| “My Daughters were Kidnapped and Taken to their Non-Custodial Father's Home Country of Greece” Lizbeth Meredith Shares Her Story of Victory and How She Got Her Daughters Back | 02 Aug 2021 | 00:28:12 | |
Hello listeners and welcome back to the victim to victor podcast, my name is Anu and I am your host. In this podcast episode I have Lizbeth Meredith on my show. Lizbeth Meredith is a writer, speaker, and online teacher based in Alaska with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in psychology. She has worked as a domestic violence advocate and a child abuse investigator, and retired from government service two decades as a juvenile probation supervisor with at-risk teens. In 1994, Lizbeth Meredith’s life turned upside down. She said good-bye to her four- and six year-old daughters for a visit with their non-custodial father only to learn days later that they had been kidnapped and taken to their father's home country of Greece. At the age of twenty-nine, Lizbeth now faced a $100,000 problem on a $10 an hour budget. For the next two years fueled by memories of her own childhood kidnapping, Lizbeth traded in her small life for a life more public, traveling to the White House and Greece. It was the generous community of Anchorage which became Lizbeth's makeshift family, one that was replicated by a growing number of Greeks and expats overseas who helped Lizbeth navigate the turbulent path leading her back to her daughters. https://www.amazon.com/Pieces-Me-Rescuing-Kidnapped-Daughters/dp/1631528343 If you are interested in my book 'Victim 2 Victor', it is now available on audio and can be found on: Connect with me: | |||

| Conquer your Mind and live in a more Present State of Being | 29 May 2021 | 00:14:38 | |
Ego states develop as a way to cope from traumatic events which may have occurred in childhood. When children are under repeated distress, they do not develop a healthy sense of self or ego. Instead, the ego splits off into different states that are connected to the 'fight-flight-freeze' response. In this podcast episode, we will reflect back on & further draw conclusive evidence as to how childhood trauma, particularly that of child abuse & ego development, go hand in hand. We will also look at ways to help conquer your mind and to enable you to live in a more 'present state' of being.

| The Ego helps us to cope with Childhood Traumatic Events | 27 May 2021 | 00:11:24 | |
Ego states develop as a way to cope from traumatic events which may have occurred in childhood. When children are under repeated distress, they do not develop a healthy sense of self or ego. Instead, the ego splits off into different states that are connected to the 'fight-flight-freeze' response. As a childhood trauma survivor myself, I found it difficult to show my emotions and to be vulnerable all throughout my life and this affected my ability to form healthy relationships as I kept reliving the past. It is only as I have become more self-aware that I no longer want my ego to keep taking me back to the past. In this podcast episode I will be discussing the ego state and how it lays a distorted identity in case of child abuse. Listen on to find out how we can finally acknowledge and become aware of the ego and detach from the traumas of our past.

| Hypnotherapy as an effective technique for the treatment of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). | 03 May 2021 | 00:15:10 | |
In this podcast episode, I will be discussing hypnotherapy as a proven technique for the treatment of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Traumatic events leave scars on our minds which are encoded by the amygdala and stored with our other survival templates. If the tragic experience was judged by the brain to be life threatening, it triggers the amygdala to detect anything resembling the original traumatising event forcing you to continuously re-live the experience. Even though we consciously understand that we are not in danger, we are powerless to resist the automatic emotional response that has been hard coded into our neural pathways. Hypnotherapy is effective as it directly addresses the event(s) and their effects and allows us to access information and ‘data’ that is stored in our physical bodies, our subconscious mind, and our energetic fields. The traumatic event can be examined; the emotion surrounding the event and any negative beliefs can be released and transformed.

| The Powerful Healing Benefits of Reiki | 01 May 2021 | 00:12:02 | |
In this podcast episode, I will be discussing the powerful healing benefits of Reiki. Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that is widely used for trauma as it can help improve physical and psychological health after just one session. When we experience trauma, our esoteric body which constitutes our chakras and aura, can hold onto energy and if this is not processed, it can lead to mental, emotional, and physical blockages and discomfort. During Reiki, this stagnant energy is moved out of our energetic system and replaced with pure Source energy.

