Many children are often told to kiss a parent goodnight or another member of family, even a family friend. However what about their choice? Is it rude if they don't want to - does a parent have a right to demand their child to do this in the act of Love? Chris and Beverley discuss this sharing their own thoughts and perspective following a post that Lawrence Fox released discussing this very subject about his son. What are your thoughts about this? We would love to hear them.

EP 33 - Shame ’On You’
Friday Jul 21, 2023
Friday Jul 21, 2023
Carrying around the 'shame' of abuse is what often prevents people from disclosing to others. The fear of being judged, or called a liar. Chris and Beverley share their own insights into how that feels and learning to understand that part of the abuse, is the perpetrator being able to offload the shame onto the victim - for them to believe it is their fault and hence their shame - which it is not. In this raw and authentic conversation they also talk about overcoming the messages and beliefs inside to release the shame and how to move forward.
