Geena Hymer
Geena Hymer is fiercely proud of being nineteen years released from the darkness of self-harm and suicidality and ten years into her binge eating disorder recovery. Her life’s purpose is helping others find their own path to healing, feeling seen, and having their experiences validated, which is driven by her strong relationship with her Heavenly Father. She’s the blessed dog mom to her adopted terrier mix, Bayla. Currently, Geena is working on her first memoir with Hope*Books and living with family under the beautiful and often cold blue skies of western Montana.
Chapter 20: The Moment of Impact
In this deeply moving chapter, Geena Hymer shares the moment her childhood innocence was forever altered after witnessing a traumatic family crisis that left her carrying fear, responsibility, and grief far beyond her years. Through raw reflection and courageous truth-telling, she explores how that single moment shaped her identity, relationships, sense of safety, and self-worth well into adulthood.
Geena’s story is one of profound healing — from breaking decades of silence through an honest conversation with her father to reclaiming her power by facing the very fear that once defined her life. Her chapter offers hope to anyone who has lived with unresolved trauma, parentified themselves for survival, or believed they were responsible for holding others together. It is a testament to the power of speaking truth, releasing misplaced responsibility, and choosing healing over fear.
