147. Trauma, Healing and Transformation with Author Lindsay Gibson

In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin interviews Lindsay Gibson, author of the memoir 'Just Be: How My Stillborn Son Taught Me to Surrender.' Lindsay was a normal, happy teenager, but at the tender age of sixteen, she found herself terrorized by the hands of a rapist…with a mission to end her life and whose brutal force robbed her innocence. For thirteen years she was left with numbing pain and silence…until one cold November morning, sitting in her doctor’s office - her life changed forever. She was six months pregnant with her second baby, a son and the fetal monitor was silent…a silence that matched her own. This episode is a powerful first hand account of the aftermath of trauma, how the medical and mental health system respond and what ultimately lead to her recovery and transformation. Lindsay shares her intuitive abilities as a child and how they played a role in her survival. They also touch on the challenges of finding understanding and compassionate mental health professionals and the stigma surrounding intense emotions. Warning: Details of sexual assault are discussed.
