Josephine Hallam is one of those good souls who tries to help others by sharing her story. She contacted me with the wish to give guidance to parents and therapists on how children process trauma. It is the first time she opens up about her pain. At the age of ten, she saw her father take his life, an event that according to her, defined who she was, from the profession she chose - Josephine is a criminal lawyer - to her outlook on life. One of the things she says in this interview is that no matter how much adults try to protect kids by hiding the truth, kids will fill in the gaps with their own narratives. For her, this came in many ways. On the day of her father’s suicide, she was the only one at home. When the police came, little Josephine immediately believed that she would be arrested, that she was at fault. “From that day on, I was ‘that kid’ associated with something bad… I was the one with him and I should have stopped it,” she told me. Josephine’s story is an example of resilience and goodness at heart. By sharing with us her painful experience, she rises above the trauma and the silence that suffocated her for over fifty years, and I feel honored that she chose to do it here, with you, on my podcast.
