Phebe Naomi's Page: When Disappointments are All Around You, and Still You Stand
Manage episode 313812940 series 3209974
Our first guest this week tells such a powerful story of survival! She talks about trauma from a tender age, and generational trauma and pain and suffering and substance abuse, and maternal domestic abuse and parental separation, and sexual abuse by a family member, and absent parent and abuse by her own spouse! How many points are those on the ACEs scale?
She is a certified domestic violence counselor who is out on a mission to help others, but who first had to reconcile with all the hurt that was inflicted upon her as a child!
Find out what happened that made me call a hard STOP to the interview!
