Surviving the Echo of Self-Blame After Trauma with Emma (Part 1)
Description
In this episode, my guest Emma shares how as a teenager, she found herself in a vulnerable situation that ended in a horrific experience of date rape. The aftermath was heavy and too much for anyone to carry alone. And yet who would believe her? Confusion, shame, and a deep sense of abandonment settled in, especially as Emma wrestled with painful questions about God’s presence and care.
Emma shares the loneliness of wondering where God was in her suffering, and the struggle of believing she was being punished for lying to her parents about going on that date. This conversation offers an unflinching look at what fear, secrets, and powerlessness can do to a soul.
But God. Join me again next week as Emma shares how God met her in that dark season, offering her a path forward and a new identity.
