Join us on the SoulSense Podcast as we sit down with Caroline Watson-Kobylinski, a Licensed Professional Counselor and trauma specialist, to explore the profound intersection of faith, attachment theory, and the science of trauma healing. Caroline shares her personal journey from church hurt and trauma to becoming a compassionate healer who helps others find freedom and wholeness.

In this powerful conversation, Caroline opens up about her own struggles with bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and church-related trauma that derailed her faith for a decade. She discusses how God redeemed her story and led her to specialize in trauma therapy, particularly focusing on attachment theory and the neuroscience of trauma.

Key topics covered:

-Understanding attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized)

-The biology of trauma and how it's stored in our bodies-Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses explained-EMDR and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) as powerful healing modalities

-The connection between emotional trauma and physical symptoms

-How biblical principles align with trauma recovery

-The importance of finding trauma-trained therapists

Caroline emphasizes that healing is possible through the unconditional love of Christ and evidence-based therapeutic approaches that honor how God designed our brains and bodies.
