God is not caught off guard by the trauma and suffering of this world. He is working through all things - and there is hope!

As you wait for Jesus' return, you can lament the heartache you see around you while taking advantage of the ways God has provided to you to recover and heal from trauma.

If you've used EMDR, have you found it to be helpful? What would you say to someone who is considering it?

When you feel anxious, afraid, angry, or ashamed as a response to trauma - that's normal! You're wired to respond to abnormal events that way.

The reason you might need help to process the trauma is because it can have ongoing adverse effects on your mental, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

EMDR is one of the many therapeutic interventions that can help you heal after trauma and lead a happy, healthy life.

There are several therapeutic interventions that can play a role in your recovery from trauma, and perhaps one of the most proven, effective and powerful methods is EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. But what does that mean and how does it work?

As part of our "Surviving and Thriving After Trauma" series, Austin brings in special guest Dr. Mark Pfuetze, an EMDR trained therapist and Covenant Seminary professor, to explain how the body stores trauma and how EMDR can help you manage distressing memories, experiences, and thoughts that haunt you, shame you, or pull you from the present back into the past.

After listening to this insightful interview, you will understand more about:
- How trauma affects your brain and body
- How EMDR works to repair those effects
- What to look for in an EMDR therapist if you decide that’s for you

In order to flip the script on your childhood trauma, you need to feel the hurt of what has happened to you in a professional therapeutic setting, with someone who can contain the intense emotions that processing your past trauma brings.

It only takes one safe person to know your story for the intensity of the shame to start to lift and for you to feel empowered to heal those damaged parts of your soul.

By restoring your relationship with yourself first, you can reclaim emotional intimacy and connect to others who are working on themselves. You can learn to be present in the moment, to practice self-compassion, and to depend on Jesus as you move forward. It's never too late to flip the script!

Childhood abuse survivors might wonder, "How can l be functional if my family was dysfunctional? How can I be good if what I lived was so bad?" Shame will make you feel like you are unworthy, unloved, and worthless.

Flipping the script on your childhood trauma means naming and acknowledging the reality of what you have experienced - but also choosing to not let others decide who you are!

When you turn your life over to the Lord and live by his Word and his truth, you experience transformation. What trauma has fractured, Jesus wants to put back together. Your new identity is a Child of a King!

Leaving an abusive relationship is a process that may seem overwhelming, scary, and maybe even impossible. Help is available! Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit their website at thehotline.org to text or chat and find additional resources.

Leaving is just the beginning of the healing process. It's important to have support in place as you heal, and to acknowledge that you have been impacted physically, emotionally, and spiritually by the relationship. Be patient with yourself as you recover, and allow yourself the time and space to grieve.

There are times when God has said, "Not right now", and that has been sad and devastating. But because I've listened to him, God has given me the desires of my heart in his time and in the best way possible.

I've been studying and learning about the impacts of trauma since 2012, and I have been able to use what I've learned not only for myself and my kids but also to help other people stop repeating generational sins and dysfunctional family patterns that affect the next generation.

In this interview, Jules Lundberg mentions Job 12:22: He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings utter darkness into the light.

She states, "After I surrendered to him, God restored my life, little by little, by allowing me to weep over the years of pain I had endured."

She talks about a time when God put a specific person on her heart that she needed to talk to and gave her the desire to return to church.

She believes that following God means he will guide you to where you need to go!

Parents have hopes and dreams for their baby long before giving birth - maybe even before they get pregnant! Losing a baby steals those hopes for the future out from under you, and leaves you feeling empty and hopeless.

Grieving this enduring loss takes time. It's important to find safe people who understand just how devastating and 'real' your loss feels, even though you didn't have a chance to get to know your baby.

You can rely on God to hold you in his arms and comfort you as you grieve, and use your loss to turn your eyes toward the hope of heaven.

If you've grown up in a dysfunctional home, it may be difficult to recognize abusive behavior. As an adult, you subconsciously repeat patterns from your past because they feel 'comfortable'.

When you step back and look at the root causes of the dysfunction, as well as name the abusive behavior, you are empowering yourself to seek safety and healing.

Have you ever experienced a “complete and total loss” only to have it be flipped into a “complete and total life transformation”?

In this powerful episode of our “Surviving and Thriving After Trauma” series, Lynn Roush, LPC, interviews her colleague and friend, Jules Lundberg (trauma-informed PLPC & PhD student), who shares the compelling story of her journey as a trauma survivor and how she has worked hard to heal, thrive, and help others flip the script of their trauma.

Together, Lynn and Jules provide listeners with practical steps for rewriting the shameful narrative that emerges from childhood trauma and how to begin breaking generational patterns of sin and dysfunction. Jules' story of resilience includes severe childhood abuse, domestic violence, divorce, infant loss, fostering and adoption.

Lynn and Jules discuss:
- The challenges of naming dysfunction in your family
- The fear of being disconnected from love and belonging
- How to recognize and discern leaving an abusive relationship
- How healing happens through relationships with safe people
- Understanding dissociation as a common response to childhood trauma

It's tempting to focus on the brokenness of the world around us, and get discouraged when our best efforts don't seem to bear any fruit in our kids lives. But God's redemptive plan is always at work!

Before the whining and tantrums begin, look for moments to offer unconditional love and praise that are not contingent on behavior.

Tell your child, "I am here to love you!" Pay attention to their emotional cues and get curious about what they may need from you because sometimes they don't know how to communicate with words.

Many resources are available to parents today, but every child and every situation is different. Getting to know your child is the first step!

When you've seen one kid with trauma, you've seen one kid; don't overgeneralize anything about the next kid.

Making sure that there are intentional moments of love and safety helps when it's time to correct. Correction from a place of connection helps a child know that they are loved and safe.

When children do not have the exact words to describe their needs, they act out.

Figuring out the 'why' behind your child's behavior will determine your 'response' to the behavior.

Mutual trust with your child is created by moments of connection and building a relationship where they know they are safe and loved. This looks different for every child.

When a strong connection is present, then the child can respond to correction.

The impact of early trauma may not be seen right away – in fact, sometimes, it doesn’t show up until puberty.

If your child shows big behavioral changes in middle school or adolescence, they may be feeling the effects of early trauma.
