Resilience is a word we hear often.

But what does real survival actually look like when life collapses?

On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ sits down with Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison, a trauma psychologist with more than 25 years of experience helping people rebuild after profound psychological, emotional, and spiritual challenges.

Dr. Harrison has taught and trained at institutions including UCLA, Georgetown University, and Pepperdine University, but her work extends far beyond the classroom. Her approach focuses on the deeply human side of trauma recovery — how individuals reclaim identity, dignity, and purpose after systems and circumstances push them to the edge.

Her newest book, co-written with Seana Smith, tells the lived journey of an intersex woman navigating homelessness, schizophrenia, and the complex systems meant to provide care but often create further harm.

In this powerful conversation, we explore:

• What trauma really does to identity and self-worth

• The difference between surviving and truly healing

• Why systems designed to help often fail the most vulnerable

• The psychological path from crisis to transformation

• Faith, resilience, and rebuilding the human spirit

• What leaders and entrepreneurs can learn from trauma recovery

This episode is a deep and necessary conversation about human dignity, healing, and the courage it takes to rebuild life after devastation.
