3. Liz Mullinar - The Heal for Life Foundation treating trauma and the effects of abuse.
What are the long-term effects of child abuse on children? What are some of the barriers that make it difficult for survivors of childhood abuse to trust in service providers? Can people with lived experience of severe physical, sexual and emotional abuse in childhood find ways to offer therapeutic services in a way that improves opportunities for healing? In this episode the Liz Mullinar shares her inspirational story of how she came to found the Heal For Life Foundation (Mayumarri) in 1999 to provide a safe centre for survivors where they could heal from the devastating impact of trauma and abuse. The Heal For Life model has since helped over 8,500 people across Australia and the world and has been independently evaluated to achieve significant, long-term improvements in mental, social and emotional health. This provides a different approach to working with trauma andthe elements of the work could be integrated into many settings.

We probably should have asked her to be more specific - but we were brand new to this then and fumbling our way along...

In her intro Liz refers to her own childhood abuse as being ’satanic abuse’ Given her decision to describe her abuse specifically, then why oh why doesn’t she describe ’satanic’ child abuse given that she’s chosen to use it, particularly as she spends so much time referring to abuse both generally and in terms of therapeutic interventions and recovery.
