Integrated Healing for Survivors of Sexual Violence – Radio Interview

Published: May 24, 2012

The Founder and Executive Director of The Breathe Network, Molly Boeder Harris, is interviewed by host Diantha Harris on www.blogtalkradio.com discussing integrated healing for survivors of sexual violence. They explore what constitutes sexual violence or rather the spectrum of sexual violence, the impacts that sexual violence has on the body, mind and spirit, and innovative and holistic methods to address this kind of trauma and facilitate healing and resilience.

Molly founded The Breathe Network in 2012 in order to connect survivors of sexual violence with sliding scale, trauma-informed, holistic healing arts practitioners. She believes in the power of the healing arts to promote embodied healing that allows survivors of sexual abuse to reconnect their bodies with their minds and ultimately, their spirits. Having been fortunate and privileged to access many healing modalities to facilitate and sustain her own healing from sexual violence, Molly is passionate about making these life-changing and life-giving resources  accessible and safe (emotionally, financially, culturally and geographically) for survivors of sexual violence. Healing is a both our human right and and an innate ability, yet it requires access to support. When we can connect with healers and organizations whose services speak to the unique fullness of our experience and who we are as people, anything is possible.

Molly Boeder Harris
Molly Boeder Harris (she/her) is the Founder and Executive Director of The Breathe Network, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and a trauma-informed yoga teacher and trainer. Her own experiences surviving sexual trauma catalyzed her to enter the trauma healing field in 2003, beginning with her work as a medical and legal advocate with children and adult survivors, a campus violence prevention educator, and as a yoga teacher specializing in working with survivors. She earned her Master’s Degree in International Studies and her Master’s Certificate in Women’s & Gender Studies, which inform the way she holds both individual and collective forms of trauma and oppression close together in her work. Over the last 2 decades of her career and healing trajectory, she has found that the practices which recognize the whole person – body, mind, and soul – and which also honor the ways in which trauma and resilience manifest physiologically, offer the greatest possibility for embodied justice and social change.
