The wound that won't close. The memory that won't fade. The pain that whispers "you should be over this by now."

If you've ever wondered why you still flinch at certain sounds, why your body remembers what your mind tries to forget, or why healing feels like climbing a mountain with broken legs—this episode is your gentle companion in the darkness.

Apostle Dr. Ivon Valerie opens the From Hurt to Whole series by speaking directly to the part of you that's tired of pretending everything is fine. He doesn't offer band-aid solutions or empty platitudes. Instead, he creates sacred space for your story; the messy, complicated, beautifully human story of someone who's been through hell and is still standing.

This isn't about "getting over it" or "moving on." This is about moving through, with God as your guide, grace as your companion, and hope as your destination.

For anyone who's ever felt broken beyond repair, your healing journey starts here.

Let’s talk real for a second—when was the last time you checked on your wounds? Not the ones on your skin but the ones in your heart, mind, and soul. The ones that don’t bleed but still control your life.

In this episode, Dr. Ivon Valerie shares why he has been away and why healing can’t wait. He has been working on something that has the power to change lives—The Trauma Detox. These aren’t just more self-help books. They’re a roadmap to healing. The Trauma Detox is a three-book journey designed to help you face your wounds, heal deeply, and finally step into the life you were meant to live.

➡️ Scarred helps you identify and understand your trauma.
➡️ Mended teaches you how to actually heal and rebuild.
➡️ Bloom shows you how to move from survival to thriving.

We all have trauma. Some come from childhood. Some come from heartbreak, loss, or even a single moment that changed everything. But here’s the truth—healing is possible. And if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.

PLUS—March 22nd is Dr. Valerie’s birthday AND the official release date for The Trauma Detox! 🎉 You can pre-order the eBooks NOW and grab the paperbacks on release day!

In this groundbreaking episode of From Principles to Practice, Apostle Dr. Ivon Valerie delivers a heartfelt challenge to the faith-based community. Titled “The Church Must Step Up as Community,” this episode explores why the church—especially in the Caribbean and Black communities—sometimes falls short in supporting its members, while secular groups often excel in creating tangible, life-changing connections.

With scripture from Acts 2, Galatians 6:2, and James 2:14-17, Dr. Valerie calls on the church to rise to the occasion, meet real needs, and be the safe, supportive space it’s meant to be. This episode is a rallying cry for believers to stop waiting for others to lead and start taking action to embody the love of Christ.
