How does domestic violence affect children? And how do you rebuild a family bond with your children after escaping an abusive partner?

In episode one of There’s No Place Like Home: Paths to Healing, Sally Spicer interviews survivor advocate Bethany Adams and Berry Street’s Clinical Psychologist Dr. Sherryn Tobin.

Together they explore the hidden impacts of trauma on children - including the myth that they don’t sense what they don’t see - and the practical steps helping families heal. Bethany reveals how she and her kids rediscovered their ‘angel moments’ after escaping, while Dr Tobin explains how child-parent psychotherapy helps mums and kids to speak the unspeakable and put the blame where it belongs.
