07/10/23 • 52 min
Description:
The most downloaded episode in the history of the podcast has been Season 2, Episode 12: Childhood Emotional Neglect: A Hidden Epidemic, so there's a need to understand CEN further. What's Childhood Emotional Neglect Got to Do With Abandonment Trauma? discusses the impact of childhood emotional neglect (CEN) on survivors by exploring the connection between CEN and fear of abandonment. Seeing this connection can be the difference between a life of confusion, gaslighting, and bondage, and power, freedom, and clarity. We discuss the nature of CEN and how it is not always intentional or malicious, but it's nature is insidious because it's hidden. It's the most likely form of abuse to be denied, invalidated, and doubted since it is abuse by omission instead of commission. CEN can make us doubt our own reality. We discuss ways to know whether or not you're living with the impacts of CEN, cut through the mind fog, and find clarity and truth on this issue. Even though it's painful at first, the truth sets us free. By learning how you can contact, validate, and understand your hidden experience, you can use this revelation to heal the impacts of CEN, know what happened to you was real, and build healthy relationships that move beyond abandonment trauma.

Episode 8 Season 3: Why You Need to Be Gentle With Yourself on This Journey
Episode Description:
Why You Need to Be Gentle With Yourself on This Journey is a talk God put on my heart after encountering so many trauma survivors who struggle with their faith because of harsh treatment from people within the Christian community regarding their struggles. Many people have not only not received compassion, love, and understanding, but they've been blamed for their trauma. We're often taught not to have compassion for ourselves, and not following the fruits of the spirit of gentleness, meekness, lowliness, and kindness to others is rampant even in the Christian community. There is oftentimes even narcissism and abuse within the church. This talk calls for us to be kinder and gentler with ourselves on the healing journey, as we are called to be with others, to give ourselves a little credit for our progress, and to learn to take a gentle approach when navigating the healing journey.

Episode 10 Season 3: Integrating Our Faith and Practice on the Healing Journey
Episode Description
Integrating Our Faith and Practice on the Healing Journey discusses the relationship between daily practices to heal trauma and our relationship with God. While these may not be completely separated, carving out a space for each separately, as much as we're able, is important. The episode also discusses how to use discernment in the healing practices you use and to follow what God is telling you to do and give other people the grace and space to do the same. Everyone's healing journey and relationship with God is unique. Through discernment, in the practices we choose to do, we have agency under God's authority. While we are called to be part of the flock and respect the church, remember it's okay to explore different churches, practices, and congregations, with your relationship with Christ and healing journey in mind. You have agency, autonomy, and choice on this healing journey. You are safe and loved, and God will guide you on the journey.
