What is the difference between a tantrum and a meltdown? Children who have experienced neglect or trauma in their lives often tell us how they are feeling by the way they react to the stimuli around them - and the fallout can be intense. Jayne Schooler is an author who has penned eight books about child welfare. She discusses the meaning behind many behaviors in children and how any of the five senses can trigger an episode in kids and adults who have experienced traumatic events in their lives. Jayne also breaks down the damage that trauma can do to a child’s development. Traumatized children are highly focused on survival. Biologically, this can have a major long-term impact because, unless this trauma is resolved, it stays with them, she says. Importantly, Jayne touches on the God-given need for healthy attachment and how unhealthy attachment can lead to abuse.

TAKEAWAYS
Children who do not have a healthy attachment to a parental figure will seek that attachment out wherever they can find it
Unhealthy attachment can lead to abuse or exploitation of children, which leads to trauma
Trauma is the perception that your life is at risk, and toxic trauma chemicals can circulate through a child’s body even in utero
80 percent of kids who come from difficult homes have problems self-regulating their emotions

Jenny Leavitt’s youngest son, Jacob, was killed by a drunk driver ten years ago. This overwhelming, traumatic grief drove her to question everything she ever knew about God and the promises found in scripture. Today, Jenny is a mental health coach with Resilient Hope Ministries and the author of God Prints: A True Story - Finding Evidence of God in the Shattered Pieces of Life. Jenny discusses the real-life journey of surviving unthinkable loss and navigating the grief that comes with it. Even with a solid foundation in Christ, she says, deep loss and trauma can shake people’s faith. Ask God if you have questions and don’t be afraid to talk to Him. Job questioned the Lord, and the Lord answered him in his despair. God is a redeemer, and He can use even the darkest moments of our lives to reach others.

TAKEAWAYS
Sometimes, you just need to sit with someone in their grief and be there for them
Don’t isolate yourself when you are going through grief - isolation makes you vulnerable to the Devil’s attacks
You are not alone - many other people have experienced trauma; find trusted friends and reach out
Grief is not something that simply “goes away;” it is a long process of self-work and emotional challenges

PTSD can often surface decades after a traumatic event, which begs the question: why? Co-Founder and Executive Director of Sentinel Institute, Curtis Solomon, says it’s because people tend to bury trauma, and that trauma often rears its head in the silence of retirement or a break from work. Curtis is the executive director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. He’s seen plenty of PTSD in America’s warriors, and he has studied this particular disorder from a Biblical perspective for years. What are some examples of extreme trauma? Are we being exposed to trauma at higher rates than ever before because of our exposure to social media? Curtis defines the disorienting impact that trauma can have, and how it can radically upend every belief anyone has had previously.

TAKEAWAYS
Jesus went through the worst trauma any human can ever experience
No two people experience trauma the same way even if facing similar situations
Point people to Jesus and take your cares to Him
Because Jesus was human and He survived extreme trauma, He does understand what you’re going through

Trauma. It affects most of us, and yet, so few people have the tools to deal with trauma, tragedy, and the lasting effects of this kind of lifelong pain. Dr. Tim Murphy is a psychologist, a former member of Congress, and a U.S. Navy veteran. He is the author of The Christ Cure: 10 Biblical Ways to Heal From Trauma, Tragedy, and PTSD. He discusses the Apostle Paul and the very real traumas he experienced during his ministry on Earth. Tim also defines trauma, what causes it, and how it affects the brain. What does Jesus say about trauma and anxiety? “The best meditation is prayer,” Tim says. He also gives helpful advice on how to lean into true mental and emotional healing by embracing the teachings of Jesus. Jesus wants us to be fully restored and renewed and the teachings of Paul are invaluable for that healing to take place.

TAKEAWAYS
Exercising is a great antidote to anxiety and stress and people who have PTSD or severe trauma don’t often trust their own emotions
Sometimes, “your reaction to your reaction” can cause stress and trauma
Trauma affects us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and healing requires that we focus on the same four areas
Trauma is something that is a true threat to your life, and it can look a little different for everyone
