As Christians, if we’re not doing well, it can feel as if we are judged. “Have you prayed enough?” or “Have you forgiven?” We feel as if our not doing well is our fault or that we have to defend God: “It’s OK. I know God will heal me (or give me strength).” Yet so often, our unhealthy behaviors, addictions, or inability to connect intimately are the result of unresolved trauma or betrayal experiences. They disrupt our ability to trust and feel safe and can distort how we think and believe as well as our relationships. Some survivors find it almost impossible to manage shame, internal conflicts, self-defeating cycles or to find protection and healing. For leaders and individuals alike, this faith-based trauma-informed training by Yvonne Martinez, offers candid, sensitive and powerful insights to bring restoration and freedom to the spirit, soul, and body. Recovery changes a life, a family, a city, a society and a culture. When we help one person, we help everyone. Join us as we are equipped to help others and ourselves. Conference fee includes lunch and book.
