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.

When I began working with people to help them heal from difficult childhood experiences, I began having more and more conversations at work and with people in general about childhood trauma. We would talk about their struggles, hopes and wishes related to healing from childhood trauma.
I began to see a pattern of women not understanding, minimizing or dismissing their traumatic experiences. The more I hear it, the more it breaks my heart to hear these lovely women say it, and I want to address it today.
Many women don’t believe what they experienced was serious enough to warrant seeking help. After all, they did not experience any significant events like violent sexual assault, war, or life-threatening situations. This means they often remain stuck in pain with trauma wounds instead of getting the support and healing they need.
Today, I dig into the classifications of trauma, how trauma is actually formed and why your trauma is not based on a particular event.
I will provide space for you to understand why your experience and trauma wounds deserve to be validated, voiced and addressed.
I hope this episode brings you some freedom and healing.
Blessings and Love
Jenneis :-)

Let’s talk about journaling. How does journaling help with trauma symptoms like anxiety, stress or depression?
If you struggle with feeling overwhelmed and unable to process feelings, journaling can benefit you.
It gives you the opportunity to sit and process while engaging multiple areas of the brain for problem-solving, lifting moods and increasing self-awareness.I also provide tips on how to begin journaling in a way that suits you, and then I share my journaling process.
I hope you find this helpful.
Blessings and Love.

Boundaries, Boundaries, Boundaries.
What are they? Is it selfish to set boundaries? Is it even Christlike?
Today, I will answer all these questions and share why I believe it is NOT selfish to set boundaries.
If you are unsure if you have healthy, porous or rigid boundaries, you will get insight into what these mean and how they appear.
If a lack of boundaries are causing you emotional and physical distress, and you know you need to firm up boundaries, I would provide examples and tips on how to start doing that.
I pray this blesses you.
Take good care
Jenniel :-)

Can God heal your trauma?
When you first hear this question, you might be tempted to look at it as a question about God’s ability to do something about your situation, but I want to invite you to ask this question from the view of what you believe about God.
Today, I will answer this question from the perspective of what we believe about God, what he says he can do for you, and I will share how I answered this question in my life.
Scripture is filled with promises, stories, and assurances of how God moved in the lives of people to heal and deliver them. God lays out his character, heart for you and compassion for your pain and he invites you to believe when He says he wants to heal you.
Whatever you’ve been through God can redeem any situation and give you a brand new beginning through his healing power.
Blessings and Love
Jenniel

In the last episode I shared a body orienting exercise that prepares you to do the exercises I share today. To get the most out of today’s episode, I encourage you to listen to episode number 9 before continuing.
Dealing with anxiety is not pretty, it is often inconvenient, embarrassing and makes you self-conscious. All you want to do is be in control of yourself but when anxiety occurs, it becomes more difficult to stay in calm and collected.If you struggle to keep symptoms of anxiety under control, today I will share two simple exercises you can use to stay regulated.
Between these two episodes you will learn more about how anxiety symptoms shows up for you, how you can notice them at first occurrence and what to do about them.
Blessings and Love Jenniel

Meditating on God's word is a great way to deal with anxiety as a Christian woman. It is also important to know more about how anxiety develops in the body, because depending on the type of anxiety and the stage of the symptoms, there are additional strategies you can use.
Today I want to talk about the other side of treating anxiety. That is at the somatic or body level.
You will hear some of the common physical and psychological symptoms of anxiety and I will share the steps you need to take to identify how your body responds to your anxiety triggers.
I will also walk you through a body orienting exercise that you can practice to begin identifying your first signs of physical distress. Knowing what your body’s first signs are is key to managing and even preventing further anxiety symptoms from developing and leading to panic attacks.
Once you try the exercise, let me know what your experience was like.
Blessings and Love
Jenniel

Hello Sister Friend,
Being stuck in the space of trauma wounds is painful, discouraging and, at times, debilitating. You know there is more to life, you want to experience healing and growth, but you find it difficult to take a step toward help. This is quite normal for trauma survivors. Moving forward requires support, courage, and faith.
In today’s episode, I talk about 4 reasons that keep Christian women from seeking out trauma healing, and if you can identify with any of the reasons, I have some quick tips for you. I also provide practical examples of how I addressed these reasons when they showed up in my life, and I hope it encourages you to explore how you, too can take your next step to get the healing you want and the life you desire.
If you have other reasons that keep you from seeking healing, send them to the email below. If I get responses with a common theme, I will do a part 2 of the show.
I pray this episode blesses you.
If you enjoyed the episode, it would bless me greatly if you head over to Apple Podcast and leave a review for the show.
Blessings and Love
Jenniel
