Do you want to overcome the childhood trauma wounds and obstacles that are holding you back? Is the impact of childhood trauma keeping you from confidently living the life God wants you to live? Does your trauma history keep you crippled by fear, yet you want to learn to trust others, trust God’s plan, process, and purpose for your life instead? The effects of childhood trauma can show up as low moods, negative thoughts, overthinking, anxiety, crippling fear, low self-worth, physical illness, constant comparison, or emotional disconnection. I’ve been there. Hey sister-friend 👋🏽 Welcome to the Shades of Trauma Healing Podcast. A space for Christian women of all beautiful shades to experience trauma healing and begin fully living the life God is calling them to live. I’m so glad you’re here 😊 I’m Jenniel, a dearly loved daughter of God, trauma thriver, trauma therapist, and life coach, living out my purpose. As a child, I faced traumatic experiences, and the impact of my trauma remained unaddressed for years. I struggled through life, feeling stuck, unsafe, sensitive to threats of danger, and emotionally disconnected from God and the people around me. I tried to control situations as much as possible because I wanted to feel safe. I desperately wanted to know and live out my purpose but had difficulty hearing God and figuring it out. I pursued education, career goals, ministry, and travelled, trying to find my place and call in this world. I thought had to do more things, but no matter what I did, I still felt unsure of who I was and what I was meant to do. I finally realized that the key to becoming who God wanted me to be started with facing my trauma wounds and pursuing holistic healing so I could remove the obstacles that prevented me from hearing God and experiencing life fully. As I healed from the emotional and somatic impacts of childhood trauma, my relationship with God improved, and I gained clarity about who I am and who God wanted me to be. I began to thrive. Today, I’m the most emotionally and spiritually healthy version of myself. I’m embracing more joy and laughter, and I’m living God’s call on my life as I walk in relationship with him. If you want to overcome the childhood trauma wounds that are holding you back… If you want to develop your ability to trust God and begin thriving in the life he is calling you to live… This podcast is for you. Here you’ll receive trauma education to help identify and address the impacts of childhood trauma that keep you stuck. I’ll share mindset strategies and relational tips to help you develop your connection with others. There’ll be spiritual applications to help you deepen your trust and connection with God so you can gain clarity and discernment, as well as motivational stories for you to see that you can heal and thrive after childhood trauma. My healing journey involved recognizing the emotional, spiritual, social, and neurological wounds caused by trauma. I started a healing journey to address each area, and this resulted in freedom like I’ve never known. And I’m ready to share what I learned and experienced with you! We will approach trauma healing while walking together with God, The One who loves you most and wants you to heal and live an abundant life of joy, peace, and purpose. Today God is saying to you, his daughter… “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10. God’s got you, sister-friend, so let’s do this.

02 | The Definition and Impacts of Childhood Trauma

Hi Sister-friend,
There is so much talk about childhood trauma these days, but what exactly is it, and what are the impacts? Does every negative event in childhood result in trauma?
I answer these questions and more in today’s episodes.
I often see two scenarios with women seeking help. Some have experienced events that resulted in trauma, but because it is not classified as a big event, they deny the impact of their experience.
In the other camp are women who have experienced what is called the bit ‘T’ trauma events but can't put words to their experience, so they feel very alone and continue to suffer in silence.
To help you understand more about trauma and how it develops, I will share research and resources - including a childhood trauma test - that explain trauma events and buffers that often prevent it from developing in children. I will also walk through the Adverse Childhood Experiences quiz so you can get an idea of what is generally considered triggering events for trauma development, and I share how to approach or process the results of the childhood trauma test.
I’ll share my ACES score and what it meant for me in hopes that it encourages you to explore your results. Know that your result is not a life sentence or indicator of what the rest of your life will be like. It is simply information to aid your understanding and help you decide what is next for you in your healing journey.
Finally, there are practical steps you can take after completing your childhood trauma test.
I hope you find the information useful and supportive.
Blessings and Love
Jenniel
