Episode #26 What You Can Do about Sex Trafficking

Stacey Diane A. Litam Ph.D. is back on the show to help us understand how to recognize and respond if you suspect someone is being trafficked or if someone has been trafficked. In this second episode, of a two part series, Stacey lists the signs someone is being trafficked, the challenges in identifying perpetrators, the problems with idolizing “The Pimp Game” and ways traffickers use conduct of control and controllability to gain access to victims. Braxton and Stacey talk about domestic trafficking and ways teachers, therapists, and parents can best report suspected trafficking. Stacey explores what therapy has been helpful to survivors of trafficking and best ways to respond to survivors. 

Stacey reports her findings on the way we use language in working with survivors of sex trafficking and how it affects the way therapists, teachers and parents view/react to a person.
