Uncovering Unseen Resilience: How K.J. Ramsey’s Memoir Reveals Joy Thriving Amidst Heartache
Ramsey is a trauma therapist and the author of two other books about recovering from spiritual abuse. She left the high-control religion of her youth and has spent much of her career assisting others in recovering from abuse in faith spaces. In The Place Between Our Pains, she discusses the sacrifices chronic illness has required of her. Losing her health meant losing her autonomy, as she relied on family members to assist her with mobility and basic, daily tasks like using the bathroom. Ramsey’s life became consumed with medical treatments, and she was forced into pausing her clinical practice. After so many years of giving care to others, she had to learn how to become the recipient of care.
