Episode 18: Toxic Relationships & Trauma Recovery (with guest Terra Newell)

Your Today Story with Gina Kershaw

**Trigger Warning**
-------
If you’ve listened to the award-winning podcast Dirty John or watched the show on Netflix, you probably recognize the name Terra Newell.
Side note: If you haven’t listened to the podcast or watched the show, do it before you read the rest of this post, because it contains spoilers!
As a refresher, Terra Newell is the heroine of this terrifying true story. When her mother’s ex-boyfriend, John Meehan, viciously attacked her in the parking garage of her apartment complex with a concealed knife, Terra fought for her life. She kicked her way free from his punches and stabs, and the knife fell to the ground. In that moment, Newell didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the knife and stabbed John in the face until he was incapacitated. He died in the hospital four days later.
On the podcast today, Terra shares her story and talks about the steps and tools a person can take if they find themselves in a toxic relationship and how to recover from past trauma.
