The Power of Faith in Trauma Recovery

Russell Kennedy
About this episode

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, I dive deep into the impact of faith and trauma in our lives.

Childhood trauma often shakes our faith in the world, burdening us with a belief that everything relies on our shoulders, especially for sensitive individuals.

The central message revolves around faith as an antidote to worry and anxiety.

I discuss the tendency to lose our authentic selves while trying to protect others, even if those we protect are negative influences, while introducing the concept of "objecting without contracting," where we refrain from tightening or resisting when faced with worries.

This practice can break the cycle of anxiety and help us trust that the universe can protect us, ultimately leading to a more secure and peaceful life.

Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
