Finding Company in the Pain of Trauma

This week on The Christian Wellbeing Show, host Michelle addresses the topic of trauma, how alone people can feel in this painful journey, the daily intensity of trying to survive, and the importance of people being able to look at others’ journeys to help them feel they are not alone. But how can they hear other people’s stories without being traumatised even more?

Through reflective discussions on the biblical stories of Adam and Eve, Joseph, Jacob, and Naomi, Michelle underscores the ancient roots of trauma, the resilience of the human spirit, and helps the sufferer realise they are not alone in their pain, with the distance of time provided by these Bible stories as a buffer, instead of the rawness that current stories might bring.

This gentle but honest look at trauma brings hope as Michelle uses these Bible stories to look at the possibilities in God of finding a compensation, discovering an unexpected plan, and even finding a blessing, however impossible it may seem.
