Key Takeaways:
Sin and Trauma are Connected: Sins can stem from unresolved trauma and negative beliefs about oneself. Caroline and Lucy stress the importance of having compassion for yourself when addressing your sin. This understanding rather than condemnation can help you recognize that we often react out of pain.
Seeking Help: There is much value in seeking professional help, such as counseling or spiritual direction, especially when dealing with deeper issues related to trauma and sin. Caroline and Lucy also encourage reaching out to a friend or a mentor so you do not need to struggle alone.
