Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 17 Season 4: If The Holidays Are DifficultDescription:In this episode, we explore why the holiday season can be uniquely challenging for many, particularly those coping with grief, strained family dynamics, loneliness, trauma, financial stress, or mental health struggles. For many, the holidays are a time of joy, family, and the celebration of the birth of our savior. For others, the holidays can be more complicated. We discuss practical strategies to protect your emotional well-being, such as setting boundaries, managing expectations, creating space for rest and joy, and finding meaningful ways to connect with others. We also discuss how you can help...2024-11-2531 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 16 Season 4: Embodying Authentic Joy After TraumaDescription:It can be easy to get caught up in what happened to us, in difficulties, and in the healing work so much, that forget why we're doing this healing work, to experience more joy! The following saying resonated with me and inspired this podcast: "You're not healing to be able to handle trauma. You're used to trauma. You're healing to be able to handle joy." Joy is one of the fruits of the spirit and a fruit of our healing labors. God wants us to not only experience joy, but to embody it. We...2024-11-1156 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 15 Season 4: Six Types of Self-Care and How They Can Help Your RecoveryDescription:Many of us heard growing up that self-care was "selfish" or "ungodly." However, no one can give from an empty well, and even Jesus escaped the crowds for rest, solitude, and time with God. We all need forms of self-care to heal and restore our bodies, minds, and souls. Healing from trauma requires a holistic approach to self-care, addressing all aspects of our well-being. There are six categories of self-care: physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and practical. Each of these can be approached from a Christian perspective, especially for trauma survivors, to promote healing...2024-10-2836 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 14 Season 4: Types of Narcissists and How to Spot ThemDescription: While it's easy to go down a rabbit hole on the concept of narcissism, it's good to be empowered and educated and protect yourself from narcissistic behaviors in certain others. Please keep in mind that having a certain level of narcissistic traits can be healthy in a balance. However, narcissism exists on a spectrum with some people having higher narcissistic traits, and even some who have full blown NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is in the DSM). We will go over the common categories of narcissists both in clinical and common spaces. We'll discuss h...2024-10-1451 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 13 Season 4: What Is the Connection Between Mirror Neurons and Childhood Trauma?Episode DescriptionMirror Neurons are one of the main parts of our brain that helps us with learning, cognition, empathy, and relationships. Mirror neurons are what help us respond to and learn from our caretakers as children and learn behavior through imitation, and they are involved in the development of our inner child. Understanding how mirror neurons impact these functions, as well as our childhood development and interactions with others, can help us understand what went wrong if we experienced traumatic events or abuse. Understanding what went wrong, we can also learn strategies to use...2024-09-3047 min

