Life After Trauma

De: Vanity Charaea Dawson

Narrado por: Vanity C. Dawson

This book is for anyone who has endured trauma, specifically childhood, sexual and physical abuse. Trauma comes in all sorts and impacts our way of thinking and how we live our lives. It is defined differently from each person’s unique perspective. What may be traumatic to one, may not be to another. It usually isn’t displayed in one form, but can display itself in many forms at once. For instance, one who may endure domestic violence, may also experience verbal and psychological abuse.

It is very unfortunate for anyone to endure any type of trauma, but there is beauty that can be found through it. You’re probably like, What?!" How can there be beauty in a traumatic experience? Oh, there certainly is, and I can tell you first-hand how from my experience.

God brings us true healing from the after-effect of our trauma. Trauma impairs our thought process, our relationships with other people and ourselves, and how we behave. However, God repairs and restores us back to how he purposed us. He repairs us in ways better than before we experienced trauma. He takes what was meant to hurt us, set us back, or destroy us and turns it into a beautiful story. He turns it into an experience that we have overcame and can help the people around us that are experiencing the same or similar things.

Our traumatic experiences aren’t for us to harbor, but to share hope and faith with the people around us that they, too, can make it through. With God, you will make it through any storm, trauma, or bad experience. Just hold onto faith in him, and trust his process.
