Episode 30 - Emotion at Work Stories - Working as an unhealed Victim of Child Abuse

As is often the case with our ‘stories’ series, the content has the potential to affect people, and so fair listener, I want you to take care with this episode, please. I am talking with my guest Katrina Colliner about how being an unhealed victim of child abuse affected her in the workplace.  She now describes herself as a ‘victor over’ her abuse and you can hear more about what she means by that in the episode.  

If you are affected by what we talk about and you are feeling particularly vulnerable, please remember you can call the Samaritans at any time on 116 123 and I have googled other places of support and added links the sites and organizations I found below.  

As this is a ‘stories’ episode there are no ‘references’ as such, there were a few things in particular that Katrina mentioned as things that helped her and I have added those too.  

 

Thanks for listening
