Interpersonal trauma – trauma the occurs within a personal relationship – is a relational trauma.

Relational Impacts of Trauma we discuss:

Survivors may not have had good role models as children for what constitutes a healthy relationship and/or they may not have received any   instruction about them. To the contrary, they likely learned all about toxic relationships.

• Survivors had their self-worth stripped from them, so they don’t feel they deserve happy relationships. 

• Survivors struggle with establishing trust – with others and with themselves.

• Relational dysfunction and trauma often lead to co-dependence as an adult. 

• Survivors often adopt their afamily’s unhealthy world view, which colors their thoughts and belief about relationships. 

• Black and white thinking limits a survivor’s interpretations of relationships.

• Survivors had their self-worth stripped from them, so they don’t feel they deserve happy relationships.

• Survivors struggle with establishing trust – with others and with themselves. We think we must immediately give anyone all of our trust, or none of our trust – there’s no middle ground.

Today we continue the series in How Trauma Shows up: The Impacts it has. Last week we looked at the neurobiological and physical impacts and today we look at the Psychological.

Most of what we talk about is the mental health diagnosis that are rampant in our culture today.  Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, DID, Adhd, OCD but also talk a lot about one's overtly connected to trauma: PTSD and c-PTSD.

As much as we go over these diagnosis's we also talk about how we can support, manage and heal AND most importantly, how our diagnosis's are NOT our identity as Christian women who are daughters of a King. 

Trauma changes the way our bodies and brains function..this is one of the most powerful explanations of why we can’t “just get over it” and also offers HOPE that its not just because we are weak or bad.  

In this episode we talk about the neurobiological effects of trauma, the physical effects of trauma and the HOPE that lie's in reversing the damage trauma has caused! 

In this episode we talk about defining Trauma. Not as much as one concrete definition but common elements, key concepts and impacts. We talk about Big T trauma vs Little T trauma, and types of Trauma's.

We also dive into giving an overview of how Trauma is dealt with; talking Top Down Approaches, Bottom or Body UP approaches and Heaven all-around aka how does Jesus fit into these modalities and what are aspects that are specific to healing with Jesus as the coach.

Is the world of trauma healing too self-focused? 

Our 1st episode co-hosting together starts the convo that we will be continuously digging into: What does healing and recovery look like as a Christian Woman?
