Silent Struggles: Valerie's Journey Through Trauma and Healing
Welcome back to Slice of Empathy, where in this episode, we transition from Patrick's childhood traumas to explore Valerie's equally compelling journey. Valerie, Patrick's wife and co-host, opens up about the emotional challenges she faced growing up in a household that lacked emotional warmth and support.
The episode sheds light on the silent struggles Valerie experienced, from the absence of a supportive family environment to the decision to leave home at 18 for her safety. Valerie discusses the pressures of growing up in a chaotic, abusive home and the long-term effects that shaped her adult life, her marriage, and her pursuit of emotional healing.
Join us as Valerie bravely shares her experiences with therapy, the realization of past trauma, and her path towards a healthier emotional state. This powerful dialogue also touches on the importance of establishing boundaries, understanding emotional needs, and learning to find strength in vulnerability.
