Our world today is not without life’s stressors. While we may not be foraging to find our food or worried about a bear attack out in the wilderness, we still have scenarios that put us into fight, flight, or flee responses. Many people assume we are born with the skills needed to deal with life’s stressors, but we are not born with healthy emotional expression, boundary setting, or emotional intelligence tools.

Pull the Weeds

I hold to the assumption that every breathing person has endured a degree of betrayal and harm that not only damages our soul-heart, but also leaves us in the pit of shame.

If you have survived school recess or sport locker rooms or sorority induction, then you know the sting of being made to feel unworthy because of who you are. Sadly, too many of you have experienced betrayal from a father, mother, or spouse: being made to feel your body was wrong; routinely punished for not being “good enough”; discovering the one you made a lifelong vow to has given their body to another; feeling the weight of abuse as another body rapes you, punches you, locks you away, or threatens you.

You aren't crazy!

You aren’t crazy! Many of us are feeling a little crazy right now. Listen as a great friend and counselor explains why you might be feeling “off” emotionally and physically! Is it triggering past loss? betrayal? grief? trauma?

“ Almost all trauma occurs under a certain set of circumstances. Victims are unable to escape. The circumstances or perpetrator invoke(s) fear in the victim. There is a power struggle that the victim loses – against another person, system, or nature. At some level, a betrayal occurs (I’ll have to explain that one in another blog!).
