S25 Ep25: WCN Presents: [Danny Cords] An Upstander Unto Yourself

5/29/202643 min

*Content warning: divorce, conversion therapy, reorientation therapy, cyberstalking, stalking, emotional and psychological abuse, death threats, and criminal threats.

Danny Cords is an organizational psychologist and victim advocate from Seattle. He began harnessing his voice and speaking out for others after leaving conversion therapy in his late teens. But his advocacy mission only intensified after being subjected to years of cyberstalking. He hopes to bring awareness and healing to victims all over the world, as well as legal change too. His related (and unrelated) work and efforts have been featured on the stage, television, radio, podcasts, and more. We are extremely grateful that Danny was willing to share all that came next in his personal, professional, legal, and media journeys.
