Today I’m honored to have back on the show for a second time: MK ULTRA, SRA, and human trafficking survivor, podcaster, father, anti-child abuse advocate, educator, and another incredible male warrior using his voice to make the world a safer place for our children: Doug McIntyre!
Doug was born into a multi-generational incest-based family where - like many other survivors of SRA and extreme trauma you’ve heard on this podcast - he was brutalized to the point of dissociation which created amnesic barriers and a double-life that he wouldn’t be aware of until much later in his life. Doug’s abuse was perpetuated by people who should have been protecting him including family and other members of the cutt network his family was a part of and his journey to healing and recovering memories is still an on-going process.
Doug was on ‘The Imagination’ Podcast recently as a guest on the ‘MK ULTRA, Psychic Abilities & Spiritual Gifts’ Panel episode we had and I met him initially through another guest on that episode, Rachel Vaughan. One of the most special parts about the connection between Rachel and Doug is that by meeting and sharing their testimonies, they realized that they are distant cousins and became fast friends. If you remember, Rachel cited Doug’s name and research on the eye-opening piece of her interview where she discussed central heterochromia. Having been exploited for his spiritual gifts and abilities as a child, Doug has done some incredible research on the topic of psychic abilities and spiritual gifts and we are all so lucky to get to learn this ground-breaking information from him! If you missed Doug’s first appearance on the psychic panel - go check that episode out as it was a phenomenal episode with Rachel and Max Lowen! I’ll have it listed in the show notes!
Doug is an avid researcher and his ability to self-reflect in his healing is one of the most inspiring parts of his story. As a child who didn’t receive the love and affection he deserved, he more than makes up for it now through his support of other survivors in the community as well as the self-proclaimed love he has learned to cultivate within and give to every part of himself. Doug’s abusers tried everything they could to make him silent and compliant and they made a mistake in underestimating his strength of spirit, relationship with God, and his unwavering ability to pick himself up and keep going. What tried to destroy Doug actually turned him into an absolute warrior and another strong male voice to add to the short list that keeps growing on this show of men speaking out! I’m thrilled to have Doug on the show today and hope you put away everything you’re doing and give him your full attention!
