Shades of Trauma Healing | Childhood Trauma, Trust Issues, Coping Skills, Growth Mindset, Trust God, Discernment, Purpose
*** Top 2.5% Podcast *** Do you want to heal the childhood trauma wounds that are holding you back and keeping you from confidently living the life God wants you to live? Does your trauma history keep you crippled by fear, unable to discern and trust God’s plan, process, and purpose for your life? 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, move beyond blocks 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. The impacts of my childhood 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 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. 🌟Mindset strategies and relational tips to help you develop your connection with others. 🌟Spiritual applications to help you deepen your trust and connection with God so you can gain clarity and discernment 🌟Motivational stories from other survivors so you see that you can heal and thrive after childhood trauma. My healing journey led me to address the emotional, spiritual, social, and neurological impacts and wounds caused by trauma, and this resulted in freedom like I’ve never known. And I’d love 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.

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
According to statistics, about 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 20 boys in the United States experience child sexual abuse. This does not include numbers around the world. Usually, someone who is known and trusted by the child or child’s family members perpetrates 91% of child sexual abuse.
In addition, many children wait to report or never report child sexual abuse. Therefore, these numbers most likely underestimate the true impact of the problem. This is a serious trauma, and there are many who need healing.Our guest today is Michelle Hall, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Michelle will share her story of abuse, disclosure, her healing journey and call to purpose.
I hope this episode blesses you.
Blessings and Love 😊

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
Let’s talk about depression.
A depressive episode is where you experience intense sadness and low mood, and you lose interest and pleasure in activities that normally bring you joy for at least 2 weeks.
Some of the symptoms include:
Persistent sadness or empty mood.
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed.
Changes in appetite or weight.
Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping).
Fatigue or loss of energy.
Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt.
Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things.
Irritability or restlessness.
Thoughts of death or suicide.
To name a few…
Depression can be caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Just as we are all different, the specific causes of a depressive episode will vary from person to person, because it's often a complex interplay of these common factors.
In faith circles, people often ascribe depression to a lack of faith or prayer. Today, I want to explore this perspective and offer an alternative view that is more holistic and supportive when dealing with depression.
I hope this episode blesses you.
In Healing and Love 😊

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
Trauma survivors develop controlling behaviors as a coping mechanism to regain a sense of safety, security, and control over their environment following experiences of trauma.
If you find that you can’t help but control others and things or people have told you you’re so controlling, I know that on one level, that hurts, but on the other hand, you just don’t know how else to survive. And that’s the thing, traumatized people see controlling as a survival mechanism
While controlling behaviors may provide a temporary sense of relief or security for trauma survivors, this behaviour can strain or even destroy your relationships. Whether it's a romantic relationship, friendship, or professional partnership, controlling actions can erode trust and lead to resentment and conflict.
In this episode, I provide an understanding of where the controlling behaviours come from, and steps to begin changing and healing.
I hope this episode blesses you.
In Healing and Love 😊

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
Let’s talk about shame. By its very nature, no one wants to explore shame because it means looking at something that does not feel good. Today, we are going to talk about it because it keeps so many women hostage and unable to live out their God-given purpose. Let’s unpack what it is, how it develops, and how to heal from it.
Shame is a complex emotion because it involves feelings like unworthiness, humiliation, inadequacy, and even disgrace. It is different from guilt. Typically, people feel guilty when they do something that goes against their values, a moral code, or ethical standards. Shame, on the other hand, causes the person to feel defective or a failure.
Guilt says, “I’ve done something bad or wrong, but shame says I am bad, and there’s something wrong with me.”
Shame stays with trauma survivors like a dark cloud that shows up everywhere they go. It feels heavy; it’s always whispering lies and feeding you with negative self-talk about your worth and your identity. It just does not go away, and that in itself is emotionally draining.
I will share the environments shame needs to thrive and how to begin healing from your emotions of shame.
I hope this episode blesses you.
In Healing and Love 😊

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽
There’s a lot of talk about mindfulness these days, and mindfulness is often associated with Buddhism and Eastern practices, so some Christian women stay clear of it. Today I will delve into what mindfulness is and what it isn’t. Is it okay for you to practice it and if you do, how do you do it?
Mindfulness can help you deepen your connection with God. By being present in the moment and focusing on God's presence, you can experience a deeper sense of spiritual awareness and communion. Mindfulness can also help reduce stress and anxiety by encouraging you to let go of worries and concerns and focus on the present moment in God's presence.
I’ll look at barriers to mindfulness from a trauma and theological perspective, and provide you with 4 different exercises that aligns with Christianity to get you started.
I hope this episode blesses you.
In Healing and Love 😊
