The good news: we can heal from trauma!

The bad news: abuse and trauma can make the things that can bring healing seem bad.

It is a clinically proven fact that the one thing that can help someone heal from abuse, neglect, or trauma is relationship.

In foster and adoptive world, where I come from, children that suffer neglect or abuse begin to fear all forms of relationship.

So we end up in paradox. We want to feel close to God. Community, small groups, prayer, Bible study worship, meditation can help. But now they taste like food-poisioning chorizo.
