Awaken 2 Purpose | Healing | Grief & The Forgiveness Trap

What happens when the people who were supposed to protect you tell you to forgive and forget? In this raw, faith-rooted conversation, host Larissa sits down with survivor advocate Regina Dyton and co-host Candy to unpack what nobody tells you about healing after childhood sexual abuse, the grief you never knew had a name, the forgiveness you were forced to perform, and the shame that silence left behind.This episode covers: grief after trauma, unprocessed grief in the body, faith as escape vs. real relationship with God, the breaking point that starts the healing journey, the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and why forgiving yourself has to come first.Anchored in Revelation 12:11 - We overcome by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony.Awaken to Purpose Podcast | Speak 2 HealFor survivors.
