We need more vulnerability, we need more healing, because you have to be vulnerable in order to heal.
When Janitta Nichols, a former police officer, decided to share her story, she wasn't just opening up about her past—she was breaking a long-standing silence. In this episode of 'Journey On,' host D.J. Burr sits down with Janitta to discuss her harrowing journey through what she calls 'the family secrecy program.' Janitta's story is not just about survival; it's about the courage to confront a staggering 300 instances of sexual abuse by family members.
Her memoir, 'The Secrets of My Mother,' serves as a powerful testament to her resilience and determination to speak out against the unspeakable. D.J. and Janitta delve into the complexities of guilt and shame that often accompany such experiences, and how sharing one's story can be a pivotal step towards healing. They also touch on the role of media and education in breaking the cycle of abuse and providing support for survivors.
This episode is a compelling reminder that while the journey to recovery is fraught with challenges, it is also filled with hope and the possibility of healing. Tune in to hear Janitta's inspiring story and learn about the importance of community support in overcoming trauma.
