THE WOUND OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMA: WHAT IS IT & IS THERE HOPE OF HEALING?
A three-year-old watched her sister die and did not understand what she had seen. Abuse, neglect, and medical crisis followed her into adulthood. Rhode Island families carry that same hidden weight, and “just get over it” has never been a plan.
On this episode of #InTheDugout with Mike Stenhouse, we sit down with Connie Jones, psychotherapist and author of Green Glitter Girl: A Journey of Hope and Trauma Recovery.
Connie Jones wrote the book because extreme stress rewires the nervous system and locks survivors into patterns they cannot name. Born to severely depressed parents, she lived the cycle she now treats. Recovery is not a slogan. It is the work of reclaiming safety, connection, voice, and self. Stephen Porges, creator of Polyvagal Theory, wrote the foreword because the story shows what the human nervous system can survive, and what it can still repair.
In this episode of #InTheDugout, Sten presses on the science behind stuck habits and the practical path out. Ocean State parents, clinicians, and anyone raised inside chaos will hear why self-sabotage is often a survival response, not a character flaw. Jones wants readers free from the beliefs that keep them overwhelmed. That lands in Rhode Island, where untreated trauma shows up in families, classrooms, and the caseloads local government never fully funds.
