Domestic violence thrives in shame, secrecy, and silence.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to join the Law & Crime Network’s Prime Crime to talk about a subject that affects far too many people—and is still so often misunderstood. Law & Crime

One of the hardest things for victims can be the belief that they are somehow responsible for what is happening to them: Why did I stay? Why didn’t I leave sooner? Why didn’t I tell someone?

But those questions can place the burden in the wrong place.

The responsibility for abuse belongs to the person who chooses to use power, control, intimidation, or violence—not to the person trying to survive it.
Talking openly about domestic violence helps break the secrecy that allows it to continue.

When we work alongside trauma warriors, compassion is essential—but so is self-awareness.

Supporting others through pain can activate our own triggers, wounds, and unresolved experiences. Staying grounded doesn’t mean we never feel overwhelmed; it means we recognize our limits, practice honest self-care, and seek support before compassion turns into burnout or secondary trauma.

Join me for “Navigating Self-Care, Burnout and Secondary Trauma” at RISE UP 2026 on October 8, 2026, at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Together, we’ll explore how to protect our well-being while continuing to show up with empathy, strength, and integrity for those we serve.
You cannot pour from an empty cup—and caring for yourself is part of caring for others.

Sometimes reclaiming our childhood means having the courage to go back to the places inside ourselves we spent years trying to avoid.

The pain.
The shame.
The fear.
The little child who learned to stay silent because telling the truth felt too frightening.

For years, I thought healing meant putting the past behind me. I’ve learned that sometimes healing means turning toward it—with compassion, honesty, and the willingness to finally feel what we couldn’t feel when we were children.

When we dig deep and begin to work through the trauma, we can start giving our younger selves what they deserved all along: safety, protection, belief, love, and a voice.

And sometimes, something unexpected happens.

We find our way back to people who can witness our childhood with us. People who believe us. People who remind us that the shame was never ours to carry.

I recently experienced what it felt like to break a silence I had carried for decades—and to be met with love.

That kind of reconnection can reach places inside us that have been waiting a lifetime to be seen.

We cannot change what happened to our younger selves.

But we can go back for them.

Ian Bauer and I had the privilege of presenting “Building Trust and Resilience: Trauma-Informed Approaches for Attorneys” at the National Training Institute in Chicago.

It was especially meaningful to talk with attorneys and victim advocates about what happens when clients are seeking civil justice while also navigating the realities of delayed disclosure, PTSD, mistrust, and the lasting impact of trauma.

For survivors, pursuing justice can require them to revisit some of the most painful experiences of their lives. Understanding trauma isn’t just about knowing the clinical terminology—it’s about understanding how trauma can shape memory, disclosure, relationships, trust, communication, and the ability to engage in the legal process.

Our conversation today reinforced how powerful it can be when attorneys create an environment where survivors feel believed, respected, safe, and understood.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared your questions, experiences, and commitment to doing this work differently.

Trauma-informed lawyering can change the experience of seeking justice. And that matters. đź’™
