Episode 4: What do I need to know about trauma?

Trauma is a bigger player in our lives than you might think. It's the unacknowledged guest at every gathering of humans.  And if we could learn to understand it better, we'd create a kinder, more compassionate world.    In today's episode we discuss trauma:      1. What is trauma?      2. What are Big T and little T traumas?      3. How does trauma impact your relationship to yourself, others and God?      4. The shaming messages that often sneak in as a result of trauma      5. What does the Bible say about trauma and healing?      6. How do you begin to heal?   Questions to consider:  What if what happened wasn’t your fault?  What if you didn’t deserve that treatment?  What if there’s not something wrong with you?  What if you were created a beautiful soul made in God's image?  Is there any sliver of you that could believe that?  What if the heart of God is to heal?   You can find a list of all the resources mentioned in this episode, including trauma-informed care, at www.dralisoncook.com/podcast Sign up to receive Dr. Cook’s weekly email and receive 2 free e-books and a guided prayer reflection at https://www.dralisoncook.com/books/boundaries-for-your-soul  Music by Andy Luiten  Sound editing by Kelly Kramarik Learn more about your ad choices.
