Summary
When you’ve experienced something heartbreaking or even devastating, it’s easy to question if you’re on your way to healing.
Is it normal to feel this way? How do I stop hurting? Is this going to hurt forever? Maybe you’re even wondering: Is what I’m feeling a sign of trauma?
When this is happening, how can we move forward after we’ve experienced significant trauma?
With theological research and therapeutic insight, Lysa TerKeurst, Dr. Joel Muddamalle and licensed counselor Jim Cress will help you:
- Define what trauma is so you can better understand how it may be impacting your daily life in unexpected ways.
- Develop a strategy for recognizing and processing triggers so you aren't caught off guard when they come at you.
- Walk through a step-by-step process to free yourself from the hurt of your past and begin experiencing true healing today.
