SHOW NOTES
On this episode, I become the guest, Michael Matucci, a filmmaker, director/ writer, and activist, asks me intimate questions about my life as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and the effects it had on my life decades later.
About Ed Squire
For over 20 years, I was a senior business consultant for Fortune 500 and global companies throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
In 2018, I started a nonprofit called 'MeToo, WhatNow,' advocating for survivors of childhood trauma and abuse. Now I've dedicated my life to helping survivors rebuild their lives from the ground up to reclaim their identity and restore their dignity.
From age 4 until 10, I was sexually abused by four men; my step-grandfather, a next-door neighbor, and my elementary school teacher.
In 2016, I filed a lawsuit against the teaching and the school board that hired him. I'm currently producing a documentary about the experience.
On this episode, Michael asks me the following:
- How I characterize my work with film and camera on videos?
- What compels and inspires me to create the kind of content that I do?
- What is the message I like to send about trauma?
- Why is it important for me to talk about the sexual abuse I experienced as a child decades later?
- What can manifest in a survivor's life if we don't deal with the past?
- What are some examples of coping mechanisms that survivors use?
- How do I change the “shame game” as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse?
- What is driving men to pay for sex?
- What would I say to the people who are working to stem the demand of men paying for sex?
- What is the one message I want to send to my listeners?
