In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, Maurice Harker tackles the difficult question many women ask themselves after trauma: Why can’t I just get back to normal? Through a powerful metaphor of being hit by a truck, Maurice explains the illogical expectations placed on those who experience emotional and psychological trauma, especially after discovering a partner’s betrayal.
