Summary

If the mind goes first, it necessarily will involve the brain. In this episode, we will explore how trauma affects the brain in particular—not least how it perceives our inner and outer worlds—and how being aware of this can give us clues to how our healing can begin. Join Pepper and Curt as we discover how the brain is for far more than thinking, and that paying attention to all the other things it does can usher us into the healing process in ways that we might not easily guess. Along the way, we will be reminded that even when the brain has had a tough go of it, God is always able to go one better.
