at some point always a really need to take 21 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:47.079 place in the context of communities. Your harm takes place in the context of 22 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:53.319 relationship and I believe healing needs to do that. I think individual counseling, 23 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:59.680 individual therapy, but I also think, you know well run group therapy is 24 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:05.159 really essential and in learning that you're not you're not the only one with the 25 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.400 story and not the only one with the shame. And that isn't to minimize 26 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.800 what you're going through, but that's one of the things abuse does is isolate 27 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:20.240 us and we think that we're the only wants and I find group therapy to 28 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:25.439 just be such an essential aspect of healing. You know, I think what 29 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.879 we do in individual work helps prepare us for group work, but I think 30 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:38.240 the community work is one of the most important aspects of being able to to 31 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:47.120 heal. Now I just the unique foundation which now is called Suppora, and 32 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:58.719 they have a whole they have groups that are for sexual abuse survivors, but 33 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.360 they also have a retreat and it's like a for day retreat and I met 34 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.120 several goals on there and we stay in contact and as a survivor myself, 35 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.639 I find it super helpful. And the retreat is free. You just have 36 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.240 to you just have to pay to get there. Wow, well, that's 37 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.000 really good. What's so? What? What is their reach? Tell me 38 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:22.800 a little bit about their retreat. Well, the retreat is four days and 39 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:27.039 so they kind of just go into training about like the brain and how it 40 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:34.159 works and like the effects of sexual abuse and like you know, and dealing 41 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.479 with that. But they also have you do like Yoga and Tai Chei and 42 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:49.000 all like a in like kickboxing type stuff and our Mutai, and they also 43 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.800 like have like a professional chef and he like cooks all these healthy meals for 44 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.960 us. And, you know, they they just had everything you could possibly 45 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.680 you know, they had everything you can imagine just set up for you. 46 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.319 And I mean it's you know, it's a big thing of bringing people together 47 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:14.560 and getting away from their lives to find other people that are going through what 48 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:20.519 they have also been through and it's I think it's a great program look sounds 49 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.040 like something that definitely like to look into. I think there's a lot of 50 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:31.439 good programs out there, but definitely I haven't heard of any retreats like that 51 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.680 that you're talking about that are free. I know there's, you know, 52 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:42.879 the work that alander sooner does. Open Hearts Ministry also has a lay ministry 53 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.240 and they do teach people how to run groups and they also, you know, 54 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.720 their leaders continue to get to work on their stories. I think that 55 00:04:51.800 --> 00:05:00.360 there's a lot available for people. It's just it's definitely being able to find 56 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.000 a place where you feel safe. It's people who are educated enough not to 57 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:10.199 cause more harm, because there are people that you know, you can deepen 58 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.480 the harm that's there if you don't know what you're doing as well. House 59 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.240 definitely, and I think you know if you're going to lead those groups. 60 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.680 I mean I don't necessarily think you need to be counseling, but I do 61 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:27.759 think you need to have good training before you start leading those programs. Right 62 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.439 you need to understand the science of trauma. You need to understand your own 63 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:35.879 story. You can't help anyone further along in their story than what you've done 64 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.879 in your own work and whether you're a professional or whether you're a lay person, 65 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.319 you will have work to do into the day you go home and so 66 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:53.160 the day you leave this earth. And there's you know, most people want 67 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.279 to say, okay, when will I be done? When will I be 68 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.079 over this? And well, it will just be different, but there is 69 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.160 always work to do. So I think the really good leaders, no matter 70 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.879 what their initials are or not, after the names of the leaders, who 71 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:13.879 continue to do their work and they do it in the context to community. 