Hosts: Chris Tuck & Beverley Ann Fenlon

In this powerful continuation of the recovery series, Chris and Beverley dive deeper into the transformative journey of healing by exploring the art of listening to yourself. This episode focuses on reconnecting with the inner child, tuning into the physical body, and honoring emotional truth—all essential elements in the recovery process.

Through heartfelt conversation and personal insights, they discuss how survivors of trauma often disconnect from their inner voice and bodily signals as a survival mechanism. Recovery, they explain, involves gently rebuilding that connection, learning to trust your instincts, and embracing the wisdom within.

Whether you're on your own healing path or supporting someone who is, this episode offers compassionate guidance and practical reflections to help you step forward with greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.

Welcome back to Breaking The Cycle to StepForward, the podcast where healing, hope, and honest conversations come together. In this powerful episode, Beverley Ann Fenlon is joined once again by co-host Chris Tuck to explore a vital question in the recovery journey: Is healing best nurtured in a group setting, or through individual work?

Together, Beverley and Chris dive into the dynamics of group workshops—what happens when survivors come together, share, and support one another—and contrast that with the deeply personal impact of one-on-one recovery. Drawing from lived experience and professional insight, they unpack the strengths, challenges, and transformative potential of both approaches.

Whether you're navigating your own path or supporting someone else, this episode offers heartfelt reflections and practical wisdom to help you step forward with clarity and courage.

Welcome to Breaking The Cycle To StepForward, the podcast where we open up honest conversations about recovery, resilience, and reclaiming our lives after abuse and trauma.

I’m Beverley, here with my co-host Chris — and today, we’re joined by Dr. Elly Hanson, a clinical psychologist and researcher whose work is helping to shine a light on some of the darkest corners of abuse.

In this episode, Dr. Hanson shares findings from her latest research paper, developed in collaboration with the NSPCC and NAPAC, focusing on the harrowing subject of ritual abuse.

Whilst this subject is challenging to even think about, it’s a reality that many children in the UK are still facing today. This conversation is about raising awareness, challenging silence, and standing in solidarity with survivors.

We invite you to listen with compassion and courage — because breaking the cycle starts with speaking the truth.

Let’s Break The Cycle To StepForward, together.

This month's question is about taking the mask off with Chris and Beverley sharing insights into their own Lived Experience of overcoming Abuse and what balance means to them. Whilst they both champion wellness and having a vision, there are times when it is not always fund and laughter, and it's good to acknowledge those days, too.
