54:26

In this episode, Deborah shares her harrowing yet inspiring journey through a childhood marred by her mother's alcoholism and her own battles with agoraphobia. Despite early panic attacks and familial turmoil, Deborah found solace in literature and films, equipping herself with a unique education. As an adult, she navigated through tumultuous relationships marked by abuse and caretaking tendencies, eventually finding strength in her Christian roots and therapeutic practices. Her story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of confronting one’s own history with courage and hope.
