My thoughts on trauma and faith communities 6. 4 key ways to heal from CPTSDKey Quotes:
We're not only spiritual beings, our bodies are affected by trauma. Our thought life is affected by trauma. Our emotions are affected by trauma. And, so, we need spiritual solutions and we also need psychological solutions. We need physiological solutions. We need emotional solutions. We need a whole toolkit of solutions.
