14 Years of Abuse and Her Path to Healing - Pamela Lockridge
Manage episode 489879702 series 3551166
Welcome to Resilience in the Shadows, the podcast by TentMakers, where we illuminate the powerful journey of individuals overcoming the darkness.
In this episode, survivor-advocate Pamela Elaine Lockridge joins us to share her remarkable passage from abused child to ICU nurse, social-work researcher, and co-founder of Jesus Lifted Ministries. Drawing on her book Abused from 4 to 18 and the therapy framework she created—Grief Stages Plus (GSP)—Pamela exposes the long-term toll of hidden trauma and models a roadmap to lasting wholeness.
Pamela traces:
- Fourteen years of silence under an abusive step-father—and the moment she chose to break it.
- The leap from strip-club wages to a 20-year career in critical-care nursing, proving trauma need not define destiny.
- How earning a master’s in social work led her to expand Kübler-Ross’s grief model into an 8-stage healing path (denial to closure).
- Why multidisciplinary support—clinicians, law enforcement, legal counsel, faith community—is essential for survivor empowerment.
- Her mission to equip women entrepreneurs through Women Survivors in Business and to serve evangelists nationwide via Jesus Lifted Ministries.
Pamela’s fearless testimony invites every listener to confront the hidden wounds of abuse and walk toward light, purpose, and mental freedom.
