About this listen

In this emotional yet sometimes funny and light-hearted episode, we sit down with Johnna, a survivor from Happiness Hill, a troubled teen home. Johnna shares her harrowing experience of growing up in an abusive household, dealing with undiagnosed ADHD, and the challenges she faced at Happiness Hill. From being misdiagnosed and unjustly labeled as a drug addict to enduring horrific abuse and strict religious oppression, Johnna’s story is a powerful testament to resilience. She discusses the psychological trauma, the rigid rules, and the forced labor that the girls at Happiness Hill endured. Now pursuing a career in psychiatric nursing, Johnna is dedicated to helping others by conducting an in-depth survey on the impacts of institutionalization on mental health. This episode is a deeply moving exploration of survival, accountability, and the journey toward healing. #trauma #sobriety #religion #tti #religioustrauma
