Ep. 11 Breaking Chains: Trauma and Abuse Recovery with the 12STR System

In this episode of Christ in Private Practice, host Camille McDaniel, LPC, sits down with Dr. Denice Colson. Dr. Colson shares her incredible journey in the mental health field, beginning in the 1980s, and explains how her work with trauma survivors inspired her to create the 12 Stage Trauma and Abuse Recovery System (12STR)—a Christian-integrated, evidence-based model for healing. Dr. Colson discusses the vital connection between trauma and faith, offering insights into how her approach blends evidenced based psychological recovery with biblical principles. This conversation dives deep into how the 12STR model moves beyond symptom management, addressing the root of trauma while centering Christ as the ultimate source of healing. ➡️ Want more resources from Dr. Colson? Check out our blog for additional insights and tools mentioned in the episode:  ⁠https://christinprivatepractice.com/ep-11-breaking-chains-trauma-and-abuse-recovery-with-the-12str-system Don't forget to RATE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE this episode with your fellow Christian counselors and entrepreneurs!
