S4 Ep 16: Embodying Authentic Joy After Trauma
Description:
As we discuss trauma, healing trauma, and overcoming the impacts of abuse on the podcast, it can be easy to get caught up in what happened to us, in difficulties, and in the healing work so much, that forget why we're doing this healing work, to experience more joy! The following saying resonated with me and inspired this podcast: "You're not healing to be able to handle trauma. You're used to trauma. You're healing to be able to handle joy." Joy is one of the fruits of the spirit and a fruit of our healing labors. God wants us to not only experience joy, but to embody it. We cover why joy is so important in trauma recovery, how to avoid toxic positivity and bypassing when cultivating joy, and how to cultivate more joy in your life with the realities and unique challenges of being a trauma survivor in mind. As a survivor, it can be more challenging to experience joy, but like the rest of healing work, it is a skill that can be learned. You CAN live a joyful life, in spite of all that has happened to you.

Things will get better as you continue to heal. God will reveal how He wants to use you at the right time. Working on your healing is one thing you can do right now that you know God would want you to do. What are small things you can do to make life better for yourself and others? You can never go wrong when working a little bit each day to do good. Take care of yourself. God bless.

There are so many resources out there now. Emotional abuse is no joke, but know that God loves you, and I'm hope you're able to stay safe, whatever that means for you. Take one day at a time and one step at a time and be kind to yourself. God loves you.

    Hi I just wanted to add this verse from Paul because it literally has helped me with anxious feelings and thoughts. Just not long ago I was in temptation to take more of my gabapentin than I usually take for relief and I just said “Lord I bring these thoughts under your authority Lord Jesus” and the temptation just went away! I just praise God for who He is! Your video came up and I couldn’t withhold from wanting share this. Thank you so much “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬

    Just remember, struggles, pain, and whatever yout going through is a mirror/contrast to God and His love. Look at it as a measurement of how God is the opposite of that. If you feel extremely overwhelmed and afraid, measure that, and realize that just as bad as your pain and struggle is, God surpasses that level of pain. If you're feeling extremely tired.... God is extremely strong, and even stronger. The amount you're feeling hated and forggoten.....is the amount Gof loves you and remembers you (and more than that). As dark of a situation you're in, God's light is just as intense (and more.) (No Im not saying these things are less if your struggle is less) The good news about God is, it's a win win scenario. The darker the world is and the pain and corruption of sin, the greater and brighter God's light, grace, and mercy is to those who come to Him. If the whole world hates you and you bare that weight, realize and feel that the weight of God's love and acceptance is just that big (and bigger) The point is, we no longer have to identify as a victim to these things, but rather look at them as a mirror to see that even with the darkest of dark situations, imagine that level of intensity, and greater, with God's love. Hope that makes sense.

      This is great advice. God's forgiveness is as far as the east is from the west, and his love is greater than our trauma, while we don't need to invalidate our experiences. God's love is immense for us and he wants good things for us.

      That's a good question, and complicated. The work of Lisa Romano and Melanie Tonia Evans cover this well, and if you check out the channel's podcasts and videos, you'll see some episodes on dealing with toxic and narcissistic people, as well as "gray rocking." The other two aren't Christian channels, but they do have some good stuff. Do some research on that term, what it means, and how you can use it when dealing with a narcissist. I'm sorry you have to deal with such a person, but I do understand the difficulty from experience. Look at the playlist on the channel on narcissism and narcissistic abuse for more resources. Here is a list of books that are helpful as well, many of which I've read. They are good. I hope this helps. ineffableliving.com/best-books-on-narcissistic-abuse/

      Stylist62, I'm so sorry to hear all that you've been through, and that you've had to deal with a narcissist. It's sad that we go to churches for support, and unfortunately, many of them don't know how to support survivors, or they can in some cases side with abusers. Of course, there are wonderful churches out there as well. Unfortunately, most churches are not trauma informed, don't know what it takes to heal trauma, and can sometimes even make things worse. While this and similar channels aren't a replacement for church, that is one reason this platform was created. If you haven't, there's also a Facebook group on the platform where you can connect with other survivors. God loves you, even when believers don't always know how to support you, and I've met so many wonderful Christians who do. facebook.com/groups/christianemotionalrecovery

    Thank you for your videos. I wish there was this kind of gentle help especially in church but there isn’t always. The feelings you be described have been coming up so frequently and I have no where to go but deal with them alone and with one friend. They are so painful you feel you might die. There’s so much that has happened in my life and most people just don’t understand. These feelings can be so scary and shocking to people but they can’t really understand unless they’ve gone through it and there’s stuff from my early years that has been hidden from me. I constantly ask God what is wrong with me and I have had some people who should have helped me sensitively not do so. It’s actually made the opportunity for others to treat me badly sometimes. Sometimes the feelings are so deep and impossible to name, I don’t even know how to address them. I don’t know what to do. Even whilst I am going through hell a lot, I still go out and take care of others, so that makes me feel invisible. I often feel God has abandoned me in this area of my life and He rarely talks to me about my childhood, interactions with men, women, people, father, mother, rejection etc. It’s just like He keeps pushing me forward whilst I have this great pain. I wish there were more people like you who treat people with such care. God always promises He will heal me and I do not take medication and have always believed that He would and will but the pain has been getting worse and if you’re a child, you wouldn’t be able to name those feelings except your body knows them, your heart and you’re spirit. I have good days where I feel like God is so there, but it’s when I’m alone, the scared, abandoned, orphaned, hurt, bruised, neglected, abused child comes out. It’s weird. Thank you for your videos. They make a difference.

      You're welcome. I'm glad my videos have been helpful. I'm working on a podcast that I'll put out soon. I hope these podcasts can help you to understand the emotions and trauma that can feel like a block. I believe that sometimes this trauma can make us feel that God isn't there, but he always is. He loves you and he loves me. I know sometimes it doesn't feel like it. I won't minimize your pain or what you've been through though. There are so many people that don't understand trauma, the nature of trauma, or what people go through with this. I want you to know that I see you, and that if I can heal, there are ways anyone can heal. I don't think there is enough out there in the Christian community about modalities that heal trauma specifically, and this is my calling, so please stay tuned for more soon that can help.
