Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽 When I began working with people to help them heal from difficult childhood experiences, I began having more and more conversations at work and with people in general about childhood trauma. We would talk about their struggles, hopes and wishes as it relates to healing from the effects of childhood trauma. One thing I began to see was a pattern of women not understanding, minimizing or even dismissing their traumatic experiences.

150 | Can You Control Your Life Better Than God?
Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽 The idea of being in control can be intoxicating, especially for trauma survivors. At some point, many of us have tried to do God's job in running our own lives.

But have you ever considered that your need for control might actually be exhausting you instead of protecting you? Could it be that God has something better for you if you loosen your grip?

When someone experiences situations that cause them fear, distress, or hopelessness, primarily as children in their close relationships, it affects their ability to identify and experience what is...
