027 Paula Jauch on Overcoming Lifetime Trauma

Paula Jauch is a trauma expert. She is also a speaker, award-winning author and podcaster, but what she cares most about in this world is helping others overcome trauma and abuse—just as she has. Paula grew up in Las Vegas with an alcoholic and abusive father and an addicted mother. She watched her dad hold her mom at gunpoint as he forced her to cook food for his girlfriends. To numb the constant pain, Paul disassociated from life and got mixed up in gang life, drugs and alcohol, and by the age of 15, found herself pregnant and deep into her life of trauma. Paula was also illiterate most of her childhood because she couldn’t concentrate in school—another consequence of disassociating due to trauma.

It wasn’t until a complete stranger introduced her to Jesus that Paula began to slowly begin to believe she was worth more. At her breaking point when she almost ended her life, Paula instead felt the presence of God—and her life has never been the same.

Today, Paula serves the hurting through the words she shares. Author of Cross Addicted: Breaking Free from Family Trauma and Addiction, Paul offers a hopeful path to recovery for those who are hurting and traumatized.
