You can learn more about this conference here: <a target="_blank" href="https://ourflourishing.org/">https://ourflourishing.org/</a>.Building on the conference’s plenary sessions and workshops, this closing panel asks how practices of repair can become more than isolated moments or helpful tools. Together, the panelists reflect on how repair can become a long-term pattern of spiritual formation—taking root in families, churches, ministries, and communities over time. The conversation explores self-awareness, intergenerational trauma, emotional regulation, psychiatric care, small-group practices, church leadership, gender roles, the role of fathers and mothers in congregational life, and the need for Asian American Christian communities to create spaces where pain can be named with honesty and held with care.</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Unresolved Ruptures: Find Healing When Repair is Not Possible | Eunhyey Lok
<p>This workshop by Eunhyey Lok, LMFT, titled “Unresolved Ruptures: Find Healing When Repair is Not Possible,” was recorded on April 11, 2026. The presentation was part of the 2026 conference “Our Flourishing, Our Faith: Navigating Rupture and Repair in Asian American Christian Communities,” presented by the Center for Asian American Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary and the Rosemead School of Psychology at Biola University. You can learn more about this conference here: <a target="_blank" href="https://ourflourishing.org/">https://ourflourishing.org/</a>. </p><p>What do we do when the ruptures we face have no easy resolution? At both the individual and collective levels, many Asian Americans suffer from deep relational wounds that cannot be repaired because the other party is gone or because interactions with them harm us. When that happens, we are left with emotional hurricanes that disrupt our sense of normalcy and safety, as well as our ability to connect to God, ourselves and those with whom we desire to continue relationship.</p><p>In our time together, we will seek healing by applying frameworks that help us make meaning of what we are experiencing, learning to be present to our emotions in God’s presence, and exploring practices that facilitate healing in the absence of the other party. This workshop will involve optional opportunities for group participation with guidelines for creating safety as we share and listen to one another. Bringing a journal or writing surface is recommended. </p><p>Eunhyey Lok is a licensed marriage and family therapist, ordained pastor and spiritual director. She has been privileged to work in both therapy and spiritual direction with couples and individuals, particularly leaders in Christian ministry as well as cross-cultural and international NGO workers for 15 years. She provides a space to heal, recover and breathe for those experiencing burnout as they care for others.</p><p>Eunhyey received her MS MFT from Fuller Seminary. Formerly, she served as Director of Outreach and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at the now closed Asian American Christian Counseling Service. Before that, she worked as the Mobilization Director for Reah International and worked closely with field workers based in North Korea and NE China.</p><p>You can learn more about her work in therapy at eunhyeylok.com and about giving spiritual direction at direction.eunhyeylok.com.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI">00:00</a> Workshop Introduction<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=88s">01:28</a> Framing Unresolved Ruptures<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=175s">02:55</a> Word Cloud Check In<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=227s">03:47</a> Trauma Context and Care Gaps<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=443s">07:23</a> Body First Healing<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=498s">08:18</a> Nervous System Basics<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=746s">12:26</a> Personal Rupture Stories<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=957s">15:57</a> Three Movement Practice<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=1152s">19:12</a> Guided SIIFT Exercise<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=1631s">27:11</a> Sharing and Holding Space<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=1734s">28:54</a> Wrestling With the Why<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=2084s">34:44</a> When Repair Is Not Wise<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=2251s">37:31</a> Holy Week Addendum<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlX7e0d5GI&t=2348s">39:08</a> Closing Blessing</p><p>Photo by <a target="_blank" href="https://unsplash.com/@priscilladupreez?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Priscilla Du Preez 🇨🇦</a> on <a target="_blank" href="https://unsplash.com/photos/two-people-holding-hands-on-table-in-comfort-aPa843frIzI?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplash</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
