In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Joanne Richardson shares her journey through childhood trauma, domestic abuse, betrayal, self-harm, Complex PTSD, and the relentless pursuit of professional success. More than a story of survival, Virtue of Honor: Acquiring Truth examines the systems, relationships, and false identities that allow shame and pain to maintain their power. At its center is Joanne’s deeply personal discovery that lasting freedom came through truth, faith, and a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Shatter and Scatter the Lies is a guided, trauma-informed workbook created for survivors of childhood trauma and complex PTSD who are ready to finally see-and break-the patterns that shaped their identity. Instead of offering quick-fix affirmations or surface-level journaling, this workbook takes you deeper into the beliefs you inherited, the roles you were trained to play, and the lies you carried because survival required it.
Parental estrangement creates a form of grief that is rarely acknowledged and frequently misunderstood. This compassionate and faith-centered book gives a voice to parents living with unanswered questions, empty chairs, lost relationships, and the shame often placed upon them by others. Rather than offering a formula for reconciliation, Joanne invites readers to reclaim their identity, confront their own lives honestly, release what they cannot control, and discover that peace is possible even when circumstances remain unchanged.
