How Healing Complex Trauma Transforms Our Image of God
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- In this episode, I delve into how our healing from complex trauma also heals our image of God. Drawing from my own experiences since 2008, I discuss three types of trauma-emotional neglect, emotional/spiritual abuse, and enmeshment trauma-and their impact on our relationship with God. I explain how authentic love and healing can reshape these distorted images, drawing on personal stories and insights to illustrate this transformative process. I also address the challenges and fears that come with such profound changes in our understanding and experience of God. Join me as I share this deeply personal and challenging journey towards healing and a more authentic relationship with God.

I too was raised a Catholic by abusive parents, and I too have a distorted image of God, our Father. I still have never experienced a mother's love, and I was the scapegoat for my father's insecurities and shame. My marriage breakup was a direct consequence of my distorted relationship with my abusive parents. I pray that I will heal one day from trauma and religious abuse. I would like to learn to live and love the way God loves me.
Yes, sister he makes all things new, I also went through a divorce because of my father wound. Yet today I am healed and married again. 🕊🤍
I’m so sorry about your family of origin trauma and the havoc it has wreaked on your life. 🥺Praying that you will be led into healing and into wholeness too. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for letting God use you to speak to me. This what i needed to hear in my journey right now.
Wow wow wow. I have been praying for months now for God to truly show me His love for me. To show me how He sees me so I can PLEASE let go of the thoughts caused by my CPTSD. I’ve been going through it, mentally. This just summed up EVERYTHING I’ve felt and have been so afraid of!! Thank you so much! Even through all my chaos there’s been this deep down peace inside that lets me know it’s okay. You wanna talk about gentle?!😩❤I just opened RUclips and this was recommended but this couldn’t have been more on time. You are truly a blessing.
That's awesome!! I also suggest you to watch Tim Fletcher!
No pulpit but you gave a whole sermon. I pray God continues to uplift you more and more❤
Wow! I’m 60 years old and just realized how askew my image of God is due to complex trauma. I need to re-listen. So glad the Lord led me to your channel.
It's never too late to discover new things about ourselves! 🙏🏼🔥
This was the first five years after I got saved and clean from addiction. I constantly feared I was wrong and would lose God's favor, because of my family of origin dynamic. I am still healing 12 years later, and have learned that God loves us so much more than we could ever possibly imagine
Amen!
Thank you. You are truly a channel of God's grace and blessings validating my experiences of ongoing healing. I have never had a human companion to journey with me. However, ten years ago, by God's grace, I was introduced to CHRISTIAN MEDITATION as taught by the late Fr John Main, OSB. CHRISTIAN MEDITATION is a way of praying in simplicity, stillness, and silence. Practising it twice a day as a discipline has allowed deep healing in my person (which I can't even explain or completely understand). Slowly, the fruits of the Spirit began to manifest especially in relationships. The saying that "God is closer to us than our breath" isn't just a saying but a reality experienced in the ordinariness of daily life. The discipline of CHRISTIAN MEDITATION has been a way of experiencing a deepening love relationship with God primarily because the prayer of silence in stillness is a prayer of complete surrender to God allowing Him to work and move in me, so that I may have my being in Him. TO GOD ALONE BE ALL THE GLORY!
Ann, you are a gem! Intelligent, articulate yet humble and down to earth. Thank you for helping us on our journey to wholeness. Tim Fletcher on RUclips is a very good therapist as regards Complex Trauma - if anyone is interested. God bless.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing a resource on complex trauma!
This is timely in my healing place. It’s more validation than what is new as I have been on this journey for years. However, this is a great presentation of what I learned through taking my emotions to the spiritual warfare version of the rosary. I suffered severe cptsd which left
me with a distorted image of myself unable to receive love. Even God’s. However, my image was cleaned from seeing myself through abusive narcissistic people to seeing my image through His. That’s where I am now. New wine skin. He is the new wine. I asked Mary to help me to mature emotionally and spiritually. Obviously I learned the psychology. But the healing comes through God. It moves it into my body and heart.
I just love how the algorithm "randomly" recommended your video. This just rung true with me from beginning to end. Thank you so much for sharing.
The algorithm has got me surprised too - this particular video's reach is unprecedented for my channel! I'm so glad it reached you, and that it spoke to you!
Your words have brought light in my darkness that I didn't even realize how broken I really am. My journey with the Lord has shifted into a new level. Finding this video has been such a blessing from God. At just the right time too. His timing is perfect. Thank you so very much for your knowledge and wisdom! ❤
Our earthly father creates the idea we have of our heavenly father. This was my deepest wound. Today I help women how to heal from it too. I continue to grow and root in his love. Wonderful video Sister in Christ.
My lifelong search for understanding has also brought me to these same insights! You present and articulate them well, thank you.
Thank you! It's always heartening to hear of others having the same lifelong search and arriving at similar insights! Especially on a topic that isn't covered very much in "usual faith circles". I hope you explore some of my other videos if the intersection of complex trauma, healing and faith interests you!
I thank God that when i opened my phone 🤳🏿 in the morning to start my day. Yours was the first video i watched and it hit home that sm seeing God through my anxious attachment. Thinking He loves me when i am doing good things like reading the bible everyday and praying 4 long periods of time. His put me in an isolation period AND ITS HELL for someone who lives from getting validation from people especially from men. I fall into fornication because i crave closeness and love (even though in this era people believe in hookup culture and not relationship) then i hate myself and hide away from God because i feel His choosen the worst person to want to bring His glory through. I am an anointed worshipper, something that came as a complete surprise seeing as iv never been good at anything. Now i am feeling the pressure to perform for Him to approve me but i fail

Thank you!!!!!! I feel like so many church and Christian’s invalidate the journey of neurodivergent and survivors of Complex Trauma
This is so beautiful! I love that you have come into this truest experiential knowledge! I am so excited to hear you speak so beautifully about healing trauma and how we will then see God differently in that.
I can’t believe I’m one of the first 1000 subscribers here🤯 this is such high quality content. Thank you so much for all that you share!
Thank you! 🥹
This video is Holy Spirit sent. Thank you for sharing. You gained a new subscriber! I have a passion to help women in this area of influence and I’ll be learning from you along the way!
You nailed it
The reason AA works and is not allowed in a Baptist basement is finding the god of your understanding and your willingness to be a servant not a son
Doesn’t matter the sin I think this is key
Thank you so much for this message. Listening to it this morning was such a blessing and healing balm as you so gracefully put into words what I’ve been pondering and wrestling with the past couple of days. 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you so much for this , you are a true gift to the Body of Christ. This really helped put the pieces together for me . I have been in the process over the last 6 years of healing from CPTSD. I have come so far but there were some pieces I couldn't put together .. The wonderful guiding counsel of the Holy Spirit led me to your video which helped me put those pieces together. God bless you , keep doing what you're doing it's so needed!!
Praise God! Thank you for sharing this - may you continue to be graced in your healing journey! 🙏🏻♥️
god bless you and thank you. started crying from deep within at one point in that, unexpectedly... (and my dog came over and licked my hand...) - you were describing difficult things that have been very true to my experiences - and it is hard even to understand one's own experience, so it is good to listen to this'd hear it explained even so I can understand what's been happening to me - I feel like the night clouds parted and I saw a bright star straight ahead, to reassure me that I am on the right path
I am moved by your sharing. I am so glad your dog is part of this healing experience! (Mine is often in the corner of the screen when I am making my videos, and she's my healing companion too!)
The interior journey is most of the time like the dark night, and moments when the clouds part and we glimpse that bright star are graced and precious indeed. I am very amazed and honoured that God used this video to part the clouds for you!
I thank God for leading me to your chanel! I have longed for the christian perspective of cptsd. Thought it was impossible and here you are! From the bottom of my heart: thank you!❤
You’re welcome! I hope you find encouragement here!
Wow, thank you SO much.. This is important ! 💛
Wow! I felt sooooo seen watching this. You’ve helped organized my confusing and chaotic thoughts into place and put words to it. Thank you!
Glad this resonated! 🙏🏻☺️
This has been received. Thank you 🙏🏻
A very important topic. Thank you.
