Heal for Real 98 - Theology of Trauma - Back to the Beginning Sin & The Fall

attachment trauma attachment trauma healing bible christian nervous system healing christian trauma healing somatic healing Sep 09, 2023

Let's go back to the beginning, shall we?

In this episode, I share from the book of Genesis - The beginning of the Bible.

Since I have become a Christian, my worldview has been transformed by the power of God's word and His Holy Spirit. And this worldview change, includes how I approach the philosophical ideas and theories of trauma. What we believe about God and ourselves will impact how we approach the treatment of trauma and the experience of suffering and healing. I believe the Bible gives a coherent, powerful, and ultimately liberating reason for why we experience trauma and suffering in our world today.

Here's some of what I cover in this episode:
What is theology?
Why is theology important to trauma?
Sin and the fall
Why is there trauma in the world?
How I approach the science of somatics (body-based trauma healing)
Practical guidelines for Christians as you approach your trauma healing journey to stay grounded in God's Word and avoid being led...

He was just like my mom…

In my early twenties I had a dumpster fire of a relationship filled with chaos and codependency.

I was the savior and the good girl who was going to rescue my addict boyfriend and make him unbroken.

Have you ever been there?

Turns out it was me that was sick and twisted up from a childhood of abuse and stranger-than-fiction family dysfunction.

My mother - the paranoid schizophrenic, violent, manic depressive tyrant. And my father, ever loyal to my mother and unable to get himself or me out of the situation.

When I was spat out into the world, I was driven, ambitious, high-performing and talented. I was also extremely unaware of just how much my childhood had marked me.

I didn’t know I had brain damage from growing up in abuse and neglect.

I didn’t know I was in the chronic freeze and had been my entire life.
I was a MESS - but I had no sweet clue about that.

Entrepreneurial Stress - A Healthy & Holistic Way to Respond

There is a push and pull to growth. We feel pulled to grow so that we can become people who do the amazing things we dream of doing and feel the amazing things we dream of feeling. And yet, the process of growth is a valley of internal obstacles. One of the obstacles that can show up in the valley is trauma. Life calls us to move through the trauma that has kept us coping rather than living, so that we can have space inside to make our dreams a reality.

As entrepreneurs - the wild animals we are - we choose an alternative path. Those of us who feel called to bring our gifts to the world through entrepreneurship choose a path of complex problems that become more complex with each stage of growth. We choose a path that requires emotional intelligence and leadership - a relational IQ that can allow us to meet the needs of the market, lead our teams and maintain our relationships with other people in our...

Working at the Core

abuse acoa addicition healing adverse childhood experiences attachment trauma awareness childhood trauma healing coaching Jan 14, 2022

I'm about working with issues at the core.

Because it’s efficient and it works faster.

Deep Healing is physical and spiritual business. The pull to move back into old patterns is mental and emotional - but actually at the core it’s physical and spiritual.

Sometimes you’re fighting a spiritual battle but you think it’s in your mind.

In those moments it truly feels like otherworldly forces are holding you back from your destiny.

And you can’t claw your way out with your mindset tools because the issue is deeper.

This isn’t a scary thing. Because when you understand the core of the issue you are more equipped to solve it. You no longer are in agony looking for a needle in a haystack.

And you can reach out for help - ask for support from the Divine, from heavenly forces.

Strengthen your mind through tending to your spirit. It’s the shortcut.

Humanity is going through a big change in this moment.

While you may have felt...

Repairing Relational Trauma

abuse aces acoa addicition healing addiction addiction recovery allan schore attachment trauma awakening codependency Dec 13, 2021

At its core, repairing relational trauma as in complex and childhood trauma (including family dysfunction) requires intimacy. New experiences with intimacy and being seen in new and safe ways.

That’s messy business!

It FEELS messy and chaotic. It’s not something you can mindset your way into - or intellectualize or talk around.

Sure there’s some mindset involved - but the actual healing and renegotiation work is body stuff. Plain and simple.

The work I do with clients is about tapping into those intimacy and relational patterns at their core.

I work with super smart, ambitious, talented tender hearted people who have been able to figure ALOT of things out with their minds and mindset, and even some emotional work.

They’ve built lives they are proud of and thankful for and accomplish more than most - others wonder how they can do it all….

And yet?

They still have pockets of life that feel mysteriously challenging.

For example:

Life is Always Calling us Forward

Struggle. Talent. Art. Performance. Trauma.

Working with high performers who are talented, gifted and skillful - helping them on their healing journey - PLUS my own fascination with work and what it means for us as humans (hello Generator 5/2 Human Design) always has me thinking about these things.

The pain of life and its relationship to our work.

The age-old idea seems to be true that most of our gifts emerge initially from a place of pain or need. This is why I believe we adore superheroes - mostly mere mortals whose powers were born through tragedy or pain.

What I am particularly interested as a healing and alignment coach to excellent people who love to excel, contribute and succeed - people who feel CALLED to a certain work in the world - is how we can evolve our relationship to the work we do.

Acknowledging that much of the birth of talents and gifts happened in the dark places.

Because what I see happen over and over is that the gift saves us when it’s...

Are our Patterns really Mental?

abuse aces addicition healing addiction recovery adverse childhood experiences allowing anxiety attachment trauma Dec 13, 2021

Most of our patterns are not mental

This is especially true with patterns that are frustrating, confusing, chaotic, painful or difficult for you to change (ahem…

t r a u m a)

There are mental COMPONENTS to patterns.

And indeed it helps to conceptualize them sometimes or to change our thinking about the pattern itself.

For example - if you have a pattern which you believe cannot change, it will help to slowly shift your idea to the possibility that it might or could potentially change.

But for the most part, our patterns live inside us in ways that are initially beyond our conscious control until we can get into the body to initiate an opening.

That’s why when you become aware of something it doesn’t immediately change.

Because there are physiological & biological (physical) as well as spiritual components to the patterns we carry with us - both good and bad.

When you’re wanting to change a pattern there are a couple things to look at:
