Episode 41: Victims of Abuse Are Not "Too Emotional"
from The Speaking Out on Sex Abuse Podcast · host Jimmy and Clara Hinton
Victims of abuse are often told they're too emotional, too reactive, too bitter, too unforgiving, or have too little faith. But what if they are responding to trauma exactly how we were designed to respond? Many abuse survivors cannot physically walk into a church building because of their past trauma. In this episode, Jimmy and Clara unpack the reasons why, describe why churches are often terrible hospitals for the injured, and how we can better respond.
