This episode is about the dark night of the soul or the valley of the shadow of death that we enter into when we take a stand. Healing trauma can bring about many good things BUT the process is often grueling and full of dark emotional turmoil. Is that a sign for us to stop, Retreat, and go back to our normal life? NO! Unfortunately too often we can get stuck in this valley, overwhelmed with depression and fear, and end up giving up. In this episode i give you a glimpse into my own life right now and how i have had to fight in this valley to rise to the mountain tops. I pray this episode is a help an encouragement to anyone who is struggling.Traveler (2019) by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bePatron…)