| Healing your trauma through Yoga | 29 Apr 2021 | 00:18:52 | |
Trauma is not just a historical event that happened in the past, it is actually the residue from the past as it settles into your body and is located inside our own skin. Being traumatized is when we become afraid of our physical sensations and our breathing becomes shallow, we become uptight and frightened about what we are feeling inside. In this podcast episode, I will discuss how yoga can be used as a powerful element in healing trauma. Yoga helps us to slow down our breathing and reduces stress. It re-activates our self-awareness and the areas that get locked out by the trauma and which are needed in order to heal. Yoga opens us up to feeling every aspect of our body’s sensation, it is a beautiful way for us to befriend our body, including the place where the trauma of the past may have been stored.

| 'Neuro - Associative Conditioning' in resetting your limiting beliefs and behaviours | 22 Apr 2021 | 00:08:40 | |
This podcast episode follows on from my previous episode on ‘decision-making and resetting your limiting beliefs’ in which I discuss Tony Robbins ‘Dickens Process’. Neuro-Associative Conditioning (NAC) is the process of conditioning a new habitual behaviour or response. Whether you want to change your thoughts or your feelings or your actions, this is an effective and proven technique. This process is so powerful and is based upon the strong emotional state that we create for the old belief/behaviour that we want to change. We also create a positive strong emotional state for the belief/behaviour that we desire and the goal is to naturally gravitate towards this based upon our emotional state. We are all responsible for how we feel and are in total control of our emotional state and so any pattern of behaviour or emotion that is continually reinforced will eventually become conditioned and automatic.

| Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT) in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) | 19 Apr 2021 | 00:13:22 | |
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be hard to treat and in this podcast episode, I will be sharing with you one of the most effective treatments which I used to help me to heal. In the 1920’s, Albert Einstein proved to us that everything (including our bodies) is comprised of energy. Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT) is a scientifically proven technique which can release any ‘blockages’ in our bodily energy and these blockages can be the source of emotional intensity and discomfort. Research that has also shown that after 6 sessions, 86% of sufferers in one study reported a dramatic and permanent reduction of their PTSD symptoms. EFT involves a sequence of repetitive tapping on acupuncture points whilst you repeat an activating phrase, which is based on cognitive behaviour therapy. EFT addresses the fear associated behind the patients’ physical symptoms and is a form of ‘psychological acupressure’ to clear the emotional block and uses simple tapping techniques to input kinetic energy onto specific points on the body as you think about any negative trauma and at the same time, voice positive affirmations. After tapping, you still have the emotion, but this emotion doesn’t own you. It’s not overwhelming. It’s just a memory. This is very similar to the outcome of EMDR.

| Resetting Your Limiting Beliefs for a life of Abundance | 17 Apr 2021 | 00:14:28 | |
In this podcast episode, I will be discussing one of my favourite Neuro-linguistic techniques of all time and one which I learnt at Tony Robbins ‘Unleash the Power Within’ event. It is a decision-making technique which gives instant results and I used this to reset my limiting beliefs about myself, this technique is called ‘The Dickens Process’. The essence of this technique is based on “Scrooge” and it shows the future that could be if he does not change his selfish ways. In this process, we use our conscious mind to visualise both paths - the path of destruction and the path to enlightenment. With the powerful emotion in the words that you use, it is easy to know which route you should choose and this process attaches the negative and positive feelings to both paths. What the process proves is that with a real emotional connection, we are more likely to succeed. I used this process to reset my beliefs about myself from feelings of unworthiness and of lacking self-esteem to those of self-love and empowerment. This process changed my life and it will change yours too.

