If you don’t take care of your trauma and don’t heal and work to overcome what may have happened to you in the past, you just leave a trail of destruction behind you. It could be with your children, your friends, or your partner. This week, episode 70 of The Jen Marples Show is about taking the time and having the courage to face your trauma.
Melora Hardin (The Office, Transparent) played Cindy Prescott on an NBC Saturday morning show for kids in 1977 called “Thunder.” Hunter Austin, who had been raped at seven by a stranger in a park bathroom, found her only solace and connection as a little girl through “Thunder” and wished Cindy/Melora would come through the TV screen and help her. Melora and Hunter serendipitously meet four decades later. With Melora’s guidance and friendship, Hunter finds her voice, her womanhood, and ultimately breaks free from the violent sexual trauma that kept her suffering in silence for so long. Hunter’s courage and willingness to be so raw and honest in front of the camera challenges Melora to be vulnerable as well, and they create a deep sisterhood that becomes the beacon of light that dissolves Hunter’s shame.