72 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:21.839 Yes, most definitely. Um. Okay, next question. What do you 73 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:36.079 think the community could do to educate about sexually abuse better? So what can 74 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:41.759 you help clarify that question for me, like what you and I can do, 75 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.720 or what organizations can do? M I guess what organizations are. Communities 76 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.040 can do. They can be educated, they could choose to not live in 77 00:06:51.079 --> 00:07:00.480 denial and proactively, out of out of good solid knowledge, learn what it 78 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.360 takes to help reduce the RISKIC kids will be abused in their presence, in 79 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:10.319 their organization, when they're there with them. And parents need to be educated 80 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:15.959 because since you've you've interviewed and assaulter and she gets some great experiences, you 81 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:23.000 know, not experiences but examples in her book about not just leaving kids at 82 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.399 sacer practice and going off and doing your own thing, or, you know, 83 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.920 like actually knowing and being involved where your kids are, not just dropping 84 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:36.879 them off, whether it's the music lessons or so. I think every individual 85 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:44.240 needs to choose to be educated and at least be aware so that we can 86 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.319 begin to reduce the risk of kids being abused. If if we're if we're 87 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:54.439 willing to be, I think organizations can't make changes and less individuals are willing 88 00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:00.519 to acknowledge the reality and prevalence of abuse and the likelihood that somewhere their story 89 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:07.800 has has that in it. And when individuals then say really this, we're 90 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.639 done with this, not on our time, not in our space, then 91 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.079 what love means is that you're proactive, you don't live in denial, educate 92 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:22.600 yourself, you you do your best to screen, you know the truth about 93 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.480 perpetrators and how they work and victims and what they need, and you create 94 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.120 a community that's as safe as it could possibly be. We're never going to 95 00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.840 be able to ensure a hundred percent that abuse stops, but we can sure 96 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:46.440 reduce it by being aware and proactive. Okay, and how do you think 97 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:54.320 the church could do better at responding to sexual abuse? Oh Gosh, that's 98 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.960 a good one, I think. First of all, you know, I 99 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:03.840 think all churches need to actually be trauma and foreign churches. I feel like 100 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.639 that's just the responsibility of a healthy church, just to understand trauma and understand 101 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:15.600 the dynamics of abuse and it. You're not going to protect your body if 102 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.559 you don't understand abuse. So you're not going to protect your body if you 103 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:24.279 don't understand the dynamics of how perpetrators operate. And White Churches are the safest 104 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.799 place in the world for white churches are the safest place in the world for 105 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.240 perpetrators. So I think you have to have leadership that chooses to be aware 106 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:43.320 and lead and they have to be able to educate and so when they understand 107 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:50.919 what safe practices are for reducing risks, for for creating volunteer programs where screening 108 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.440 is adequate. You know, one of the things when I teach in churches, 109 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.399 one of the pre teaching questions that I ask Pres our questions is if 110 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.799 you've done a background check, you've interviewed the person, the background check comes 111 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.919 back clean, then you can be very confident you don't have a perpetrator that's 112 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.600 volunteering, and almost everybody says yes, and the answer is really no, 113 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.279 because only time you're going to know for sure if you have a perpetrator is 114 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.440 if they come back because they have, they have been convictive of a crime 115 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.360 and still not not all background checks are even going to pick those up. 116 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.200 If they're you know you can. If you look on a sex offender registry, 117 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.440 level one and two sex offenders are there, but level three sex offenders 118 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.000 are not there. The ones they don't think, they don't label as likely 119 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.240 to repeat, you're not going to find them on the sex offender registry. 120 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:56.559 So understanding. How do you create an environment where there's accountability work, where 121 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:01.480 you just have to understand all of those dynamics in order to help create the 122 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.159 safest environment possible? And when there's victims, then, because you are trauma 123 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:13.000 informed, then you'll have resources. You'll you'll be able to understand how not 124 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.279 to shame a victim, how to get a victim help. Have Resources for 125 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:22.639 victims. Have had resources within your church, whether there's groups where there's counseling, 126 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:28.879 whether there's a professional counseling. There has to be resources for them. 127 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.720 And