[Content Warning]: Child sexual abuse
Today Dave Markel, friend of the podcast and host of the S.A.S.S. (Sexual Assault Survivor Stories) podcast, is hosting a round table featureing three male survivors of childhood sexual abuse; David Weeks, Lee Cooper, and Robert Marshall. Each was affected in their own ways, but today in part two of this episode, they come together to discuss the differences theyβve seen between all male survivor groups compared to mixed groups or what theyβve heard from all female groups. They express the need for male voices to be more forward in this field of healing, not to detract from any female support in the world, but since men are less likely to report or disclose those who are able to speak out are vital to raising awareness. They also converse on the mixed signals a man has to sift through in order to have security in their sexuality. Lee Cooper addresses his shift from wanting to heal to wanting to speak out and take his perpetrator to court. In closing; Robert calls for those who have survived these abuses who find that telling their story isnβt enough to take up advocacy, David stresses that we need to educate youth in psychology to better protect them from predators, and Lee emphasizes the need for core changes in the judicial systems so that predators are not favored.

Join Jan and the remarkable Arci Grey as they delve into the fascinating world of neuroscience, trauma, and personal empowerment.
Arci, a survivor of multiple traumatic events, brings a unique perspective to healing. Through her innovative approach, Touchy-Feely Super Scienceβ’ (aka Applied Neuroscience), she guides individuals to unlock their true potential and embrace Post Traumatic Growth. Her upcoming program, Survivor to CEO, aims to empower survivors to discover their passion and unleash their inner CEO.
In the second episode, Arci presents her "Survivor to CEO" program, which combines trauma-informed principles with business acceleration strategies to help survivors achieve financial freedom and create goals-based plans that highlight their strengths, enabling them to reach their full potential.
The concept of "touchy-feely super science" is also discussed, which combines neuroscience, neurobiology, and quantum physics to regulate the nervous system. They introduce the three rules for healing trauma: No Dying, No Crying, and Grow.
Arci and Jan also talk about the impact of trauma on work, including missed work, difficulty feeling safe, and settling for less in terms of career opportunities and self-worth. Arci emphasizes the importance of regulating the nervous system to prevent physical health issues and the role of epigenetics in inherited diseases
