Heal for Real

Description:For the believer - trauma recovery is a mind-renewal process that involves being sanctified by God's Word and His Truth just as much as it involves learning/re-learning life skills, stress management skills and stabilizing your nervous system! In this episode I am diving into the spiritual component of the trauma recovery journey by looking at:  * How God's Word Makes the Crooked Places Straight in Your Heart * The Corruption of the Human Heart  (How man can never fully grasp the heart of man - we need God for that) * Double-Mindedness and Personality Instability (How God's Word gives us security and stability) * Seeking Healing from the World First Rather than seeking the Lord first My hope is that this episode stirs your faith to walk in Victory as a child of God - knowing first that you belong to the Lord as you recover from the pain of trauma.  Email me: growhealchange1@gmail.com [growhealchange1@gmail.com]  Follow on Instagram: www.instagram.com/growhealchange [https://www.instagram.com/growhealchange]  Apply for the Faithful Institute: www.shylacash.com/faithful [http://www.shylacash.com/faithful]  Sign up for the Faithful Info Session: www.shylacash.com/faithfulinfo [http://www.shylacash.com/faithfulinfo]  Join the Faithful Pop-up Group and get access to the live video series from November 13 - 17: www.facebook.com/groups/faithfulinstitute [http://www.facebook.com/groups/faithfulinstitute]

PRAYERS FOR YOUR TRAUMA HEALING JOURNEY -PART 1 One prayer I often pray is: “Father - make the crooked places straight in my heart” I get this prayer from the metaphor often found in Scripture of “preparing the way of the Lord” In the Old Covenant before Jesus came, Prophets would proclaim His coming and they would declare that One was coming who would make things right with humanity. Who would “level the playing field” against sin, corruption and evil. One who would heal and restore and repair. One who would light the way both in the world and in our hearts. I love this metaphor because it is so profoundly true in the context of trauma. Sin & Trauma creates so much confusion, dysregulation and disruption in our hearts and minds. As a result, we can see things from distorted lenses. The Gospel of Christ is the true light for trauma because when Jesus comes into our lives - He doesn’t just ask for surface-level relationship with us. He doesn’t save us and then we just continue in our old bent-up, crooked coping mechanisms and habits and flawed ways of thinking and being. 🌹Isaiah 42:16 🌹Isaiah 40:1-5 Instagram: www.instagram.com/growhealchange [https://www.instagram.com/growhealchange]  Facebook: www.facebook.com/growhealchange [https://www.facebook.com/growhealchange]  Work with me: www.shylacash.com/jumpstart [https://www.shylacash.com/jumpstart]  Email Me: growhealchange1@gmail.com [growhealchange1@gmail.com]  Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/41n4mRb5p7g [https://youtu.be/41n4mRb5p7g]

Everyone say it with me: Co-Regulation leads to self-regulation! This is a key concept for understanding trauma healing at the nervous system level because it teaches us how we can access neuroplasticity with support from other people who have regulated nervous systems.In this episode, I talk about * What is nervous system regulation exactly?  * How does co-regulation lead to self-regulation  * The Role of Co-Regulation in Neurodevelopment from the womb onward  * Bottom Up Brain Development (Dr Bruce Perry’s neurosequential development theory) * Dysregulation, trauma and the healing impact of Co-Regulation * The Fruit of the Spirit:How the Gospel makes us naturally more regulated and co-regulated Scriptures mentioned in the episode:  * Galatians 5:13-26  * Matthew 19:13-15  * 1 Corinthians 13 * 1 Thessalonians 2:6-8  Instagram: www.shylacash.com/growhealchange [https://www.shylacash.com/growhealchange] Email me: growhealchange1@gmail.com [growhealchange1@gmail.com]   Waitlist for New Gospel-Centered Trauma Training - The Faithful Trauma Recovery Institute: www.shylacash.com/faithfulwaitlist [https://www.shylacash.com/faithfulwaitlist]  Work with me 1-1 inside the 8 Week Nervous System Jumpstart Program: www.shylacash.com/jumpstart [https://www.shylacash.com/jumpstart]

Let's go back to the beginning, shall we?  In this episode, I share from the book of Genesis - the beginning of the Bible.  Since I have become a Christian, my worldview has been transformed by the power of God's word and His Holy Spirit. And this worldview change, includes how I approach the philosophical ideas and theories of trauma. What we believe about God and ourselves will impact how we approach the treatment of trauma and the experience of suffering and healing. I believe the Bible gives a coherent, powerful, and ultimately liberating reason for why we experience trauma and suffering in our world today.  Here's some of what I cover in this episode: What is theology?  Why is theology important to trauma?  Sin and the fall Why is there trauma in the world?  How I approach the science of somatics (body-based trauma healing) Practical guidelines for Christians as you approach your trauma healing journey to stay grounded in God's Word and avoid being led astray.
