Summary
Over 17 million people in the United States experience the effects of PTSD. And many more of us will experience traumatic events in the future. Processing the traumatic event is essential for us to heal—body, mind, and soul. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, we discuss how to identify our own trauma and begin that journey so we can live securely without fear.
“We are not taught what to do with negative feelings, especially the deepest wounds. It can seem counterintuitive to recount trauma in vivid detail, but that is a powerful tool in releasing trauma.” – Monica Berg
