#HowtoHeal #HealingFromTrauma #ChildhoodTrauma #ChoosingYourself
Healing from trauma is possible when you finally choose yourself. Ebony Jones-Thomas shares her sexual assault survivor story and how one transformative year changed everything—leading to love, boundaries, and purpose.
My guest in this episode is Ebony Jones-Thomas, courageously sharing her journey of overcoming childhood trauma, foster care, grief, and identity after adoption, and multiple assaults. At age 24, she made a decision that transformed her life: taking one full year for people-pleasing recovery
and healing from trauma. Our conversation explores PTSD recovery and
resilience, how to heal through forgiveness and self-forgiveness, setting
boundaries with family and in-laws, faith-based healing, and why choosing yourself equips you for every future challenge.
This is Ebony's first time sharing publicly.
