Episode 41: en(gender)ed Reflections on healing from abuse

In this "Reflections" episode, Teri & Michael reflect back on the past six #SurvivorStories - Episode 30, with Anita Gera and the misuse of the Hague Convention to harm children, Episode 31, with "Caitlin" and the danger of shared parenting with an abuser, Episode 32, with Lana and her "Sophie's Choice" to protect her daughter from CSA, Episode 35, with Maria Santiago on the impact of childhood domestic violence, Episode 36 with Ashley Bendiksen on healing through advocacy, and Episode 37 with Sarah Strong on mitigating coercive parenting with an abuser. 

Teri and Michael co-host the en(gender)ed reflections episodes which serve to help curate a series of past episodes, usually around a specific theme.  We hope these episodes help listeners coming in at that point of the podcast identify particular episodes and themes that they may want to explore. During our reflection, we talked about these additional resources:

• Trevor Noah on Getting Pulled Over in America versus honking at a police officer in South Africa
• Frequency of child sexual abuse through RAINN
• The Lifetime documentary Surviving R. Kelly
• Vox article on whether and if you can separate the artist from the art titled, "What do we do when the art we love was created by a monster?"
• Backlash on Terry Crews for his sexual abuse claims
• Teri's post about an apology video from women to men titled, "It's Authentic Gaslighting--Not Authentic Love"
• The Netflix documentary "Abducted in Plain Sight" and the main character's grooming of not just the victim but also the whole family
• Teri's appearance on BlogTalkRadio, talking about "Personal Governance:  Leveraging a Feminist Mindset"
• The YouTube series trying to bridge the gap called "Middle Ground"
• Teri's blog post on the spectrum of abuse and accountability
• New York Times article titled, "No Time for Bullies: Baboons Retool Their Culture" about the effects of an accidental matriarchal culture on the society of baboons
