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.
