Terra Newell: The Aftermath of Ending A Life In Self-Defense

How do you move past taking the life of another human being, even when it is in self-defense? How do you cope with Survivor Shaming? What does moving past guilt & shame look like in the public eye? In last week's episode (Moving Past Murder - Episode #31), an interview with survivor Terra Newell, many of my audience members were left with a few unanswered questions after hearing Terra's story. Specifically, how Terra was able to move past ending the life of John Meehan, AKA “Dirty John." How do you deal with the public's scrutiny, moving past your guilt and shame, and the almighty "Survivor Shaming" from a self-righteous public audience? I recently met Terra in person this past weekend, and she was more than to share more of her journey toward healing and recovery. Episode highlights... •Coping with PTSD and the double trauma when someone tries to take your life and you take theirs in self-defense. •Dealing with "Survivor Shaming".
