Practices to Heal Trauma Series-Part 1: Traditional Practices to Heal Trauma discusses what kinds of therapies work the most effectively in healing trauma. This episode acts as an intro to the series, breaking down the types of practices we'll discuss, and breaking down how each practice will be presented in the next four episodes.
This episode covers five traditional Christian practices that can contribute to healing trauma when practiced on a regular basis: Scripture, Devotionals, Teachings and Sermons, Prayers, and Praise and Worship.
Each modality is broken down by what is the practice, disclaimers (if any) about the practice, how the practice works and how to do it, evidence of its impact and healing in trauma, recommended resources, and strategies from my experience. These practices, in the next four episodes, are broken down in a way to help you decide, pray, and discern which practices you might use to help you heal trauma.
