Healing Begins When Shame Loses Its Voice

As your host, I believe some of the bravest moments in life happen when we choose healing over hiding. In this deeply moving episode of Casting the Net: Reeling in Holistic Health, I sit down with retired counselor, educator, and author Linda Feig Knipe to discuss her powerful memoir, Braving Therapy.Linda courageously shares her journey through sexual assault, PTSD, depression, and the long road toward healing. Together, we explore why unresolved trauma doesn't simply disappear—it waits to be acknowledged. We discuss how shame keeps people silent, why therapy often feels harder before it feels better, and how true healing begins when we allow ourselves to be seen, heard, and supported.This conversation is a reminder that therapy isn't a sign of weakness—it's an act of extraordinary courage. If you've ever struggled with painful memories, hidden shame, anxiety, or wondered whether healing is possible, I hope this episode reminds you that freedom is available. You don't have to carry your pain alone.Healing begins the moment we stop surviving in silence and start telling the truth.Connect to Linda Feig Knipe:https://lfeigknipe.com/
