Shadow Worlds & Sacred Truths: Trauma Nurse Dana on Ritual Abuse, Propaganda, and the Power of Witness - best of
Description
In this intense and necessary episode of Conversations with Joshua T. Berglan, Joshua steps into the shadows with Dana (aka @rottingjewels), a critical care trauma nurse and fearless researcher. Together, they confront the disturbing realities of Ritual Abuse (RA) and the systematic gaslighting of victims, dismantling the narrative that the "Satanic Panic" was merely mass hysteria.
Dana combines her medical background with deep investigative research—citing works like Dave McGowan’s Programmed to Kill—to expose how trauma is often generational and systemic. They discuss the complexities of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) not as a disorder to be stigmatized, but as a brilliant protective mechanism of the human brain. Amidst the discussion of dark topics, Dana shares her profound sense of gratitude found in the ICU, offering a message of hope: that validating survivors’ stories is the first step toward healing a fractured world.
