Conversations Live with Pat Patterson and Stephanie Sinclair

Join us for a transparent conversation about topics that I often title “The Elephant in the Room.” These are topics that are often avoided, but necessary to discuss; depression, domestic violence, and suicide. Now is the time for more transparency and honesty to help others heal. We can’t wait for you to join us for this necessary conversation on Facebook.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”–That’s a Lie!

You’re worthless, dumb, ugly, fat, stupid, *%#$%*+!#, lazy, damaged goods, pathetic, disgusting, crazy, uneducated, broke, broken, hideous… Nobody else is going to want you. The harmful and hateful slurs continue on and on throughout a verbal and emotionally abusive relationship.   When have these words been spoken to you and about you? The old saying “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” is an absolute lie from the pit of hell. Words do hurt and can last a lifetime. How many of you are still hiding behind a mask because of what someone said to you as a child, pre-teen, teenager, young adult, adult, etc.? You understand where I’m coming from, don’t you? Words can have a lasting effect and damage a person’s self-esteem.

The Elephant in the Room: A Topic that’s often Avoided, But Necessary to Discuss.

A transparent discussion with Veronica Pryor Faciane as we share parts of our stories as survivors of domestic violence. #mentalhealth

According to the CDC, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience physical violence by their intimate partner at some point during their lifetimes. At least 5 million acts of domestic violence occur annually to women aged 18 years and older, with over 3 million involving men (Huecker & Smock, 2020).

I’ll ask the question again: Have you had an open, transparent, and honest conversation with your family, friends, colleagues, and employers about domestic violence? The time is now to #SpeakUp
