Facing Trauma Head-On: Marilyn Murray's Path to Healing
I'm a firm believer that it wasn't god's plan that my abuse happened, but that he was able to take that and make something really good come out of it. Those are the types of things that we talk about here on the show Today.
Trauma can be a silent shadow, but what if the key to overcoming it lies in openness? In this episode of 'I Love Being Sober', Tim Westbrook sits down with Marilyn Murray, a trailblazer in trauma therapy. Marilyn's journey is nothing short of remarkable. She survived sexual assault at a young age and went on to develop the Murray Method and the Trauma Egg, tools that have helped countless individuals confront and heal from their past.
Marilyn doesn't just talk the talk; she has walked the walk, providing therapy to sex offenders and training therapists worldwide, from Russia to Tajikistan. This episode dives deep into the importance of confronting trauma openly rather than burying it. Marilyn shares her insights on codependency, caretaking, and how these patterns often emerge from unresolved trauma. Her stories are not just about survival but about transforming pain into wholeness.
Whether you're grappling with your own trauma or supporting someone who is, Marilyn's wisdom offers a beacon of hope and practical strategies for healing.