then if there's someone that's a victim in a church that is accusing somebody 128 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.440 within the church, like say Church leadership, there's a legal protocol that needs 129 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.600 to be followed and they're never supposed to become an isolated judge and jury about 130 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.679 whether somebody's guilty or not guilty, or victims telling the truth or not. 131 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.200 Through the protocol that needs to be followed and it needs to always be reported 132 00:11:54.279 --> 00:12:00.159 either, depending on who the accused is, either to the child services or 133 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.519 to the police department. So they have to be trauma informed. If they're 134 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.440 going to take care of victims, they have to have programs that are set 135 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.960 up that are meant to provide support to victims and they need to believe victims. 136 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.919 They need not to be the judge and jury about whether someone's telling the 137 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.919 truth or not. That's for the legal system to begin to work on. 138 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.440 and has there been improvement in the church? Well, I think. I 139 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.519 think there's been improvement. I think, sadly, improvement can't come unless there's 140 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:41.320 been exposure of tremendous harm. So I think more churches are aware. Like 141 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.759 if you, if you just, if you ever felt like doing it, 142 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.320 spending an afternoon and just randomly going through the churches in your community and looking 143 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:58.559 at their website, you'll find churches now that have very clear child protection policies. 144 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.840 If, well, they may say they want volunteers and their church there 145 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.600 is there is at least a screening process that they need to go through, 146 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.639 and so I think the churches that take it seriously you're going to see it 147 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:18.039 on the front page of what they do on their websites, and so I 148 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:24.639 do think that there's improvement. I also think because of lawsuits, insurance companies 149 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:31.799 have required churches put some safer practices into place because if they, you know, 150 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:37.519 they'll right clauses into the insurance policies that, if you know, summers 151 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.759 a volunteer or employee of that church is accused of sexual abuse, there's a 152 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.759 there's a clause in there that they won't cover it. So I think that, 153 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.799 God is said to me churches more aware. So I do think that 154 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:58.000 there's improvement, but gosh there's a long ways to go. Yeah, I 155 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.639 know a lot of grants right now. To get to get a grant, 156 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.600 you have to like for mental health fields, they have to be trauma informed. 157 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:13.440 So I think that's a good policy to have in place. Last two 158 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:20.759 questions. What do you do for self care? MMM, well, that's 159 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.360 a really good question because I have to work on that. It's an area 160 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.919 where I can certainly improve, but I think it's a new I mean I 161 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.759 have a lot to balance. I'm adopting my fifteen year old granddaughter who adoption 162 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:39.159 will be complete tomorrow. I'm a lenkal guardian of my nineteen year old grandson 163 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:45.639 that has a lot of issues. So just as a kind of parent, 164 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.200 I have to work at self care. So I try to do little things. 165 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.039 You know, they can always be big things, but try to find 166 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.639 some time every day where I don't have anything buddy I need to answer to 167 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.480 for anything, whether I just go sit on my chair and rock in the 168 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.080 backyard a little bit, whether I kind of practice what I teach and I 169 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.919 get up when I do my morning pages, so that at least I stay 170 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.240 connected emotionally and all my yet gets to go someplace and I don't just carry 171 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.879 it around with me. And then I have friends in community that I know 172 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.360 that I can always turn to when I need to and every now and then 173 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.879 I try to do fun things. My friend. Thing is I like going 174 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.039 to baseball games, so I will go to a baseball game or or when 175 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.600 I can, I will hike or I love to travel. So but traveling 176 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.559 hasn't been part of life really for the past few years. How good old 177 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:48.679 covid? Yeah, good old covid. How has this impacted your faith? 