On Halloween night in 1985, 17-year-old Susan Snow was preparing for an evening out when a phone call shattered her world. Her father, Thomas C. Williams, a Los Angeles police detective, had just been assassinated while picking up her 6-year-old brother from school. His final act of bravery saved his son’s life—but it cost him his own.
For 14 years, Susan lived in a constant state of fight, flight, or freeze, battling the invisible wounds of that night. It wasn’t until she was diagnosed with PTSD that she began to truly understand the depth of her trauma. She credits EMDR therapy and writing her book, The Other Side of the Gun: My Journey from Trauma to Resilience, with saving her life.
In this emotional and powerful episode, Susan opens up about:
🔹 The night that changed everything
🔹 How PTSD shaped her life without her realizing it
🔹 The tools that helped her reclaim her power
This is a story of loss, survival, and ultimately, resilience. If you’ve ever struggled with trauma or wondered if healing is possible, Susan’s journey will leave you feeling seen, understood, and inspired.
