But what I really needed to do to get to the other side was to listen to Andrea Braidback, my therapist, who said: you know you're gonna have to be your own hero in this.
Imagine being at the helm of a major transportation authority during one of the most devastating events in history. That was the reality for Virginia Buckingham, the first female CEO of Massachusetts Transportation Authority (Massport), on September 11th, 2001. In this compelling episode of 'SuperCharged Life with Dr. Judy', Dr. Judy Ho sits down with Ginny to uncover her harrowing yet inspiring journey through unimaginable trauma and public scapegoating.
Two of the four planes hijacked on 9/11 took off from Boston’s Logan International Airport, managed by Massport, making Ginny an unexpected focal point of blame and media scrutiny. Despite being wrongfully accused of security lapses, Ginny's life was turned upside down, leading to severe PTSD and a battle with suicidal thoughts. Yet, her story doesn't end in despair.
Ginny opens up about her path to recovery, sharing how she found solace in writing her memoir 'On My Call' and embracing self-care practices like therapy and acupuncture. This episode offers a raw and honest look at resilience, providing valuable lessons on coping with trauma and finding hope even in the darkest times.