178 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.759 Gosh, I've been all over the place with my faith. So when you 179 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:58.200 say this, what do you mean by this? Like your work with sexual 180 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:04.399 abuse, being sexually abused? I guess all of them. I think we 181 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:11.399 probably need a lot of years to unpack that one. I've just gone. 182 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:17.679 I've gotten through seasons of believing, believing God was good and I was bad. 183 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:23.840 I believe God is a perpetrator and I was the victim. I've hated 184 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:30.159 God, I've tried to disown God. I angry, angry, angry, 185 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:40.200 and yet it at the same time it's really it's my home base and through 186 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.799 all of these years of wrestling, it's like there's so much I just don't 187 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:51.480 understand right. I can't comprehend. I can't comprehend the harm that takes place 188 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.840 in this world and the suffering that takes place in this world and not just 189 00:16:53.879 --> 00:17:02.639 through sexual abuse and get the same time, at this point in my life 190 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:07.519 anyway, I can also come back to a place of and I don't get 191 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.920 it, but I really believe my safe place is God and that he is 192 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.640 good, that he is loving, and I just don't get it a lot 193 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:22.839 of times. So sometimes nature is what brings me back to that reality, 194 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.440 you know. Like you know, I find peace so much in nature and 195 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:33.039 I think that is a gift that reminds me that that there really is something 196 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.079 bigger than myself. And then, you know, I know where I've come 197 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:38.799 from in my story and where I am now, and I certainly did get 198 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:45.519 there on my own, and so it helps me really hold old faith for 199 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:52.079 others that just they don't have any and they can't see beyond their pain and 200 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:57.599 their hopelessness. So I don't know that I've really answered your question, but 201 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:07.519 it's certainly rather it's not a it's not my relationship with God is certainly not 202 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:12.440 a relationship, but there's not a lot of wrestling. Well, I think 203 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.319 all of us can at acknowledge that at some point in our line. I 204 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:22.200 mean and and I can get done in meeting someone and I don't know swhere. 205 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.960 Words are appropriate here. So I'll just try not to but I'll just 206 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:30.599 say, what are you thinking, God, like, really like, I 207 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.920 don't I just don't get you. But it doesn't turn into like it did 208 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.759 at one point in my life, two years of rage. It's just like 209 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:45.759 I don't get you. And yet, you know, I know when I 210 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.640 go to bed at night, I have some stuff that I listened to and 211 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.759 it's like, okay, that's okay, I can come to a place of 212 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:59.160 comfort and rest at this moment in time. And so I don't know, 213 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:06.599 it's a it's definitely made my faith very living, very alive, very real. 214 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.880 I can I can be mad and you swearing it got in and really 215 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:18.000 love him deeply and be worshiping him also, maybe not a bipolar but I 216 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.960 don't know, all over the place. It's just what's real. You know 217 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.279 well, I mean I think when we deal with the stuff, especially day 218 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:33.839 in a day out, Hey, it makes this question things and depend on 219 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:40.759 him more than we ever thought we we would need to be dependent on him. 220 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:45.400 Right, and and yet as much as like I love him, I 221 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:51.880 just don't get it most of the time and and I just I often I'd 222 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.160 like, really, I don't get it. I just I don't get it. 223 00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:02.279 And yet took a thing. I don't have to figure it all out, 224 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:04.359 because if I had to come to all my own conclusions, then I 225 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:11.119 probably be really angry, bitter and a harmful force in this world rather than 226 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.559 trying to be a helpful force. Aparenthot, I had my season of life 227 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.640 where I was so waging angry that I was more of a harmful force, 228 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:27.400 and I then helpful now. I think many survivors feel that way at some 229 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:33.319 point. Well, when I finally believed I had permission to be mad at 230 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.079 God, boy as I'm ad all those years of believing it was wrong, 231 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:42.200 I took care of that one. And there was such a gift because, 232 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.599 you know, he didn't strike me dead, he didn't lightning, didn't come 233 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:53.039 down, he didn't just sell me. Well, okay, maybe nothing can 234 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:57.160 separate me from the love of God, even my doubts, more like a 235 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:03.039 faith at times. Fair enough. Anything else you would like to add before 236 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.279 we wrap up? No, I don't. I don't think so. Thank 237 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.440 you for the your patience and getting this all together and for the work you 238 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.920 do in the stories you listen to.
