The edge of the bed Podcast: Recent Episodes
The edge of the bed
My name is Ryan Gadsby and I am a child abuse survivor. I openly share my experiences and thoughts around the topic of child sexual abuse to open conversations and make abuse a more open topic. The edge of the bed podcast is all about uncomfortable, but necessary conversations around mental health, child abuse, trauma and general life!
In Today's podcast, we heard Arjunas's story of child sexual abuse. Arjuna was sexually abused by a friend of his mother then r***d at a later age by an older friend.
We discussed Arjunas's struggle with accepting his sexuality after abuse and the methods he has used to heal from his trauma such as yoga and meditation. You can keep up to date with future episodes on my Instagram @theedgeofthebed

In today's podcast, it's just me! I thought it would be good to catch up with you all and also discuss some topics I've wanted to for a while and also update you on some of the work I am doing behind the scenes.
I discussed: dissociative disorders and my experiences and story with depersonalization, derealization disorder. I also covered how you should react if a child tells you they are being sexually abused. I also spoke on my experience with PTSD and night terrors and meeting my abuser in my dreams. Finally, I spoke on my current mental health struggles and expressed how important I believe it is that I am vulnerable with you all.

In this episode I disscuss the Prison abolition movement In the context of child sexual abuse. I chose to bring in my friend Joseph Conway, who is a politics and anthropology grad from the university of Manchester who specialised in prisons and the arts, as he is a supporter of the movement and is educated on this topic. We also covered the poll I put out on instagram which posed the question : what is most important when dealing with sex offenders in the justice system? The four answers were: Rehabilitation, Protecting the public, Punishment , Deterrence. I really enjoyed my discussion with Joseph, he's the first guest I've had on the podcast who I know in real life! He was also around and in the same church as my abuser and me around the time the abuse was happening, which we also touched on.
