  • There seems to be a divide between Psychiatry and Christianity. Ellie Stevens is a board-certified psychiatrist who joins the channel to discuss her experience of healing from trauma in her new book Unshackled. Ellie bridges the gap between the reality of mental health and the reality of healing that comes from a relationship with Jesus.

    This is so me! I stuffed and suppressed my trauma and threw myself into achievement, making a lot of money. Now that stress has shut my body down, I can’t help but to get back on track with my relationship with God.

    I used to think that I didn't have faith in God if I went outside the church for things I was dealing with mentally.

    Wow, just wow! After sooo many years of not being able to put into words how I was feeling and where I felt 'stuck' in my relationship with God, both of you made statements that just hit me like ...wow. I am saving this video so I can watch it through again. Many things here for me to meditate on and pray over. THANK YOU both!

    Thank you so much. I literally sat in church yeterday and thought about something similar to this. I think my trauma has caused so much shame and condemnation, that I worry I cannot accept God's love. Not because I feel like my sin keeps me from being accepted, I believe in Salvation. It seems like my trauma has wounded me from being able to feel accepted or loved. I can't imagine my pastor being trained well enough in psychology, trauma, shame, and theology to be able to help me through this. thank you for what you have shared and for your mission in this area.

    Your story is very similar to mine, I started suffering anxiety attacks at 33, before I was "successful" but when I started making money I became proud, I wanted to control everything in my life, many things happened in my life during 24 years, also with anxiety attacks and suicidal thoughts, I separated from a very stubborn and proud man, and then I fell into three relationships with men with narcissistic traits, I was devastated, and the crises increased, now I feel the same as you felt, Sometimes I get upset with God, impatient, I'm at a point in my life where I don't want to suffer anymore, however I get up every day with a lot of effort with the help of anxiolytics, the truth is I've told God that I can't handle this emotional pain anymore. , physical and mental, however I continue to pray and beg God to take charge of my life even though I have not reached the point of accepting this pain that is killing me! God have mercy on me and give me your grace for your infinite love and for your holy sacrifice on the cross.

    Oh, thank you so much for this interview! I am so grateful to God for helping me understand, a short time ago (I've been a Christian for about 26 years), that I was feeling really disappointed with Him for allowing some hurting experiences to happen in my life, that shaped my way of seeing life and myself. I still need to process this, but I know I am on the good path.
    Also, I see clearer now how I choose performance over relationship with Him...
    Thank you once again for your interviews! They are much needed.

    This video has taught me a lot. Especially we do not need to strive to prove our worth to God. Thank u for posting. I listened to Dr Ellie Shackled book on Scribd app. She has a lot of fears and difficulty that resonates with me.Its true life is not all about as Christians advice me "Pray pray pray. Give to God give to God".
    Knowing that God accepts me for who I am. And he loves me unconditionally has open a revelation for me.Dr. Ellie said this is not the end. There is still hope. You are not alone. Her testimony is good about "God asked her, why are u blocking my love". That is the same I am doing to God. Not really allowing His love in

    I am struggling to keep my faith because I have found the premise of Christianity, which is that we are sinners, is an impediment to healing. And, in fact, the more we understand about neurobiology the less I see it as sin and the more I see it as survival mechanisms (which are a good thing) have become over active. I
    That understanding has set me free and helped me to heal, but it saddens me because I want to keep my faith. I can’t hold onto something, however, that I think is fundamentally harmful to people.

    I think that knowing that God is going to heal us or give us peace will be when we reach the breaking point. Sometimes I wonder why He tells us that if we, being bad, give bread to our children and not a stone, He is pure and holy and if we ask Him He will give us bread and not a stone, because then we have to go through that immense suffering until we almost die inside, perhaps it is from the death of the seed that He speaks of, in order to be able to bear fruit hoooo! how hard!!
    I also think that some wise people say that acceptance is the end of suffering, the rest is resistance. So profound !!

    Very insightful. I enjoyed this interview greatly. I do have a question. Do you have any resources, or groups you suggest for trauma counseling. I feel I need community in my life with people who have overcame. Is there any Christian groups you suggest. There is greatness with what God has already done for my life, and I believe He still can heal me in these hurt as well. Thank you again. I really loved this podcast!

