S2E9 Trauma Reenactment, Sin and Redemption

*Content Warning* This episode contains content not suitable for minors and may activate traumatic memories. 

Friends, 

In this episode, I make distinctions between sexual sin and trauma reenactment as a result of early childhood sexual abuse. I address feelings of shame and use examples from my story to demonstrate how beliefs about sin can keep us trapped in self-condemnation and prevent healing. I share personal insights about agency within mental illness, self-forgiveness, and the healing presence of the Father.
