The mission and history of the SWEET Survivor Resource Group

🦋SWEET Survivor = SURVIVORS WORKING TO END EXPLOITATION AND TRAFFICKING!🎯

Hi, and Welcome to SWEET Survivor! I’m Linda Kay Gifford, CSA Survivor, NLP specializing in CSA-related cPTSD and Relational Sexuality, and founder of The SWEET Survivor Resource Group.

   I survived seven years of childhood sexual grooming and assault and, after a musical career that spans three decades, three sons, and includes openers with Willie Nelson and an International Bluegrass Music Award (IBMA) and Grammy Nomination as a songwriter on Del McCoury’s Album of the Year, I took out the “notes” and began to write in earnest about my experience as an adult survivor of childhood sexual grooming and assault, which I’ve learned is one of the most egregious and destructive kinds of personal horrors a child - adolescent- teen could be forced to bear and remember.

   After decades of various therapy and research, I found that neurolinguistic programming was the key to personal discovery and change, and am practicing and studying Neurolinguistic Re-processing. I specialize in cPTSD and Relational Sexuality.

   Joyce M. Short, fellow CSA and SA Survivor and founder of The Consent Awareness Network, #CAN, reached out to me, thanking me for my efforts with SWEET Survivor, and asked me to advocate for federal consent legislation. I am thrilled to embark on my first public speaking tour, presenting my Thrive in S-P-A-D-E-S! Method and Call it Assault! Advocacy on over 70 podcasts, TV shows, and even a couple of print magazines over the coming months!

   I teach Survivors to thrive, from the boardroom to the bedroom, and help partners and support personnel, medical and psychiatric professionals, and educators and spiritual advisors understand the unique complexities of complex-PTSD, the need for proper screening for cPTSD at medical intake, and how the common vernacular pre-disposes victims to NOT tell! I implore you to advocate for personal, societal, and legislative change!

I host two Video Podcasts…

 ~ My “Thrive in SPADES! Six Steps from Trigger to Happy!” Free LIVE CSA cPTSD Workshops @ 3 PM CST WEDNESDAYS are developed from my own triumph over a heart and life previously ruled by shame, fear of discovery, and cPTSD, and…

 ~ Those Nasty Women TALK! The Women’s Video Podcast for Men, too!
@ 4 PM CST THURSDAYS

I look forward to meeting you personally to take a broader conversational dive into sexual and societal issues as a whole… socially, politically, nationally, historically, anthropologically, ALL the “-lys”!

   I’m beginning a ZOOM Group meeting, forming now. We’ll discuss whatever any member feels like within the realm of kindness to other members, naturally! I’ll counsel as many as possible in the hour one by one. Hearing other’s struggles, and journeys to healing Create a sense of belonging and feeling cared for by others who have been there and know somewhat how you feel and what you’re going through. We go through it together! I’ll teach you trigger management tips and tricks for whatever comes up and talk about your suggestions in a question and answer format, too!

   Message to join! We are comparing times at present to choose the best day and time for the most people!