    I need to talk with this woman!!!!😥 so many questions about the TBI thing. However, I’m bummed because I have a lot of health issues related to fear, anxiety and trauma and hoped, from the title that this was going to be about healing trauma from a Biblical way but did not find it to be so. There is literally nothing that deals with healing trauma in that regard that would by extension get the trauma to lose power in my body.

      Tim Fletcher touches on healing and has a program. I would love to sign up and started too but I thought I probably couldn’t afford. It is biblically based. The staff has been through the issues and healing process. Google pastor Tim Fletcher. I think a lot of prayer, asking the Holy Spirit for help. I pray you find healing.

    I understand a little bit of psychology, but I wouldn’t say I know it all, I did have a NDE though at a young age, and it was creepy, I was coherent enough to know at the time of my mistake that I was going to get hurt, and then I let go and fell to floor from the second floor staircase railing. I was only 18 months old at the time, and when I hit the floor it took the wind out of me, I literally passed out unconscious, while still being able to hear what was going on around me, seemed like I was actually fading away, I heard the sirens, I heard what the paramedics were saying when they came, and all this happened while I was in foster care, before they came, the nanny who was there kinda kicked me a little bit and told me to get up and stop faking it, apparently she didn’t see what happened, I heard everything, I think one of the other kids finally said that I fell and the ambulance was called, I heard the paramedics saying I was going into shock, I also heard one of them saying that they lost the kid. I saw 3 tall beings of blue light, tall, thin with no facial features, and they showed me pictures of some sort, in a shape of a human, in a grid like drawing, then it almost looked like I was in complete darkness or suspended animation, with no account of which way was up or down or right or left, I thought I could move my body part and I’d try to move my hand in front of my face and couldn’t see nothing, then I dreamed of something but it felt like it was forever, I had to focus and force myself to wake up, I screamed and shouted, I know both my knees were badly hurt, surgery on one, and the other knee had to be re-aligned. I remember rehab, and being in a leg brace for a bit. I don’t know how but I did get adopted out, and later I had night terrors, still to this day it seemed like it was my future, but I didn’t understand my dreams nor why I was having them, I went to a psychiatrist that my adopted parents sent me to, the night terrors were to much for them and too much for me, I felt like they were going to get rid of me, or send me back. I do remember the psychiatrist trying to hypnotize me with a chain and a watch, and I believe it worked, up until just a few years ago and started having some arthritis in my knees and it flashed back those memories of my fall, ever since then everyday I’ve been experiencing deja vu. It really seems like I have lived my life multiple times, some not always the same, but wife and kid s the same life, my house I live in, the same. Same set of problems, sometimes same deja vu experiences of conversations with people I meet. I’ve heard it can be caused by a seizure of the frontal lope of the brain. But with all that I’ve experienced this far, it seems like I’ve had a kundalini awakening. Any takes on this?

      @that_missionary 6 месяцев назад

      I’m so sorry to hear about the darkness and confusion you’ve been fighting with. I am praying for you right now. The kundalini stuff if connected to yoga is the wrong side of the apiritual realm to involve yourself with. As was mentioned here, i’d recommend giving yourself to Jesus. Tell Him you’re taking Him as your master and that you’ll seek Him and that you’re waiting for His rescue. God bless you

    Although I haven't yet watched all the video I had to press pause as I have a question and hope that one of you can answer it for me. How do you find psychiatrists or psychologists who are not religious? The reason I am asking is my childhood trauma and the co-morbid classification of multiple mental health issues I still deal with at 53. Sexual, physical, mental and emotional abuse within a religion.

    • @sweetvictory3100

    • @Beaurose-vq8zq
      @Beaurose-vq8zq Год назад

      Firstly, sorry to hear about your experiences, heartbreaking to hear you suffered such abuse from religious people! To answer your question most can be found on the psychologist or psychiatrist registering board website, or asking specifically what their beliefs are when you are looking. However, you could consider going for a faith led one to help you understand the proper ways of God and help you know faith itself isn't the influence or cause of what you experienced but rather peoples abuse of it to hurt others alongside how to process and heal from your traumatic experiences.