I’m glad you think so… thanks for watching! 😊🙏🏻
Great video! It really resonates wirh me! Can you make a video on how to begin to heal/build our boundaries, if already have some video on this topic, please tell me
It is truth your sharing 💖. Thank you ❤
This is SO INSIGHTFUL AND INCREDIBLY HELPFUL
Oh Ann, thank you so much for this incredible podcast, I so relate now and understand my hurdles in Spiritual growth.
Praise God! It is such a grace when we experience these moments of clarity about our spiritual journey! 🙏🏼
Informative and intriguing video. I have had this opinion for a long time, but you put in such a succinct and detailed way. I appreciate your logical approach.
I had parents who were manipulative and abusive and neglectful...i find it so hard to accept gods love without tryhard to earn his love but i feel so discouraged and anxious as i cant see Gods love for me!
How to we who suffer find the trust when we never have experienced love we could trust or connection fteely offred and not earned? I feel like its a deep and painful issue for me i really dont see hia love for me and my feelings and deeams! How to find healing and hope in God?
I am so very sorry for your pain, and I hope you know (esp from reading the other comments to this video) that you are not alone!
It is for fellow wounded seekers like you that I felt called to start the Becoming Me Podcast. The audio only episodes started before I included video on RUclips.
There are over 70 audio only episodes that speak to the wounded, abandoned heart which you cannot find on my RUclips channel. Perhaps you might also find support in those earlier episodes as you ponder the questions you have on your journey!
You can find my podcast here: www.becomingmepodcast.com
Absolutely enjoyed this. Glad to discover your channel.
Thank you and welcome aboard!
Thank you for making this video. I really appreciate it 😢❤
You're so welcome! 🙏🏻
Just in time. ❤❤❤. Aleluya!🎉🎉
I pray for yhe courage snd strength to be brave and heal as you say...i need a wise spiritual guidance person to help me but im not sure where to look.
If you haven't checked it out yet, I just released a conversation with a seasoned, trauma-informed Catholic spiritual director/guide. In the show notes of this episode you can also find links to 3 earlier audio only episodes I recorded with her on my podcast:

Is it normal that I became very emotional after watching this like grief and anger came over me late in the day. This is really good though.
🥹 The experience you describe is definitely normal if this video awakened a new awareness in you about the wounds you bear. Grief and anger are definitely parts of the healing process!
I speak about rebuilding trust with our emotions (especially difficult ones like grief and anger) in this video if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/EiWT_QzpTb0/видео.htmlsi=luoZrFrls-ct3JVJ
I also have an older audio only podcast episode about being a safe space for our emotions here: www.becomingmepodcast.com/being-a-safe-space-for-myself-with-edwina-yeow/
Hope these help to companion and support you in your journey!
Really really helpful. God bless you

🥹 I am glad you find my channel helpful!
This was lovely. Do you have any videos relating to "arrested development"?
Thank you! I don't have any videos specifically related to "arrested development" although I do make reference sometimes to how trauma can keep us stuck in our emotional and/or spiritual development!
I hope to find more patience and kindness for myself and others....can u please pray for me??
❤Thank you
Isnt surrender and trust very difficult for those suffering from abuse? It causes me anxiety and anguish as i try to surrender yet feel a lack of trust in my heart! What to do then?
Yes, very normal! Many of my podcast episodes and RUclips videos address these issues. I invite you to take your time to browse the titles and show notes for episodes that may speak to your questions.
Apart from my RUclips channel there are also earlier audio only podcast episodes which you can find at www.becomingmepodcast.com.
@@annchats thanks very much ill check them out
You are so sweet❤
GOD EMOTIONALLY ABUSED ME FOR ALMOST 40YRS
I WANT TO TRUST HIM I LITERALLY CANT.
SOMETIMES I THINK HE IS JUST MESSING W ME!
OR MAYBE IT WAS H8S DEVIL WHO DID YHIS ABUSE CORRECT?
🙌🇧🇷
Want to have a right view of God? Read the Bible.
Also, ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom on who He is.
Those are definitely essential parts of the journey and process!
