S4E3 Trauma and the Mind: Shattering Beauty

Welcome to Season 4 of Being Known Podcast where we are looking at trauma through the lens of hope and not fear.

 

This week we begin our exploration of how trauma affects us at the beginning—for it is with our minds that we perceive that trauma has occurred in the first place and what its nature is.  Pepper and Curt review what the mind is and how trauma affects it.

 

Listen in as we catch the first glimpses of the effects of trauma and what we need to pay attention to as we seek its healing. We’ll see together how, if beauty is what God has intended for all of creation—ourselves included—to become, trauma is one way evil will attempt to devour that beauty before it is realized. But keep in mind that despite the ways that trauma can shatter our mind, God never runs out of options.
