Facing Shame Head-On: Jennifer Storm's Journey to Healing

If we let shame control us, it will beat us up and beat us down. If we don't address it and extinguish it at its source, it can control us.
Shame is a heavy burden, especially during the holidays. In this episode of Recovery Road, host William Moyers sits down with Jennifer Storm, author of 'Awakening Blackout Girl: A Survivor's Guide for Healing from Addiction and Sexual Trauma'. Jennifer opens up about her personal journey through trauma and recovery, highlighting how shame has played a role in her life.
She shares candid moments, like losing her temper with her child, to illustrate how shame can sneak up on us and how we can address it without letting it take over. The conversation dives into the importance of making amends, the power of vulnerability, and the critical role of self-care in recovery. Jennifer's insights are both raw and relatable, offering practical tools for anyone struggling with shame in their own recovery journey.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that while mistakes are inevitable, they don't have to define us. Tune in for an honest discussion on overcoming shame and finding self-forgiveness.
