From Silence to Strength: My 70-Year Journey to Healing
In this powerful episode of A Trauma Survivor Thriver’s Podcast, host Lorilee Binstock speaks with Babs Walters, author of Facing the Jaguar: A Memoir of Courage and Confrontation. Babs opens up about the long road to healing after surviving childhood sexual abuse by her father—a secret she carried for over 70 years.
Born to teenage parents who met in reform school, Babs grew up in a home marked by violence, infidelity, and emotional neglect. At age 11, she was sexually abused by her father and threatened into silence. When she attempted to speak out at 14 and again at 16, she was dismissed and not believed by trusted adults—including a rabbi and a counselor.
