In 'Glimmer', Kimberly Shannon Murphy shares her remarkable journey as a Hollywood stuntwoman for celebrities like Cameron Diaz and Charlize Theron, while navigating the pain of her childhood sexual abuse. The book chronicles her path to recovery and offers hope and inspiration to others who have suffered similar traumas.
Bruce Perry's "A Boy Raised as a Dog" uses case studies to illustrate the profound impact of early childhood trauma on brain development and behavior. The book highlights the importance of understanding the neurobiological effects of trauma and the need for trauma-informed care. Perry emphasizes the resilience of the human brain and the potential for healing through appropriate interventions. He challenges traditional approaches to understanding and treating trauma, advocating for a more holistic and compassionate approach. The book is a powerful testament to the importance of early intervention and the potential for recovery from even the most severe forms of trauma.
Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Bruce Perry explore how traumatic experiences in early life shape behavior and identity. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing past traumas to clear a path for future healing and resilience. Winfrey shares stories from her own past, while Dr. Perry provides scientific and emotional insights, highlighting the need to ask 'What happened to you?' rather than 'What’s wrong with you?' to foster a deeper understanding of human behavior and promote healing[1][3][5].
Kimberly Shannon Murphy is Hollywood’s premier stuntwoman, author of the memoir “Glimmer,” and a powerful advocate for trauma survivors.
We explore how her high-risk stunt work, including her iconic performance in Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” video, intersects with an unconventional healing journey. From childhood trauma to Hollywood success, we discuss her use of psychedelic therapy, breaking generational cycles and parenting challenges, and redefining what it means to “do the work.”
Kimberly is an inspiration. And this conversation is both intense and illuminating. Enjoy!
