268. Resurrected Into Purpose, Part 1

Jamie Gadson shares her powerful journey from childhood sexual abuse at age three to finding healing through faith and therapy decades later. Her story reveals how early trauma created patterns of sexual addiction, low self-esteem, and harmful relationships that persisted until she confronted her past.

• Molested at age three by a 17-year-old female babysitter from her church
• Developed sexual addiction and compulsive behaviors as coping mechanisms
• Experienced shame and judgment from church leaders when pregnant as a young adult
• Survived being "fatally killed" by her ex-husband and resuscitated by her son
• Finally received therapy at age 36, connecting childhood trauma to adult behaviors
• Emphasizes the importance of addressing childhood trauma through professional help
• Highlights how religious communities sometimes fail abuse survivors
• Demonstrates that healing is possible even decades after trauma occurs

If you've experienced childhood trauma or are struggling with addiction, please know you're not alone. Seek professional help - it's never too late to begin your healing journey.
