At the core, this podcast is rooted in storytelling. Typically, we would walk through the story of a guest and encounter the Lord and His redemptive work through the lens of that particular story. But on this episode, we change that up a bit. Today, I want to invite you to intentionally step into your own story armed with the knowledge you obtain as you listen to this episode. Let me explain what I mean…   Our guest today is Laura Williams. Laura is the co-owner of Be Found Counseling in Brentwood, TN just south of Nashville and the host of the Encountering You Podcast which tackles touch issues in mental health and how they relate to your faith journey. Laura specializes in trauma therapy and an incredibly powerful concept called re-parenting. You might be thinking - I really don’t have trauma in my life - I’ve not had anything major happen to me. Right off the bat, Laura dives into what trauma really is and I assure you, what she says will resonate with you.   A friend of mine says, “God Fathers best by taking us back through our story. You can not write a new story until you deal with the one you’ve been given”. So, the hope today is that we are able to encourage each of you step into your own story from a high level perspective and start or maybe continue the process of story work.   Our prayer is that as you listen today you would feel seen in ways you haven’t before or maybe receive clarification on a space within your emotions or thoughts that has been confusing or possibly even alerted to places in your life that need to be attended to currently. The tools and information Laura shares on this episode are truly life-changing. Definitely grab a pen and paper for this one and enjoy understanding more about how God has perfectly created you and discover the pathway back to the true essence of who He created you to be.   For more information on Laura, visit https://www.befoundcounseling.com/
