Brittany Tinsley, author of "Stories Our Scars Tell," shares her 20-year journey through self-injury, healing, and finding purpose in her pain. This raw conversation explores how scars—both literal and metaphorical—can become powerful storytellers of hope and redemption.
• Brittany explains how her struggle with self-injury began at age 15 and continued into adulthood
• The crucial role of hope in sustaining her through dark periods: "Eventually this is going to be okay"
• Why shame thrives in secrecy and how vulnerability begins to break its power
• The profound impact of her professor's acceptance when he saw her wounds: "This doesn't change how I see you"
• The concept of "invisible effort"—the unseen battles we fight that no one acknowledges
• How fierce independence can both help and hinder healing
• The transformative role of therapy in sustained recovery
