We promise that by the end of this episode, you'll see boundary-setting as a transformative act of self-care and self-respect.

Through her story, and others, we unravel the art of communicating your needs clearly while nurturing healthy relationships.

From overcoming people-pleasing tendencies to understanding the risks of neglecting your own needs, we dive into the profound impact of setting clear limits.

Danny Masterson & The Church of Scientology
The Process of Healing
03/21/24 • 53 min
As we navigate the turbulent waters of trauma and seek the shores of justice, this episode stands as a beacon, illuminating the struggles and triumphs within the human spirit. We pay homage to our late friend and tireless advocate, Doug Scott Kramer, whose absence is profoundly felt, and whose legacy continues to resonate. Joining us as we discuss Scientology and the Masterson trial articulates not just the personal cost of such ordeals but also the profound courage required to confront them.
Within the confinements of the Church of Scientology, shadows loom large over the souls seeking solace. The Jane Does' battle against systemic victim-blaming and gaslighting unravels before us, casting a stark light on the harrowing paths they've tread in the pursuit of justice. The intersection of celebrity, internal power dynamics, and personal belief systems creates a labyrinth where accountability is elusive, and personal tragedies are often met with cold indifference.
Our episode is an odyssey of resilience, an exploration into the heart of advocacy, and a testament to the power of solidarity. We traverse the complex landscapes of disclosing trauma, the intricacies of the legal system, and the societal barriers that often muzzle the voices of survivors. As we close, we are reminded of the irreplaceable value of allies like Doug Scott Kramer, whose compassion and commitment to the survivor community burn as a guiding light for all who seek to emerge from the darkness of abuse into the dawn of healing and hope.