When we say narcissistic family, this doesn't mean everyone is in the family has high narcissistic traits, but it means that one or more people does, either children, parents, or both, and this deeply impacts all family members. We discuss the roles children play in this family dynamic. Then we discuss narcissistic family dynamics in general an...2024-09-091h 15
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 11 Season 4: How to Heal Trauma Without Blaming YourselfEpisode DescriptionEven if we know it intellectually not to be true, trauma, abuse, and neglect survivors internalize blame when they are mistreated, particularly those who suffer from childhood abuses and narcissistic abuses. Knowing the difference between blame and self-validation, finding the balance between knowing what happened to you and taking ownership of healing, and finding the line between self-compassion and victim mindsets can make all the difference in your healing journey. It's important to know that two things can be true at once:Abuse is never your fault AND you can take ownership of...2024-08-2641 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 10 Season 4: Twenty-One Ways to Protect Yourself as an HSPDescription: An HSP, or Highly Sensitive Person, is a person who has been proven by science to respond to the world differently. You may be more sensitive to light, sound, stimuli, people, and the emotions of others. Being an HSP comes with a unique set of gifts and challenges. While you are more attuned to the beauty around you, you may also be more aware of the dangers. In this talk, we cover how HSP's are wired, the science behind HSPs, how you can protect yourself as an HSP, and how you can care for y...2024-08-121h 03
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 9 Season 4: Why The Pursuit of Peace and Acceptance is EverythingEpisode DescriptionWhy The Pursuit of Peace and Acceptance Is Everything discusses the nature pursuing of peace and acceptance, what it looks like through a beloved character, Winnie the Pooh, and how we can practice this simplicity and acceptance on our healing journey like Pooh, to help overcome trauma with more flow, ease, and simplicity. Overcoming trauma isn't easy, and sometimes life can be difficult, but we don't have to struggle against it. This adds to suffering, whereas acceptance and nonresistance bring peace. Then we discuss the wisdom of Ecclesiastes and how pursuing peace, acceptance...2024-07-2252 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 8 Season 4: Therapies and Practices to Release Trauma From the BodyEpisode DescriptionIf you have experienced trauma, these experiences get stored in your body's memory, literally on a physical or somatic level. This unreleased trauma manifests in our emotions, behaviors, and health since it hasn't been resolved or released, and we pay a price. However, there is hope. We are not stuck with trauma. God has given us modern techniques to help us release trauma from the body. In Therapies and Practices to Release Trauma from the Body, we discuss how trauma gets trapped in the body based and it's impact on the brain, neural network, a...2024-07-0848 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 7 Season 4: Coming out of the F.O.G.Episode DescriptionIn Coming out of the F.O.G., we discuss the acronym, Fear, Obligation, and Guilt, which creates the acronym F.O.G. Much like the word "fog," emotional manipulators will often use fear, obligation, and guilt to confuse and control people, particularly those who are sensitive, compassionate, empathetic, and may be prone to codependency. This can make sensitive Christians especially vulnerable, since they tend have a strong level of conscientiousness. Manipulators like to use tactics that will make others question themselves and their motives, often using gaslighting to keep the other person off...2024-06-241h 04
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 6 Season 4: Healing Unworthiness: Just a Reminder That You Matter and You Are LovedEpisode DescriptionThis week, this episode reminds you of your worth, both in Christ and your intrinsic worth. Your value comes from both the fact that you are in Christ and that you are you. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are worthy, that we have unconditional value at our core, and that nothing that has happened to us or that we feel changes that. We may have been programmed with trauma, but our worth and core identity is still the same. Just as God and His love for us don't change, neither...2024-06-0326 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 5 Season 4: Subtle Types and Forms of Abuse and What to Do About ThemEpisode DescriptionIn Subtle Types and Forms of Abuse and What to Do About Them, we discuss the hidden nature of certain types and forms of abuse and why these forms of abuse often go unnoticed, why the survivor doesn't always believe it is abuse, and how certain people use these forms sow doubt and confusion in the survivor as a form of control and manipulation. The unique nature of this kind of abuse is often unnoticed or not believed by outsiders. However, by learning to identify and understand these forms of abuse, we are...2024-05-201h 04
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 4 Season 4: Trauma ReenactmentsEpisode DescriptionIn Trauma Reenactments, we discuss what trauma reenactments are, why they happen, and practices to help us identify, stop, and prevent them from happening again. Trauma reenactments are patterns we repeat again and again similar to traumas in the past. They can be pervasive and difficult to notice, because we may believe they are "just the way things are." But they're not. While these patterns are not our fault, if we are able to identify these reenactments, be honest about what they are and where they come from, and create more space between...2024-04-2946 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 3 Season 4: The Power of Shame and What to Do About ItEpisode DescriptionShame is probably the most powerful and deeply rooted core wound we can have, and it's often a result of abuse, neglect, and trauma. In The Power of Shame and What to Do About It, we discuss what shame is, its origins, and the insidious nature of shame, including how it comes from the enemy. This episode discusses the deep power of shame, what it does to us, and how pervasive it can be on an unconscious level, including the difference between guilt and shame. Guilt states "I made a mistake," and shame...2024-04-1546 min

Staying on the Healing Path starts the new season by sharing with you tips to help you stay on the healing journey. We often think of the healing journey as linear, but it tends to have ebbs, flows, and cycles, even though we move forward overall if we stay on the path. This episode discusses the nature of the healing journey, how the natural progression of healing is three steps forward and two steps back, and how we can approach the healing path with the right mindset.

Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 17 Season 3: Don't Make Trauma Your Whole IdentityEpisode DescriptionDon't Make Trauma Your Whole Identity, discusses how trauma survivors have their entire brains rewired when they experience trauma. As a result, when we become aware of what has happened to us and start our healing journey, it can be challenging not to make trauma our entire identity. It's easy to get into a loop of overidentifying with trauma and what has happened to us, to the point we can get stuck. This isn't our fault, but we can do something about it. By separating our core identity with what happened to us...2023-11-2755 min

Last episode, we discussed cognitive distortions and how they contribute to the trauma cycle. Similarly, learned helplessness is "a condition in which a person has a sense of powerlessness, arising from a traumatic event or persistent failure to succeed.

Many people have not only not received compassion, love, and understanding, but they've been blamed for their trauma. We're often taught not to have compassion for ourselves, and not following the fruits of the spirit of gentleness, meekness, lowliness, and kindness to others is rampant even in the Christian community...2023-06-2635 min
Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional RecoveryEpisode 7 Season 3: The Power of Gratitude in Emotional RecoveryDescription:A lot of trauma survivors have been told that they "should just be grateful," as if they can flip a switch, turn off trauma in the body, and suddenly feel grateful.

We do this by being gentle with ourselves, practicing self-compassion, and acknowledging honestly where we're at. This episode discusses the benefits of gratitude, how it can...2023-06-0540 min
