Th - 8/11/22 - Rev. Marya Moore - Helping Your Friends Recover from Trauma

Rev. Marya Moore - Helping Your Friends Recover from Trauma (We all have spheres of influence where we minister to those around us - Marya testifies of enduring a lot of trauma while growing up and experiencing much more as an emergency room nurse in hospital ICUs - PTS, Post-Traumatic Stress, is basically unprocessed trauma - John Cane is a public figure used an  example of a prisoner of war who dealt with PTS and yet achieved increasingly higher levels of accomplishment - Just because we have big problems or trauma in our lives, doesn't mean there isn't a hope and a destiny for us - All our pain and suffering aren't taken from us at salvation but are left there for God to woo us to Him - Faith feeds on impossibilities, the God kind of faith - Trauma = an event outside the norm of everyday experience that causes physical, mental, emotional or spiritual harm. It's victims typically experience powerful disturbing emotions. Healing takes time and effort. -- Marya's dad suffered PTS and was an alcoholic that suffered childhood trauma - She tells of a grandson that endured a severe cancer that attacked his spine at three years old, who lost his dad to cancer three years later - Marya tells how God gave her grace to help her grandson through his traumas of cancer and loss of his dad - A lot of times it's easier to be mad than sad to hide the pain of trauma - One path taken by trauma sufferers is self isolation, anger, substance abuse - The other path is to address the trauma, to talk and lament, forgive others and forgive God - A lament is a form of prayer, as in Psalm 13 and Psalm 116, an honest prayer from a broken heart, putting your hope in God - When we process the trauma we get to the new normal where the memory of pain no longer defines us - Living in the new normal frees us from the pain of the past, empowers us to live in the present and builds our future as we pay it forward - The best advice to a traumatized person is to go to your happy place, prayer closet or a place where you can have an outflow, eg: take care of kittens, puppies - During the days following a traumatic event, we have the opportunity to know God personally - To get through trauma is to get the heart aligned with the mind and the Truth of God) (Vision International Support Ministries)
