from Three Times A Victim – Living Under the Shadow of Toxic Shame · host Bruce Whealton
🌫️ “Even when comfort returned, shame lingered like a ghost.”After years of betrayal, false conviction, and silence, Bruce returns to Wilmington—not for justice, but for healing. In this tender chapter, we explore what it means to rebuild a life while still carrying the weight of a shattered past.🌀 In This Episode:✔️ Fleeting moments of reconnection and comfort✔️ Poetry as both sanctuary and reminder of lost voice✔️ The stigma of returning home with a criminal record✔️ Co-authoring, creative community, and cautious belonging✔️ Lingering shame in the face of small joys and quiet hope✔️ Longing—for truth to be heard, for love to be safe again💭 This episode is a meditation on survival—not through triumph, but through tenderness, truth-telling, and the hard work of resilience.—📘 Read the full memoir on Amazon:bit.ly/ThreeTimesAVictimMemoir🌐 Author’s Website:bit.ly/ThreeTimesAVictimBook🎧 YouTube Playlist:bit.ly/ThreeTimesPodcast—#ThreeTimesAVictim #ToxicShame #WrongfulConviction #TraumaRecovery #ResilienceStory #VoiceOfTheInnocent #PoetryHealing #YouAreNotAlone #NarrativeTherapy #EmotionalHealing #StigmaAndSurvival #CPTSD #MentalHealthAwareness
