Healing Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA): Fire-Brown | TEDxGreenville

TedX Talk – Healing Adult Survivors of CSA, Greenville USA. Hear Fire-Brown discuss how she turned a childhood of abuse and tragedy into triumph and advocacy. She shares how healing oneself can help start a movement of healing others. She is the Founding Facilitator of American School Counselor Association (ASCA)-Atlanta, a weekly self-help support group for adult survivors of childhood abuse. Several years ago, Fire-Brown found herself triggered by memories, flashbacks and nightmares of her childhood sexual abuse. After struggling with the PTSD and traumatic impact of the abuse, she sought therapy and began to blog about her experience and healing journey. Through a Google search, she found ASCA and began working the 21 Steps to recovery. She journaled about the process and wound up with a book titled “Journal of a Suicide Failed,” which includes several paintings she did along the journey.
