THE POWER OF WORSHIP IN TRAUMA HEALING

Oxford Languages Defines worship as:
The feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
"the worship of God"

Interestingly, Dr Stephen Porges, founder of Polyvagal Theory has discussed the importance of cultivating a sense of “awe” as part of restoring the health of the nervous system.

As believers, the ultimate source of awe is God Himself. The Bible will often describe this as the “fear of the Lord”

When we worship God, there is a change in the spirit and the body.

In the presence of the Lord a natural surrender occurs in which we may weep, tremble, or move in ways that we do not normally do. Not just the spirit, but the physical body surrenders/yields to the Lord.

Worship is the expression of the awe of God.
When we worship, we are brought into the presence of the Lord.

Here we are in the presence of perfection and purity. We are in the presence of all that is good and true.

This presence is healing &...

To the ambitious, intelligent entrepreneurial woman who has met Jesus…
 

I know the feeling - being faced with the Truth and feeling like everything underneath you and within you is shaking and quaking 

To know within the depths of your being that Jesus is real and not just real - He is true and really the ONLY thing that is real. 

To question whether people in your life will leave you if you are bold in your faith and then testing the waters and finding that yes in fact they will leave you. 

The existential wrestling with the Truth of Scripture

The heartbreaking encounters with God that show you your need for Him - and that where you placed all your attention, focus and identity was the wrong place and now ALL you want is more of God. 

To recognize the places in your heart that were hard and brittle - hyper-independent and filled with foolish pride and self-sufficiency and weep as the Lord washes you and softens your heart 

To feel the healing...

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: 

• How God's Word Makes the Crooked Places Straight in Your Heart
• The Corruption of the Human Heart  (How man can never fully grasp the heart of man - we need God for that)
• Double-Mindedness and Personality Instability (How God's Word gives us security and stability)
• Seeking Healing from the World First Rather than seeking the Lord first

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.

Description 

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.

In this episode, I talk about

• What is nervous system regulation exactly? 
• How does co-regulation lead to self-regulation 
• The Role of Co-Regulation in Neurodevelopment from the womb onward 
• Bottom Up Brain Development (Dr Bruce Perry’s neurosequential development theory)
• Dysregulation, trauma and the healing impact of Co-Regulation
• The Fruit of the Spirit:How the Gospel makes us naturally more regulated and co-regulated
  
  

Scriptures mentioned in the episode: 

• Galatians 5:13-26 
• Matthew 19:13-15 
• 1 Corinthians 13
• 1 Thessalonians 2:6-8
