Ep. 36: "Walking through Trauma" with Ryan Kuja

Spiritual director, therapist, and writer Ryan Kuja sits down with Sarah to tell the story about being abducted in Zimbabwe and the resulting trauma he experienced. Ryan shares about how that unexpected event fractured pieces of who he was, the ways trauma manifested itself in his body and his life, and how he found healing ways to move forward in therapy and in contemplative Christianity. Now a trauma-informed therapist himself, Ryan also shares some important insights about what trauma is, how we can recognize it, and ways we can extend compassion to others.For full episode notes and ways to connect with both Sarah and Ryan, visit NotMyStoryPod.com.To sign up for Sarah’s monthly(ish) newsletter The Shelf, CLICK HERE.
