You're listening to the Allender Center podcast with Dr. Dan Allender.

This week, Dan is joined again by Kathy Lorzell and yours truly Rachel Clinton to further

discuss our Healing the Wounded Heart online course. We particularly review the benefit of a closed Facebook group created for

tribe members. The ultimate goal in creating this community option was to ensure that participants

would not have to move through the course alone and would benefit from processing with others

along the way. This added option has truly brought increased engagement with the material, and we hope

very much that you can join us for our upcoming semester tribe. Well, I am joined again by my two

dear friends and colleagues, Kathy and Rachel, and we're going to talk a little bit more

about what it means to join our version of a collective, a cohort, a tribe to address some of the harm of past trauma, particularly sexual abuse.

And you two were so central in the work that we did in creating the first tribe. So I really would love for you

to talk about your experience, what you learn, some of the stories, and some of the things that

people can anticipate if they join us on this second run. Yeah, definitely. Well, first, let me just put a little language to,

for those of you who may not know, what Healing the Wounded Heart online course actually is.

It's a nine lesson online course that walks through different categories for explaining and

understanding the impact of trauma on the brain and the body and relationships,

looking at the role of evil, talking about some of the categories that play out in our lives,

like, dissociation and addiction and some of the particularity of like men's issues with abuse.

And what does true healing look like?

What are some of the categories for healing? It's a series of videos that

you watch and then some journal questions that you engage. It's in a platform called Teachable.

It's one of those things that like once you register for it, you have access to the platform

and really can move at your own pace. And so we have two different ways people can participate.
