Today I’m honored to introduce to you: survivor and child abuse advocate, podcaster, woman of God, independent researcher, investigative and educator, and hero: Jaymee Jay!
A little bit about Jaymee in case you missed her first episode
Jaymee is someone I’m really excited for you all to meet. Although Jaymee’s upbringing wasn’t without it’s dysfunction, Jaymee has always been an incredibly intelligent and empathetic person who has excelled in many endeavors she has taken on in life. She could literally be doing anything else with her time, energy and voice, and instead - she chooses to volunteer her time researching and educating on topics such as SRA and DID as well as being a survivor advocate. I can’t tell you how much I admire Jaymee for stepping into a fight she could have simply studied from the sidelines and never spoken publicly about. I consider her to be a hero for braving speaking out as a survivor ally knowing it puts a target on her back and despite it being something she hasn’t made a single penny for. She is one of my heroes for her bravery and courage and I know all of you listening on the other side of the screen who are OR aren’t survivors will find - and have found - her just as awe-inspiring, courageous, and incredible as I do!
The first time Jaymee was on, we did a deep dive into the Satanic Panic and an important book in history called ‘Michelle Remembers’ that really kicked off this massive coverup period of the MSM denying the existence of satanic ritual abuse and beginning the ‘conspiracy theory’ lies around it. Jaymee drew out the timeline of the satanic panic and shared the impact this time in history had on survivors and the survivor movement and what we can do to make sure it never happens again.
Today, Jaymee is back to talk more about the implications that have happened as a result of the satanic panic time period including discussions about survivor advocacy, the law in regard to SRA, secondary victimization of survivors who come forward, infiltration of the survivor movement and so much more. With more and more survivors coming forward to speak out, the traps along the way can often be just as occulted and confusing as the abuses they are exposing. Speaking out is not without it’s personal implications - and we have heard it all on this podcast with the playbook of punishment, retaliation and intimidation tactics used on survivors turned whistleblowers. And in order to progress this movement forward in a healthy and safe way, I believe survivors need to be aware of the new playbook that exists online and on social media. Now, perpetrators don’t have to show up at your doorstep to intimidate, gaslight or gangstalk you. They can do all this and more right from their phone or by inviting you on a popular podcast where they can intimidate or gaslight you. It’s important to note that this episode isn’t to cause fear - but rather to give you tools to help navigate this new terrain while providing safe advocacy and spaces for survivors to speak out as they come forward. Disclosure can cause vulnerabilities, and abusers can spot them a mile away. And just because someone has millions of followers doesn’t mean they are safe or that they have the best intentions in mind for survivors. If we can do our due diligence to exercise our discernment, then we can work as a community to ensure we are rallying around survivors and providing safety for them - even amongst unsafe territory or people. Transparency and being well-informed of the risks, dangers, and traps of disclosure can help to make sure we don’t ever allow for another false ‘satanic panic’ narrative to arise and take hol
