In this episode, I am joined by a dear friend and gifted therapist, Sara Brown. As she has matured and grown in her understanding of God's unconditional love for her, she has been able to process a traumatic childhood with a mother who struggled with mental illness. Sara has done the challenging work of separating the ways she was loved and provided for while at the same time naming the ways she was not safe. We talk about how seeking out trustworthy witnesses to our pain can help us get unstuck from our trauma in specific seasons of our childhood, and even adulthood.

In this episode you'll learn:

• How Sara navigated having one foot in reality and one in her mother's
• The ways in which Sara and her siblings had to grow up so quickly
• How painful it was for Sara and her siblings to keep their mother's illness a secret
• Why it was so difficult for Sara to learn how to communicate her needs
• Why we can't disconnect from our trauma unless we process it
