"Do you want to get well?" The question Jesus asked a paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda seems almost ridiculous on the surface. Why wouldn't someone paralyzed for 38 years want healing? Yet this profound question cuts straight to the heart of our complicated relationship with wellness.
Sometimes the most difficult part of healing isn't the pain itself—it's surrendering the identity we've built around being broken. For the man at Bethesda, wellness would mean leaving behind the security of being cared for, the familiar routine of his days by the pool, and stepping into an unknown future with new responsibilities. His immediate response wasn't "yes" but a list of excuses about why healing hadn't happened yet.
In this deeply personal episode, Amy Watson vulnerably shares her own journey of paralysis—not physical, but emotional. For decades, trauma, abuse, and neglect had become her identity, her comfortable narrative, her "badge of honor." When asked the same question Jesus posed at Bethesda, "Do you want to get well?", Amy found herself resistant. Wellness would require stepping into the light after years in darkness, confronting painful truths, and most challengingly, living a life worthy of her healing.
The question "Do you want to get well?" isn't just for those with physical ailments or trauma histories. It's for anyone trapped in bitterness, resentment, harmful patterns, or spiritual stagnation. Getting well means getting up and walking forward—taking responsibility for our healing and using it to glorify the God who made us whole.
What area of your life has been paralyzed, not by circumstance, but by choice? What would it look like if you truly allowed Jesus to heal you and picked up your mat? As Amy reminds us, Jesus doesn't write bad stories—He just asks us to put down our pens and trust Him as the author of our healing journey.

Five years and 125 episodes later, what began as a trembling voice in a closet recording booth has blossomed into a sacred journey of healing, faith, and community. Wednesdays with Watson was born not from expertise but from raw necessity—a desperate search for understanding my own PTSD during the early, uncertain days of the 2020 pandemic.
Lying in a hammock when the world suddenly stopped, I confronted a truth that had followed me since childhood: trauma wasn't just a chapter in my story; it was the paper my story was written on. Abuse, abandonment, and neglect had whispered lies that I was too broken to be loved, too damaged to be useful. But something miraculous happened when I dared to speak these truths aloud—I began to heal, and others began to listen.
This anniversary episode unpacks how sharing my journey through childhood trauma and domestic violence created space for others to feel less alone. The podcast transformed from a personal healing project into a ministry, ultimately setting me on a path toward completing a doctorate in trauma and community care. What started as a way to make sense of my own symptoms became a lifeline for a community of trauma survivors seeking hope in their darkest moments.
The most profound lesson from these five years is simple yet revolutionary: faith doesn't erase pain—it gives it purpose. Every time you tune in, share an episode, or send a message about how this podcast has touched your life, you affirm that God doesn't waste pain. To every survivor who has ever felt defined by their trauma, to every person questioning if healing is possible, to every listener new and old: You are seen. You are known. You are heard. You are loved. You are valued. And I'm honored to continue walking this journey together.You ARE:

https://booking.appointy.com/VictoryTraumaTrauma leaves invisible marks that often surface in adulthood as anxiety, relationship struggles, and even physical symptoms. For Child Abuse Awareness Month this April, we're diving deep into the complex ways childhood trauma shapes our adult lives by answering the ten most common questions listeners have submitted about their trauma responses.
What exactly constitutes childhood trauma? Many people wonder if their experiences "count" when they didn't endure extreme abuse. The truth is that trauma isn't just about major events—it's anything that pushed you beyond your capacity to cope. Those persistent feelings of anxiety, disconnection, trust issues, or boundary struggles might be your nervous system's way of protecting you from past wounds.
Boundary setting emerges as one of the most challenging areas for trauma survivors who learned early that keeping peace was safer than speaking up. Setting boundaries isn't selfish—it's essential. The healing journey requires practicing small boundaries and remembering that "no" is a complete sentence. Similarly, emotional numbness and pushing people away despite craving connection reflect survival mechanisms rather than character flaws.
Perhaps most surprising to many is how trauma manifests physically. When your nervous system remains stuck in fight-or-flight mode, it can lead to chronic pain, autoimmune issues, and various physical ailments. Healing requires regulating your nervous system through mindfulness, movement, and somatic practices that help release trapped trauma from your body.
For those struggling with self-worth or wondering if complete healing is possible, there's hope. While some scars may remain, they needn't define your identity or limit your capacity for joy, connection, and purpose. Your trauma is not your identity—your strength and resilience are. As we explore these questions together, remember that every step toward understanding is a step toward healing.

Book A Consultation
Five years after launching this podcast as a "pandemic pivot" from my hammock, I'm marking this milestone by returning to the fundamentals of trauma and PTSD. This episode kicks off a comprehensive series that will guide you through understanding trauma's profound impact on mind, body, and behavior as we build toward PTSD Awareness Month in June.
Trauma isn't simply about what happens to us—it's about what happens inside us when events overwhelm our natural capacity or "window of tolerance." I explain why comparing trauma experiences misses the point entirely and how traumatic responses actually represent your body functioning exactly as designed when pushed beyond its limits. You'll discover why physical symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and sleep disturbances often accompany emotional and behavioral changes, and why "the body keeps the score" is more than just a catchphrase.
The episode demystifies Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, exploring why many experts (myself included) now prefer dropping the "disorder" label. I share insights from my journey from trauma survivor to trauma specialist, drawing connections between unhealed trauma and autoimmune conditions that developed through decades of avoidance.
I answer poignant listener questions about preventing intergenerational trauma transmission and navigating complex trauma healing when traditional therapies feel overwhelming. The episode culminates with an exciting announcement about Victory Trauma Consulting, my new venture offering personalized trauma support services with sliding-scale pricing.
Whether you're struggling with your own trauma history, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking education, this episode provides the foundational understanding necessary for healing. The only way through trauma is through it—and this series aims to light that path forward with clarity, compassion, and hope.You ARE:

Listeners will find relatable insights as I navigate the complexities of self-worth, resilience, and the essential role of a supportive community during times of profound crisis. The podcast emphasizes that healing is not merely a destination, but a journey laden with challenges and victories. Through engaging storytelling, I aim to encourage others to embrace their narratives, to realize that they are seen, known, and loved, no matter where they are in their journey.

