Healing is possible, no matter how long the silence has lasted.
In this deeply personal and emotionally layered episode of Stories, Soul Work & Substack, John Rinaldo sits down with psychologist, author, and trauma survivor Patricia A. Grenell to discuss her memoir We Were a Nice Normal Family — a story that moves beyond appearances and into the hidden realities of childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, survival, and recovery.
What begins as a conversation about writing and Substack slowly unfolds into something much deeper: an honest examination of how trauma shapes identity, relationships, and the lifelong process of understanding ourselves.
Patricia shares the painful truth that for many survivors, abuse does not always look obvious from the outside. Families can appear functional, respectable, and “normal,” while carrying generations of silence and hidden suffering underneath. Her memoir explores the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse, emotional neglect, misogyny, and the psychological weight of living in environments where harmful behavior was ignored, minimized, or normalized.
