In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, Christine Chappell interviews Dr. Curtis Solomon on the topic of post-traumatic stress. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are:

• What is PTS and how are its various symptom clusters defined?

• Why do people suffering from PTS sometimes withdrawal from relationships and/or isolate themselves from society?

• How does the gospel offer hope and help to those struggling with questions about guilt, shame, responsibility, and forgiveness in the wake of a traumatic event?

• What biblical narratives can we turn to in order to connect the Scriptures with the sufferer's experience?

• What does it mean to help sufferers move from "post-traumatic stress" to "post-traumatic sanctification?"

• How can we help sufferers approach and process their "Where was God when this happened?" questions?
