Real stories, told by real people.

We are back with another one, I hope this finds you in good spirits. Everything is good on my end, just getting over a little cold. But nothing some rest, vitamins, good tea, and hearty home cooked meals couldn't take care of. My lovely wife played a big part in nursing me back to health haha. So let's get on with the show, shall we. Today Patricia joins us, and she has a story to tell.

It was bold and courageous of Patricia to share some very traumatic and difficult details in her life with us. She's here to bring hope and support to those in need - the abused, ignored, and broken. We Were a Nice Normal Family: A Memoir of Recovery from C-PTSD and the Trauma of Narcissistic Abuse is available, packed with psychological insights, and practical resources to help others in their healing journey.

Some of the topics touched on today :

• Complex trauma and how it can affect relationships
• Sexual abuse
• Rebuilding a life after trauma
• Self compassion, and it's never too late to start embracing adventure
• Life as a forensic psychologist
• Earning two Master’s degrees and starting a doctoral program in Clinical Psychology in her 50's
• and more

I'm pleased to introduce another GIANTS AMONGST US. Hope you enjoy the conversation. And to reach out or share some of your own thoughts you can find us on any of the links below.

'Til next time

and very soon,

PEACE!
