#244 -Jeniffer Ginty -Why Healing From Trauma Is Harder Than You Think
Description
In this deeply moving episode of Mental Matters, host Asekho Toto sits down with Jeniffer Ginty, a pharmacist and trauma survivor, to unpack the realities of childhood trauma, PTSD, depression, and the long road to healing.
Jeniffer courageously shares her lived experience with abuse, navigating an invalidating court system, and the challenges of single motherhood while carrying the weight of complex PTSD. She explains how advocacy, therapy, and creativity—through tools like her Moody Monster—have helped her cope and connect with children who struggle to express their emotions.
The conversation explores:
Why trauma is not just what happens to us, but what happens inside of us.
The invisible struggles survivors face in systems meant to protect them.
The difficulty of parenting while healing from unprocessed trauma.
How self-compassion, resilience, and creative tools can open pathways to recovery.
Practical coping skills from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
This episode is a raw, vulnerable, and empowering look at survival, resilience, and the importance of creating safe spaces for healing.
