What Do I Need To Know About Trauma?

Trauma is a bigger player in our lives than you might think.

It's the unacknowledged guest at every gathering of humans. And if we could learn to understand it better, we'd create a kinder, more compassionate world.

In today's episode we discuss trauma:

1. What is trauma?
2. What are Big T and little T traumas?
3. How does trauma impact your relationship to yourself, others and God?
4. The shaming messages that often sneak in as a result of trauma
5. What does the Bible say about trauma and healing?
6. How do you begin to heal?

Questions to consider:

• What if what happened wasn't your fault?
• What if you didn't deserve that treatment?
• What if there's not something wrong with you?
• What if you were created a beautiful soul made in God's image?
• Is there any sliver of you that could believe that?
• What if the heart of God is to heal?

Key takeaways:

What if God is a God of healing?