What happens when the very foundations of your safety are shaken, and healing seems out of reach? Join me as I share a deeply personal journey, marking the near fifth anniversary of the Wednesdays with Watson podcast. Born from the solitude of the pandemic and my struggle with PTSD, this episode takes you through the significant moments that shaped my path toward healing. From a life-altering stay in a psychiatric hospital to moving in with a friend who transformed my approach to counseling, we explore the profound role of faith, community, and a trauma-informed support system in navigating life's darkest periods.
In a candid discussion, I recount the decision to entrust my journey to Dr. Pettit, a Christian counselor who became a beacon of hope and safety. Despite my initial skepticism about having a male counselor, his approach turned a meeting room into a sanctuary for healing. Through recounting sessions filled with breakthroughs and challenges, this episode underscores how a worldview larger than oneself can be pivotal in recovery. You'll hear about heartwarming and sometimes humorous anecdotes, like my notorious sense of direction, even on the simplest drives from Clearwater to St. Pete.
As we recount the trials of facing threatening emails during hospital stays and the solace found in unexpected friendships, this episode is a testament to the transformative power of support and connection. The narrative reinforces a powerful message: no matter how bleak circumstances may appear, hope is unwavering, and every story is still being written. As the podcast approaches its fifth year, we celebrate not just survival, but the discovery of purpose and worth in the face of adversity."Safe in Your Arms" by Josh Baldwin, used by permission MusicBed.com

Imagine a generation shaped by hardship and resilience, yet taught to hide their emotions behind a stoic facade. What happens when those silent struggles are passed down through the family tree? Join us on a thoughtful journey as we explore the legacy of the silent generation, born between 1928 and 1945, and the profound impact of their unaddressed traumas on subsequent generations. From the stark realities of the Great Depression to the seismic shifts of World War II, we paint a vivid picture of the societal forces that demanded stoicism and emotional suppression, setting the stage for a cycle of unresolved trauma. Our conversation emphasizes the silent generation's influence on baby boomers, highlighting the challenging balance between the values of discipline and the longing for emotional warmth.
As we unravel generational parenting patterns, we reflect on how these silent struggles often led to rebellion or conformity among baby boomers, occasionally manifesting in destructive behaviors like substance abuse. Our guest, Mama Gowan, brings invaluable insights into how millennials are courageously challenging these inherited norms to cultivate healthier emotional expressions. With anticipation, we prepare for Mama Gallen's upcoming session, where her firsthand accounts of wartime resilience will offer further clarity. We affirm our shared commitment to addressing and healing generational trauma, offering hope and encouragement to those willing to confront these challenges in search of peace and a renewed understanding of their intrinsic worth.

FacebookAs Hurricane Milton approaches Florida Amy Watson is faithfully trusting in the Lord and His will while preparing to hunker down until the storm passes.
Even during this time she always has you, her listeners in her heart and mind and recognizes that during these uncertain times we all need a little extra hope and comfort.
Join Amy as we combine two Wednesdays With Watson episodes that put the focus on the Lord during times of trouble.
The first is from Season 5 Summer in Psalms. The episode is called Exploring God's Faithfulness in Times of Trouble. Click HERE to listen to the full episode.
We have also included an episode from Season 3, Spaces, Places, and Aces. The episode is called Protecting Your Peace In A World That Is Not Peaceful. Click HERE to listen to this episode.
Navigating the stormy seas of life can leave us feeling adrift and uncertain, especially after the devastation brought by hurricanes Helene and Milton to the Southeast and Florida. Our episode invites you to explore how faith and the comforting words of the Psalms, alongside David Crowder's heartfelt music, can act as anchors during such tumultuous times. We reflect on the vital reminder that even when our spirits feel crushed, there is solace in knowing that God stands close to those who are hurting.
As the world grapples with civil unrest and its ripple effects on our mental well-being, particularly for those with PTSD or empathy overload, maintaining personal peace can seem like an insurmountable task. Drawing on insights from John Eldredge's "Take Your Life Back," we discuss practical strategies to reclaim serenity in the midst of global chaos. By reducing screen time and practicing benevolent attachment, we can learn to release burdens that aren't ours to carry. Faith and prayer emerge as powerful tools, helping us find strength and comfort in reclaiming our peace, an essential step for living a balanced life in turbulent times.

As I stood on the cusp of turning 50, I found myself reflecting on the rich tapestry of experiences, triumphs, and struggles that have shaped my life. Join me as I recount the monumental celebration of my 50th birthday, aptly named my "Super Jubilee."

Embrace with me the power of intentional celebrations and the importance of valuing oneself at every milestone.

We also discuss the silent battles that many face, the necessity of open dialogue, and the critical role of supportive friendships in the healing process. Our shared stories highlight the invaluable lessons of patience, love, and grace, even in moments of intense conflict and vulnerability.
As we prepare for new content and formats this September, we invite both new listeners and long-time followers to revisit these impactful episodes. This journey through our podcast’s first season stands as a testament to God's faithfulness and the transformative power of friendship and faith. Whether you're seeking understanding, hope, or simply a relatable story, this episode offers a heartfelt exploration of trauma, healing, and the enduring relevance of being seen, heard, and valued. Join us in this reflective pause, and prepare to be moved by stories that remind us all of our intrinsic worth and the incredible power of community.