| The link between Trauma and Emotional Eating | 15 Apr 2021 | 00:12:40 | |
Do you find that you tend to turn to food whenever you are feeling down? Emotional eating can be triggered by past trauma as it is a way for us to escape from and redirect any negative thought back to an area of positivity. Emotional eaters don’t tend to function well in the present as they are still living their past traumas. Many trauma victims may rely on food to play out the role of the abuser by forcing food down their throat which imitates perpetuating harm to the body and the victim role is represented as the helpless role of receiving the abuse. This allows the victim to maintain the recurrent events of the trauma whilst also enabling themselves to dissociate, distract and then to soothe the pain through their food obsession. In this podcast episode, I will be sharing by own experiences as well as some tips on how to control emotional eating.

| The importance of a social support system for domestic abuse survivors | 08 Apr 2021 | 00:06:00 | |
Women who experience intimate partner violence are more likely to suffer from mental health issues. It is common for women to become secluded and to not want to socialise anymore as they feel they are under the control of their partner.

Critical people already know that criticism doesn't really serve any purpose apart from objecting negativity onto others. So why do we still do it?

| Understanding the Shift From The 3D to 5D State of Consciousness | 20 Mar 2021 | 00:14:55 | |
This is an episode that I have been wanting to share with you all for a while now as it is a topic which lies close to my heart having experienced the shift from 3D to 5d myself over the years. I used to think that I was an outcast, I started losing interest in what I used to have in common with my peers. I became disinterested in the big car, the big house, gossip and I started taking responsibility for my thoughts and actions, rather than blaming others. I started to reflect on things that I did, communicating and thinking on a deeper level. I started attracting others who lived off a higher vibration and repelling those of a lower vibration. I was undergoing some major changes within myself and to a point in my life where peoples energies did not affect me anymore. This was my awakening.

| What leads to complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) and how does this impact on our well-being? | 18 Mar 2021 | 00:10:44 | |
Domestic violence and childhood abuse survivors can face ongoing and challenging effects of abuse and trauma. This leads to Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which occurs when trauma is not processed properly and 'filed away' in the way that other memories are. Triggers such as sounds, smells and words can cause you to involuntarily and vividly re-experience the trauma at a later stage and when you least expect it. Children who experience early childhood trauma, abuse or neglect are more likely to go on to develop profound and long-lasting mental health problems in adulthood, such as Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). This differs from ‘PTSD’ which is more typically associated with a single traumatic incident or set of traumatic events. The risk of developing C-PTSD is greater if trauma or abuse involves harm or abandonment by care givers and if it is repetitive and over a prolonged period of time, and if it occurs at a vulnerable age such as early childhood or adolescence, which are the critical years required for healthy brain development.

The damage caused by domestic abuse can be deeply damaging and long-lasting and those similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) sufferers. If you want the confidence to live an independent life that is free from fear, it’s important that you complete a successful healing process to repair the damage that’s been done to your sense of self-worth. Without an effective healing process, you could find it hard to move on. I will explore the steps to healing in this podcast. Part of the healing process after leaving any abusive relationship involves being kind to yourself. Accept that you weren’t to blame.

| Guided Meditation for Forgiveness & Acceptance | 08 Mar 2021 | 00:11:25 | |
Something which many of us struggle with is forgiving others when they have hurt us. To not forgive has negative consequences for us and our overall health as it creates negative emotional and mental states which can cause physical illnesses and create disharmony in our energetic system. It affects how we live our life, the experiences we have (and don’t have) and the type of people we pull into our life. We may end up bitter, resentful and negative about life and we often have an endless list of things which we are angry about or things that haven’t worked out or people who have done us wrong. Forgiveness comes after acceptance. You cannot reverse time, you cannot change things that have happened in the past, all you can do is accept that it did happen and see what you could learn from it. Forgiveness & acceptance is an inner process, something you do inside of yourself and this meditation will help you and guide you during your own forgiveness and acceptance process.
