Call Them By Their Right Names
“Labels aren’t just words. They’re weapons. They twist the story, erase the abuse, and protect the perpetrator. When you call a survivor a prostitute, you’re not naming her truth. You’re naming the lie that kept her silent.”
In this episode, Kimberly Revis Callis confronts the language that distorts sexual abuse and trafficking. A survivor-led call to reject mislabeling, reclaim voice, and demand justice through truth-telling.
The relationship between complex trauma and neurodivergence highlights how prolonged trauma, often in childhood, impacts development and brain function. Complex trauma can lead to acquired neurodivergence, affecting emotional regulation, social cognition, and executive functioning. Recognizing this link fosters compassion, enhances treatment approaches, and encourages acceptance by understanding trauma’s neurological effects.
Kimberly Revis Callis’s new book explores complex traumatic stress (CTS) and its connection to acquired neurodivergence. Blending personal narratives and research, it highlights how trauma alters brain function and identity. Emphasizing neuroplasticity, the work offers tools for recovery, promoting a holistic, survivor-centered approach to healing and emotional well-being.
