Are there things you’ve noticed about yourself that’s always bugged you? Maybe you have quick-tempered overreactions with the people you love most, hyper-criticality with yourself, or difficulty focusing & concentrating on work or studies. If you’re like us, you may have thought over time that it was a part of your personality & nature you couldn’t change. But, what if a part of it was actually a residual trauma effect that God wanted to heal to help you change?
Join the conversation with us as we discuss how trauma affects our whole selves & ways we relate to others. We vulnerably share how God teaches us to receive deeper healing when we let Him & others into it (even if we don’t know what “it” is). We talk about how emotions were our first language before we learned words &sometimes God wants to do heart healing in you that impacts your soul beyond words.

Listen/watch this month’s Whole & To The Full as Chrissy & Emma Rose continue to share as they learn what it looks like to grow in #EmotionalHealth & trauma reaction awareness with God. They share examples & practical ways to lean into healing, unlearn old ways of reacting & relearn new ways of loving & letting God in. God wants to heal our deepest relational pains in relationship with Him & others. They discuss the concepts of #TraumaEffects and #Healing through being #vulnerable with #God and others. They integrate what they’re learning from Chrissy’s Masters of Divinity Program & Emma Rose’s Clinical Psychology PhD Program at #FullerTheologicalSeminary.
