Welcome to Start By Listening! We are excited to have you on this journey with us toward healing and transformation.  Start By Listening is a podcast about sexual harm, trauma and advocacy.  We are going Back to the Basics for Season 2. This season, we will be delivering knowledge and content for the first podcast that drops the second Tuesday monthly, and real world application for the second podcast that drops the 4th Tuesday monthly. On this episode, New Beginnings podcaster Jennifer, The Friendly Therapist, and co-host/co-worker Becky Roby, begin to delve into the idea of what options exist for tackling the "how to respond" to grooming behaviors. Also for the parents out there who desire more information on the types of grooming behaviors - check out the book: Child Lures: What every parent and child should know about preventing sexual abuse and abduction - Author is Kenneth Wooden.
