Trauma, Truth, and the Path to Healing: Susan Snow on Navigating PTSD

Send us a text🎉 Birthday shoutout to my sister Heather and OT school BFF Ashley—thank you for cheering me on every step of the way!In this deeply moving episode of Adulting with Autism, I sit down with Susan Snow—author, coach, speaker, and daughter of slain LAPD Detective Thomas C. Williams. At just 17, Susan witnessed the aftermath of her father’s ambush, sparking a decades-long battle with PTSD, depression, and emotional isolation. But that’s only where her story begins.We talk raw truth: how trauma lives in the body, the failures of early therapy, and why being told you're "fine" doesn’t mean you're healed. Susan shares the powerful moment she found a trauma-informed therapist who finally saw her, and how journaling saved her sleep and sanity. Whether you’re navigating your own healing or supporting someone through theirs, this episode will speak to your soul.💬 Plus, Susan reveals why vulnerability is the ultimate power move—and how her book, The Other Side of the Gun, helps others reclaim their own resilience.🛍️ Support the show + grab Susan’s book→ 📘 The Other Side of the Gun on Amazon→ ☕ Fuel future episodes: Buy Me A Coffee💥 🎁 Discord Giveaway Alert!We're still celebrating our upcoming 1,000th member—join our Discord and you could win a $100 Visa gift card + exclusive podcast merch! 🎉👉 Discord📲 Follow us and share your story!Instagram: @adulting_autismFacebook: Adulting with AutismYouTube: @Adulting with Autism Podcast🔗 Connect with Susan SnowWebsite: SusanSnowSpeaks.comYouTube: @susansnowspeaks2023🎧 CTA:Press play for truth, tears, and tools to help you rewrite your own trauma story.
