Welcome to Breaking The Cycle To StepForward, the podcast where we open up honest conversations about recovery, resilience, and reclaiming our lives after abuse and trauma.
I’m Beverley, here with my co-host Chris — and today, we’re joined by Dr. Elly Hanson, a clinical psychologist and researcher whose work is helping to shine a light on some of the darkest corners of abuse.
In this episode, Dr. Hanson shares findings from her latest research paper, developed in collaboration with the NSPCC and NAPAC, focusing on the harrowing subject of ritual abuse.
Whilst this subject is challenging to even think about, it’s a reality that many children in the UK are still facing today. This conversation is about raising awareness, challenging silence, and standing in solidarity with survivors.
We invite you to listen with compassion and courage — because breaking the cycle starts with speaking the truth.
Let’s Break The Cycle To StepForward, together.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
