Meet Frank Rogers
Survivor. Teacher. Author.
Frank experienced intergenerational abuse in several ways: he was sexually abused by his mother from infancy throughout his childhood and raped by his step grandfather twice. He was also abused by a priest at 7 years old, who wanted to play sex games.
He lost his sister to suicide because she couldn’t cope with her own abuse memories.
He has done lots of healing, and wants survivors to know that feelings and emotions are there for a reason: and to take the U turn to understand why the are there. Our linked Survivor tip #36 will be on validation, as he found validation really helped him through movies, podcasts, books, memoirs and hearing about others survivor stories.
You can reach out to him and find his books at: frogers@cst.edu
