For many of us who have survived childhood trauma—whether emotional, physical, verbal, or sexual abuse—the weight of the past can feel overwhelming and impossible to shake. The pain runs deep, shaping the way we see ourselves, the world, and even God.

Most recovery approaches treat only one layer.
