In Jackie’s interview with Lynda Sunshine West, you’ll learn how running away as a five-year-old (to get away from an abusive father) and being gone for a week led to the belief that nobody loved her, which shaped her into a people pleaser who was ruled by fear, and how she overcame it.

One is it helps you to heal. And the other thing is you can help others heal also through your story.” “Even though I was no longer with the abuser, the abuse was still in my head and now I became the abuser of myself.” “When you leave an abusive environment, you can't go back to the same environment because it’s going to help pull you back in. So find those people in your life who do believe in you, who do want to see you succeed and surround yourself with those people.” “When I know the cause, I can move through it.” “Once we have awareness, we can make a decision. And the decision is to stay the same or to change. Either way, we're making a decision. I have awareness. If I decide to stay the same, I have made that decision.” “The majority of my fears were based on the fear of judgment. That fear is the biggest fear.” “When we find our purpose, it's our job and duty to spend the rest of our lives living on purpose instead of living on accident.” “See the opportunity, then seize the opportunity.” If you’re interested in working with Jackie or booking her to speak at your event, conference, school or company, click here to schedule a quick Connect Call via Calendly (https://calendly.com/jackiegraybill/connection-call) For more information about your host, Jackie, copy and paste this link into your browser to

Can Men Experience Abuse Too?

Bio + Cool Quotes from this Episode's Guest: Lee Marks is the founder of Break the Silence UK and began the organization following the release of “Break the Silence,“ his support guide for male victims of domestic abuse. This book is now used in a number of male domestic abuse services across the UK as well as being on the approved reading list for the domestic abuse diploma at his local university. Following the success of this, Lee has gone on to write his first fiction novel “The Silent Truth,“ again based around a male victim of domestic abuse that has received very high praise indeed. Lee is a qualified CBT and NLP therapist and is currently undertaking his Masters degree in Understanding Domestic and Sexual Violence. “Has your partner ever portrayed any behavior that made you feel a bit uncomfortable? If so, let's talk about that.” “What we hear all the time is domestic abuse is a gendered crime. It is not. Domestic abuse is a crime that can happen to anybody.” “I'd like to say one day I'd fully recover, but I think domestic abuse changes you as a person. And I think that aspects of the way that it changes you, that you can't go back to how you were. And what you have to do, is you're recreating the best possible you, you can, from that situation that you've been in. And it's about having the right people around you that are going to support that process. Over 11 years since I came out of that relationship, and it's still an ongoing process, I'm still learning about me, I'm still learning about who I am. I had to become a whole new person. I'm not the person I used to be.” If you’re interested in working with Jackie or booking her to speak at your event, conference, school or company, click here to schedule a quick Connect Call via Calendly (https://calendly.com/jackiegraybill/connection-call) For more information about your host, Jackie, copy and paste this link into your browser to check out her milkshake (Linktree alternative ;): msha.ke/jackiegraybill Recommendations in the Episode: Organizations Break the Silence: The Organization Lee Founded (https://breakthesilenceuk.co.uk/about-us/) Video for Break the Silence UK (https://youtu.be/ZL2CgNGbjjQ) The Court Said UK (https://thecourtsaid.org/) Books Break the Silence: A Support Guide for Male Victims of Domestic Abuse (by Lee Marks) (https://read.amazon.co.uk/kp/embed?asin=B09MD8QX7N&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_HJ5Y50D0BCR2RPYYYBHR&tag=jackiegraybil-21) The Silent Truth (by Lee Marks) (https://read.amazon.co.uk/kp/embed?asin=B095RHR1NK&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_07DN8KZDCBE8EFVVRWN5&tag=jackiegraybil-21) <a...

The Power of EFT Tapping On Trauma Responses

Time stamps for EFT Tapping Session on feeling powerless and pulled back toward your unhealthy relationship: 47:18-59:50 Free resources are available to download on Kim’s website (https://www.kissgoodbyetoana.com/) Kim's Book: How to Kiss Goodbye to Ana: Using EFT in Recovery from Anorexia: (https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Kiss-Goodbye-Ana-Recovery/dp/1785924648/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=) Whoopi Goldberg and the Duchess of Cornwall overcome their fear of flying with Tapping ( https://www.bodyconfidencesolutions.com/blog/EFT-Fear-of-Flying) Dr. Peta Stapleton, Australian EFT Researcher (https://petastapleton.com/resources/the-ultimate-tapping-guide/) Kim Marshall's Bio: Kim Marshall founded Kiss Goodbye To Ana following her own recovery from anorexia and bulimia. She now helps women with eating disorders and particularly anorexia, to feel more relaxed about food and their bodies, and to feel free without anxiety. She discovered EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques - a therapy which involves tapping on meridian energy points on the body, similar to acupuncture but without the needles, which help us release negative emotions so we feel more calm and relaxed) which turned her life around and helped her become confident, positive, and relaxed about food and her body. She became an EFT Practitioner and now helps others achieve the same, focusing on changing their mindset and addressing the root cause. She also became a Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner (an advanced form of EFT which helps replace negative memories with positive experiences). She is a member of both professional organisations, AAMET (Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques) and EFTMRA (Emotional Freedom Technique and Matrix Reimprinting Academy). She is a Thrive Global, The Mighty, Huffington Post and Recovery Warrior blogger. She has had blogs published by Beat and National Eating Disorders Association (Eating Disorders Charities) and has been interviewed on local radio, in the press and has been featured in Bella Magazine. Kim feels completely recovered now and she writes to offer hope and encouragement, and provides practical advice and techniques on how others can give themselves the best chance to break free. She knows that some unfortunately haven’t had the same happy ending and her heart goes out to their families, and it is in memory of those tortured souls that she has written her first book. She prays that no one has to endure further suffering to the devil in their head. EFT is a relatively unknown therapy but for herself and her clients, it has been life changing. She wants to bring awareness to this easy to learn yet powerful technique and show exactly how it can be used to help with recovery.
