Healing Trauma: Understanding the Body's Role in Spiritual & Emotional Wholeness

PSR Podcast is a listener supported outreach of Be Broken Ministries. Partner with us through giving at BeBroken.org/donate . Thank you for your support! ---------- In this episode, I welcome back Kristin Cary to explore the mind-body connection, especially how our bodies respond to trauma and betrayal. Kristin shares insights from her ministry, Living Truth, explaining how God designed our nervous systems to protect us through natural responses like fight, flight, or freeze. We discuss the importance of compassion over shame, practical grounding techniques (like the butterfly hug; even walking or jogging), and the vital role of community in healing. Kristin encourages us to honor our bodies as God’s creation and to approach trauma recovery with patience, curiosity, and faith. To learn more about Kristin and her ministry, visit Living-Truth.org .
