   Ep 5- How Christians Handle Trauma

    Trauma: The Indiscriminate Crisis

    Intro Hi friends! Welcome to Abiding Love Podcast-A ministry for mental health and trauma,where I believe that just because you've survived, doesn't mean you're healed. Thank you for joining me today! In each episode we’ll dive deeper and explore how and where true healing is found! I’m your host, Brandy Pursley.

If you are feeling suicidal and need help, please call: Suicide Hotline (800)273-8255 988 (mobile) Now, last week we touched on a little bit about trauma and the damage it causes in its aftermath. This week, we’ll expand on that. How do we define trauma? Well, Webster defines it as “ a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.” Trauma can have long lasting effects on us as humans. Whether we admit to it or not, we have all experienced or will experience a traumatic event at some point in our life. Whether it be a death in the family, loss of relationship, illness, etc. we all face some level of trauma. Here on earth, trauma is an indiscriminate crisis we face on the daily. It pays no mind to gender, age, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. It comes in like a thief in the night to rob us of our safety, security, privacy, mental, physical and spiritual health. Trauma can come in different levels of severity. The trauma I want to mostly focus on are the severe cases because that is where our mental health is usually at risk. Abuse of any kind, witnessing or being involved in a traumatic event such as 9/11 or school shootings are all examples of severe cases of trauma. All of which I hope and pray my listeners have not experienced all at once in their lifetime. If so, my heart and prayers go out to you! I’m truly sorry and pray that you keep hanging in there and listening to get the encouragement you need to begin your healing journey! ****Trigger Warning: this episode discusses severe trauma, mental health issues, child abuse, homicide/suicide.**** Trauma leaves collateral damage. Especially when it is a major life- altering event. The more traumatic the experience, the more likely our mental health will suffer and decline. It’s a heartbreaking reality to know that about 50% of our population has undiagnosed mental illness or disorders which means that they’re not getting the help they need. Why? Because many still view mental health issues as a stigma. No matter if they suffered from trauma or not. The idea of “mental health” began in the early 20th century, however, it was mostly coined as mental illness because they didn’t really understand the separation of different disorders that caused mental health issues back then. Mental health awareness became more popular in the 1990’s and so much of the stigma surrounding it declined. Not totally disappeared, mind you. The world as we knew it then versus what it is now is why trauma-informed mental healthcare has become more...

    Why Abiding Love?

    My goal here at Abiding Love is to offer hope and encouragement through the holistic lens of the biblical world view as a mental health coach. Trauma comes in many forms and it does not discriminate. Because we live in a fallen world, trauma has become an inevitable crisis in our lives. My hope is that through the work of God’s love and grace, I can empower and help you advocate for yourself in YOUR unique healing journey. I am excited for this journey we are about to take together! Through scripture, testimonies, and special guest appearances I hope to create an organic and candid connective atmosphere where you feel safe to share and receive the hope and encouragement th at comes from the love of God!
