JULIA LIVE PART 2 Madeleine #McCann LIVE Interview JULIA
WANDELT’s LIFE STORY - with Dr Becky Spelman - Podcast 601
Statement from Dr. Rebecca Spelman about this interview:
I'm Dr. Rebecca Spelman. I'm a HCPC registered psychologist
in the UK. My reason for doing this interview with Julia is because I listened
to the phone call that Julia had with Operation Grange and was struck by how
genuine Julia sounds in her voice and how low empathy the police officer from
Operation Grange was towards her. It appears that Julia is being honest as far
as she believes her story to be true. I reached out to Julia to offer a space
which can be as safe as possible for her to tell her life story in a
chronological order. Rather than putting this interview on my own YouTube
Channel, I have asked Shaun to put this on his channel so that the story
reaches a wider audience. My intention for this interview is to facilitate
Julia in being able to tell her narrative in a really safe online space which I
feel I am capable of providing as a qualified and very experienced psychologist
who works with significant trauma. I will be encouraging Julia not to read the
YouTube comments as she tells her story so that she is protected as much as
possible from comments from the public so that she can focus on telling her
story.
The interview will involve me using my skills to facilitate
Julia in being able to tell her story and I will offer some perspective in
relation to my knowledge and experience treating trauma, trauma memories and
give some information to the audience about what I feel may be true in relation
to this story. I can also share with the audience how trauma memories work and
comment on the narrative that Julia is presenting. I believe because of my
trauma work experience I can provide a space that's really safe for Julia to
talk about some pretty horrific trauma that she's been through that she's never
been able to talk about in public before. I hope that by helping Julia share
her story further that more justice can be done in regards to her situation.
I feel that it is really unfair that the police officer who
called Julia from Operation Grange did not speak to her in a compassionate and
empathic way and regardless of whether she is Madeleine McCann or not, any
individual who is reporting themselves as a missing person, who has gaps in
their memory from childhood, who believes that they were not born into the
household that they grew up in should be dealt with in a compassionate way and
should not be threatened. I'm here to help Julia tell her story.
