When Darkness Loses Its Power: Healing Trauma Through the Father’s Love with Dr. Robin Braun

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2150716/fan_mail/new] In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Dr. Robin Braun to explore the journey of healing from eating disorders, perfectionism, and performance-based identity — through the transformative love of Father God. Dr. Braun shares her unique path into inner healing, combining tools like frequency work, muscle testing, and deliverance ministry with her work as a licensed professional counselor. Her approach has helped countless individuals break free from trauma and step into true identity and wholeness. We also step into the weightier side of her calling — her groundbreaking work with survivors of extreme trauma, including Satanic ritual abuse and MKUltra. These stories are not easy to hear, but they reveal a profound truth: when darkness is exposed, it loses its power. As Dr. Braun says, “Once you take the lid off of darkness, darkness loses its power.” Rather than focusing on the trauma itself, Dr. Braun brings survivors into encounters with Jesus — where wounded parts are met with love, truth, and miraculous healing. It’s a conversation that will challenge you, stretch your understanding, and ultimately point you back to hope. Dr. Braun is also the author of impactful books including Living Like a Son: Releasing Blocks to Truly Knowing a Loving Father God and Thrive: Applying Biblical & Quantum Energy Principles to Live a Transformed Life. This episode is a powerful reminder: no matter how deep the wound, healing is possible.
