概要

Dissociated — Breaking Silence. Building Joy.

There was a time when silence was survival. But silence doesn’t last forever.

Host Sheryl Brown survived fifteen years of childhood sexual abuse by her adoptive father. Decades later, when her niece came forward about the same man, Sheryl finally found her voice.

In this deeply personal and hopeful podcast, she shares her journey from trauma to truth — and the light she discovered through the cracks.

Each episode blends intimate storytelling with conversations from survivors, therapists, and authors, exploring what it means to heal, to reclaim your power, and to build joy after pain.

Because the cracks in our stories aren’t where we break.
They’re where the light gets in.

  • S1 | E6 | When Dissociation Became Survival

    In this episode, the abuse reaches its most relentless form. Access expands. Protection thins. Fear no longer comes in spikes — it becomes constant.


    This is the season when summer stopped being a break and became exposure. When responsibility became a trap. When survival stopped feeling temporary and started feeling permanent.


    And this is where something inside me changed.


    At the height of it, my mind and body chose dissociation. Not as a strategy I selected, but as a survival response I didn’t yet understand. I learned how to leave without leaving. How to disappear and still function. How to endure what felt unendurable.


    I also share a present-day truth: his death, my indifference, and the complicated grief I carry for the children we were raised alongside.


    This episode explores the severity of prolonged abuse, the cost of surviving it, and the powerful intelligence of a body determined to stay alive.


    Content warning: This episode discusses escalating abuse and dissociation as a trauma response.

    In this episode, I continue the childhood timeline and move into the middle years — a period where what had already begun didn’t stop, but quietly adapted.


    As my body changed and my awareness grew, the harm reshaped itself around me. Boundaries were crossed more frequently, silence became a survival strategy, and daily life continued on the surface while something very different was happening underneath.


    This episode explores how endurance takes root, how roles inside a family system solidify, and how survival can look different for siblings living in the same house.


    This is not the beginning of the story — and it isn’t the end.

    It’s the long middle, where surviving became a way of life.


    Content note: This episode discusses childhood trauma and boundary violations. Listener discretion is advised.

  • S1 | E4 | Groomed: Living Two Lives to Survive
    2026/01/21

    Send a text

    In this episode, I return to my childhood timeline during a period when grooming intensified and survival became something my body learned before my mind could name it.

    I share how gradual boundary shifts, confusion, and manipulation trained compliance and silence — and how dissociation allowed me to live two lives at once: one that looked normal, and one that existed in fear.

    CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes more detailed discussion of childhood sexual abuse, grooming, and trauma responses, including the emotional and physical impact of those experiences. While explicit graphic details are avoided, listener discretion is advised.

    This is not a story told for shock.

    It’s told to explain how grooming works, how survival strategies form, and why so many survivors struggle to identify harm until much later.
