How does domestic violence affect mums and their children? And how do you rebuild a family bond 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.
• The practical steps helping families heal. Bethany reveals how she and her kids rediscovered their ‘angel moments’ after escaping.
• Dr Tobin explains how child-parent psychotherapy helps mums and kids to speak the unspeakable and put the blame where it belongs.
