The Trauma That Made Me

By Lissa Johnson

When no one believed Alicia, she had to teach herself how to survive. Yet how do you survive when you are only three and your predator is your father? What happens when you find yourself in a situation where you have to either fight or take flight, but you can’t do either? That’s exactly what happened to Alicia when her father preyed on her. She did not realize that the trauma she had gone through as a child would follow her like a shadow into adulthood. Once Alicia had a daughter of her own, she started experiencing extreme emotions, feelings, and some of the most horrific visions that she could not explain or understand.

Years later, Alicia would find out most of her life was a lie. After a long and emotional journey, Alicia would figure out the truth of her troubled past once and for all. The only problem was, she wasn’t getting the answers she was expecting. As she dug deeper into her dreadful and unhinged past, more troubling things would emerge.
