Description:
For the believer - trauma recovery is a mind-renewal process that involves being sanctified by God's Word and His Truth just as much as it involves learning/re-learning life skills, stress management skills and stabilizing your nervous system! In this episode I am diving into the spiritual component of the trauma recovery journey by looking at:
My hope is that this episode stirs your faith to walk in Victory as a child of God - knowing first that you belong to the Lord as you recover from the pain of trauma.

PRAYERS FOR YOUR TRAUMA HEALING JOURNEY -PART 1
One prayer I often pray is: “Father - make the crooked places straight in my heart”
I get this prayer from the metaphor often found in Scripture of “preparing the way of the Lord”
In the Old Covenant before Jesus came, Prophets would proclaim His coming and they would declare that One was coming who would make things right with humanity. Who would “level the playing field” against sin, corruption and evil.
One who would heal and restore and repair. One who would light the way both in the world and in our hearts.
I love this metaphor because it is so profoundly true in the context of trauma.
Sin & Trauma creates so much confusion, dysregulation and disruption in our hearts and minds.
As a result, we can see things from distorted lenses.
What is safe seems unsafe & what is unsafe can seem safe.
We can be reactive or easily shut-down as a result of our nervous system’s sensitivity.
...
Everyone say it with me: Co-Regulation leads to self-regulation!
This is a key concept for understanding trauma healing at the nervous system level because it teaches us how we can access neuroplasticity with support from other people who have regulated nervous systems.

I had something to prove!
I didn’t want to be like my mom who was pure chaos walking and left nothing but destruction in her wake.
She was so uncontained and so wild and completely lacking any modicum of self-awareness.
As a kid I really just wanted to be normal.
I knew that I knew that I KNEW that I was not going to end up like my mom if I had anything to do with it.
So I constructed the image in my head of the successful put together woman I would one day become.
No longer an outsider.
No longer so different.
And I became that woman. And I’m so grateful for so many pieces of that.
And yet?
There was a part of me hidden - even from myself.
A part of me that was not fully alive.
And by part of me I mean the TRUE REAL me.
I hid behind being an expert on the nervous system - knowing the science and being so good at it. I hid behind my intellect. I wanted to be taken seriously. Seen as the consummate professional.
But yet? There was that other part of me that I had labelled...
There was a time when I didn’t have my right mind - my sanity. As a teen you could have diagnosed me with reactive attachment disorder and severe depression and ADHD among other things.
I grew up in a very dysfunctional home. My mom suffers with paranoid schizophrenia and manic depression.
Her childhood was awful - she talks about being suicidal at 11.
She didn’t make her way to healing.
And when she had me, she struggled. And as a result she severely abused and neglected me. She also decided to homeschool me until I was 11.
Growing up in that situation took its toll on my developing brain and body. On the outside I adapted well as I was very smart and quite gifted as a kid. I learned how to perform in school and in church. I kept my home life a secret.
People who knew my mom knew something wasn’t right - but I felt a pressure to protect my parents and so I put on a happy face. As I got older I continued to perform well despite the inner turmoil.
But the body is not...
.What about receiving?
…being carried, guided and supported by the flow, by God who is life itself.
To receive, you open your hands
Open your heart…
Versus?
Versus chasing after everything from your mind and your tight shoulders.
You don’t receive from working hard in your brain.
Braced up for impact all the while. Desiring more in your heart of hearts and at the same time thinking hard about how to get it.
Receiving is the deep down breath into the tummy and down into the ground.
Receiving is the letting go through the body and the full experience of surrender…
My journey with receiving has been quite the roller coaster.
Because letting go wasn’t something that came naturally to me…
My biology was wired for holding so tight and tighter and tighter and tighter until it hurt like hell and then holding on some more. Abuse and neglect will do that to a person.
First with relationships - then with money.
I chased after my parents love.
I twisted and...
