From the outside, the perfect affluent family. On the inside, four generations of alcoholism, a grandfather who was a prominent community figure—and a predator—and a little girl who screamed but no one heard.
Jennifer Chase survived childhood sexual abuse in a family system built on protecting reputation over protecting children. Her grandmother knew. Her mother knew. The community elevated him. But speaking up would mean challenging a well-known, respected figure—so a child's safety became the sacrifice.
Jennifer watched three generations of her family numb their pain with alcohol. She swore she'd never touch it. But the first time she took a painkiller, she knew instantly—she'd been addicted for years. The escape it provided revealed what she'd been running from all along.
Painkillers became her family's alcohol. A different substance, the same desperate attempt to numb the unbearable.
But numbing isn't healing. The real transformation began when Jennifer stopped masking the pain and started releasing the trauma her body had been holding for decades. This is what energy healing does: it identifies the source of your pain—not just the symptoms.
This episode is for survivors, advocates, and anyone who's been numbing instead of healing—no matter what your escape of choice has been.
