Your Story Isn't Over: Healing Childhood Trauma with Ruth Clare | Pathfinders Podcast with Jessa
How do you deal with the aftermath of growing up in an abusive home? In this episode of Pathfinders, we get the opportunity to learn from Ruth Clare's experiences. Ruth grew up with a father who had undiagnosed PTSD as a result of his experiences in the military. She shares about the childhood trauma she went through, but also the ways she's found to heal and unpack that trauma. She shows how she has embraced her story and lives her own, authentic life.
Through discussing her memoir 'Enemy' and her upcoming book 'Turn Fear Into Courage,' Ruth provides practical insights and tools for overcoming trauma. This episode delves into significant themes such as emotional resilience, parts work, the complexities of familial relationships, and the journey toward self-discovery and healing.
