How long has it been since you felt free?
- Or since you laid down in the grass and watched the clouds without feeling worried?
- Since you blew dandelion seeds across a field just because it's fun?
- Since you risked swinging as high as you could and felt like you were flying?
- Since you laughed out loud at church? Since you read the Bible with curiosity?
Trauma can stop us in our tracks and teach us that life is dangerous and that we must be on guard. Often, in the months and years following something traumatic we learn to maintain a posture of fear and protection rather than exploration and curiosity. We become enslaved to this task of keeping ourselves and those we love safe and the sad consequence is that we can lose our ability to grow.
What if instead you could experience growth and joy?
Half of those people who experience trauma become slaves to safety, but the other half grow stronger and braver. And the great news is that outcomes after trauma ARE NOT left up to chance. There are very clear steps we can take to ensure that life expands rather than shrinks. And, one of the most important steps is to allow another person to go on this journey of growth with you. God designed us for relationship and human beings are not meant to heal in isolation. It just doesn't work that way. We need each other.
