And so a healing point will be acknowledging the truth. Okay, this happened and I'm no longer going to do self-destructive behaviors. I am going to find a way to walk through this.

I think that can feel overwhelming.

For the person who's been a victim of sexual abuse

and significant trauma, for the person that has been

through the unspeakable abuse to think about how do I really face this.

And trauma ignored creates more trauma later.

Yeah.

It's always worth walking through it.

Well, that's Dr. Gregory Jans

and he's our guest again today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly.

Thanks for joining us. I'm really looking forward to day two of our discussion with Dr. Jants.

Day one was great if you missed it, get the app or go to the website and listen to it that way.

But there was so much good content setting up today.

And last time we talked about what is trauma, the difficulties of trauma, what trauma does to our brain,

what kind of chemical response our body is giving, all wrapped in a spiritual understanding of God's design.

And today we're going to talk about the things that people can do to

overcome their trauma. Yeah and Dr Jance is a popular speaker and author he's the

founder of the Center of Place of Hope in Edmonds, Washington. And today

we're going to be talking about his book, Triumph Over Trauma, Find Healing and

Holness from past pain.

That's an excellent resource and we have copies of that here.

Give us a call or stop by the show notes for all the details.
