Who Can Help Us Heal From Abuse?

Dan opens today’s episode with this principle:  “All harm
came in relationship; all healing equally requires a
relationship.”


If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ll understand that
healing from abuse is not something we do alone. We need the
presence and kindness of others to truly heal and flourish.


Yet, when we’ve been abused, it can feel so challenging to trust
again, especially when trauma leaves us feeling isolated and
hypervigilant.


In this episode, Dan and Rachael explore how finding supportive
friends, reconnecting with family (if you are able to), and
engaging in therapy can play an essential role as you move
towards healing.


More importantly, they talk about how to discern who is truly
safe, trustworthy, and supportive. They offer practical advice on
what to look for in those who walk alongside you and how to know
if they’re ready to support you.


We hope today’s conversation reveals the possibilities ahead and
helps you take those first steps toward building meaningful
relationships, inviting others into your healing journey.
