When their relationship was exposed, she was ostracized—kicked out of her church and relentlessly bullied at school. Today, Alicia has turned her painful past into a powerful force for healing. As an art therapist and counselor, she now specializes in helping others work through grief and trauma, using her own journey to inspire and guide those who are struggling.Alicia's Links:Book: https://www.amazon.com/Artful-Grieving-Directives-Creatively-Bereavement/dp/1805013696/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=1GKKUCAP28K23&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.aZuo2-dcsP-_RsIsnb9yh5ig1RWsKt_LhxuqzvTmnS81-NI6pIel5t6y46vDQzj6.IjhhJAYglHKZe5TNUQyC6Qf_YzX0NJ7DwEhXOBu4WTA&dib_tag=se&keywords=artful+grieving&qid=1746968413&sprefix=artful+grieving%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-1Website: www.artfulgrieving.comIG: @artfulgrievingTIMESTAMPS00;02;12;28: What's it like being abused by a grandparent?00;03;32;05 Do children draw pictures of abuse?00;10;16;03 How does it feel having to see your abuser?00;12;22;09 What are trauma/abuse flashbacks like?00;16;08;24 Do abusers share explicit material? 00;27;05;29 How does grooming work?00;36;45;16 How do predators behave when they're not afraid?00;39;11;08 Do abusers get confident?00;42;13;17 What happens when people find out someone has been abused?00;46;24;25 What's it like being a victim who doesn't get sympathy?00;47;10;05 What happens when a child goes on the internet too young?00;49;52;22 How do predators make themselves sound when grooming?00;52;52;11 What's it like when your abuser dies?00;53;59;23 Are there child marriages in the United States?01;01;19;18 What's it like when your husband goes to prison?01;06;05;09 What is a trauma bond?01;07;06;29 What is it like picking your husband up from prison? 01;14;07;06 What's it like when your abuser dies?01;24;15;16 Do hospitals always report abuse?Topics: Grooming, Childhood Trauma, Church Abuse, Religious Trauma, Trauma Therapy
