S4E3 Trauma and the Mind: Shattering Beauty

Welcome to Season 4 of Being Known Podcast where we are looking at trauma through the lens of hope and not fear.   This week we begin our exploration of how trauma affects us at the beginning—for it is with our minds that we perceive that trauma has occurred in the first place and what its nature is.  Pepper and Curt review what the mind is and how trauma affects it.   Listen in as we catch the first glimpses of the effects of trauma and what we need to pay attention to as we seek its healing. We’ll see together how, if beauty is what God has intended for all of creation—ourselves included—to become, trauma is one way evil will attempt to devour that beauty before it is realized. But keep in mind that despite the ways that trauma can shatter our mind, God never runs out of options.   Links and References: The Soul of Desire by Curt Thompson, MD The Soul of Shame by Curt Thompson, MD Anatomy of the Soul by Curt Thompson, MD The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Suffering and the Heart of God by Diane Langberg Healing Trauma by Peter Levine It Didn’t Start with You by Mark Wolynn Try Softer by Audi Kolber   You can now sign up to have access to Being Known Podcast applications (scroll to the bottom of the page to sign up), the weekly exercise that connects what you are learning to your life in a practical way.   As always, we invite you to stay connected with us via social media and YouTube: Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube (where we post the unedited videos of each episodes)   As always, we invite you to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode and welcome your reviews on Apple Podcasts.
