Hidden Wounds: How Sexual Trauma Shapes Intimacy and Faith She sat alone in a dark church parking lot, desperate to speak but unsure where to begin. Her marriage was loving — so why did she feel frozen, broken, and afraid? Sexual trauma doesn't stay in the past. It follows survivors into their most intimate moments, distorting the very things God designed to be beautiful. In Hidden Wounds, registered clinical counselor Jasmin Stankovic unpacks the hidden shame, misplaced guilt, and spiritual confusion that so many survivors carry silently. If you've ever felt damaged, unworthy, or beyond healing — this conversation is for you. There is a path forward.

Some weeks don't just test your business. They reveal something about your heart. This week did that for me.In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I open up about a moment that surfaced something I thought I had already healed. It raised a question I wasn't expecting.One that many entrepreneurs quietly carry but rarely say out loud.Why do so many leaders still feel restless… even when things appear to be working?Not failing.Not stuck.Just… unsettled.This conversation doesn't start with business strategy.It starts with a question most high-achieving entrepreneurs never stop long enough to ask themselves.Because sometimes the things we build our lives around look like success on the outside… But tell a very different story on the inside. And sometimes a difficult week reveals more than we were prepared to see.If you're a Christian founder, CEO, or startup leader navigating the tension between growth, identity, and purpose, this episode may open a conversation you didn't know you needed to have. Some realizations don't just change how you lead.They change what you thought success was supposed to give you.The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned. Whether it's your structure, your clarity, or your capacity, this show helps you identify what's off and what to focus on next.Hosted by Edna Harding, author of "The Ugly Side of Sales 2.0" and founder of Favor & Wealth, a business growth strategy firm that helps leaders scale with clarity, structure, and biblical alignment.

Wes Craven didn't invent the idea of dying in your sleep during a nightmare — he read about it in the newspaper. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, dozens of young Hmong refugees in America went to sleep and never woke up, and nobody could explain why. The CDC investigated. Doctors were baffled. And the victims themselves had seen it coming — they were afraid to sleep. The real nightmare came first. Freddy Krueger came second.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Children dying in their sleep while having terrible nightmares. It's not just a movie plot from a Wes Craven film – it really happened, and inspired the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. (The Terrifying True Syndrome That Inspired A Nightmare on Elm Street) *** We're used to seeing someone on television or in movies die from a gunshot or stabbing, knowing they were just pretending – that the gun was using blanks, or the knife was using a retractable blade. But what we don't often hear are the times that those prop weapons end up killing someone for real. (Death By Movie Prop) *** How can a little girl disappear in a big crowd of people with no one seeing anything? Was it a case of stranger danger or did someone she know betray her trust? We'll look at the case of Beverly Rose Potts who went missing in 1951, never to be seen again. (Peril in the Park for Beverly Potts) *** Part medicine, part honey, part cannibalism… who or what was the mellified man? (The Mellified Man) *** They say that tragedy can change a person forever… and that couldn't be more true for one man who went from being considered lucky, to becoming deranged after a horrible accident, (The Hidden Wounds of Mr. Schultz) *** Famous last words. Humphrey Bogart said, “I should have never switched from Scotch to martinis.” Winston Churchill's last words were simply, “I'm bored with it all.” But sometimes what a person says on their deathbed can be shocking or outlandish – even if they aren't a celebrity. We'll look at a few unexpected deathbed moments.

Let us know what you think of the show and what we can do better! The biggest military homecoming videos end with hugs and banners, but a lot of families know the harder chapter starts after the uniforms are folded and the photos stop. We sit down with Cathy Turner and Jackie Voytak, founders of the Restored Heart Collective, to talk about what reintegration really looks like when the spouse is quietly carrying anxiety, loneliness, and the constant pressure to keep everything functioning. We trace both of their paths through military life: learning the culture as an outsider, navigating officer spouse expectations, dealing with unspoken rank boundaries, and the slow drift of putting your own needs last while trying to “support” a partner through PTSD and post-deployment stress. Then we dig into what actually helped, from intimate retreat spaces to nervous system practices like breathwork, meditation, journaling, yoga, sauna, and cold plunge. The point isn't trends or buzzwords, it's reclaiming stability and identity so the whole household can breathe again. You'll also hear how they turned one powerful retreat experience into a spouse-only 501(c)(3), why they chose the name Restored Heart Collective (inspired by kintsugi), and how their model builds community before and after a weekend retreat with structured Zoom calls and year-long follow-up. If you care about military spouse mental health, family readiness, and real-world healing support, this conversation offers a clear blueprint for what's been missing. Subscribe for more Stories of Service, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review telling us what kind of support military spouses should have had all along.Support the showVisit my website: https://thehello.llc/THERESACARPENTERRead my writings on my blog: https://www.theresatapestries.com/Listen to other episodes on my podcast: https://storiesofservice.buzzsprout.comWatch episodes of my podcast:https://www.youtube.com/c/TheresaCarpenter76

HIDDEN WOUNDS

Today's episode delivers an honest and deeply grounded conversation about recovery, trauma, and long-term healing. Eric is joined by Arlina Allen, recovery coach, author, and podcast host, who shares her story of getting sober at 25 after years of childhood sexual abuse, family dysfunction, and emotional pain that shaped her relationship with alcohol, identity, and self-worth. Arlina opens up about how early trauma and parental divorce created a deep sense of shame, powerlessness, and self-blame—patterns that later fueled addiction and destructive coping. She explains how trauma impacts the nervous system, why reactions are often “historical” rather than situational, and how unresolved pain shows up in relationships, anger, anxiety, and perfectionism. With more than three decades of sobriety, Arlina reflects on the practices that supported her healing, including self-inventory, gratitude, mindfulness, and redefining her understanding of God in a way that felt safe, compassionate, and accessible. She also breaks down common misconceptions about 12-step recovery, the difference between meetings and the program, and why long-term sobriety requires ongoing spiritual and emotional maintenance. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to heal from trauma, release shame-based beliefs, and build a life rooted in honesty, service, and personal responsibility.

In this heartfelt and humorous episode of AgingGayfully®, Chris and Josh dive into one of the most pressing issues facing older adults today: loneliness. From near cardiac scares to surprise mixologist recommendations, they explore how aging bodies and changing social landscapes can quietly isolate us...and what we can do about it. With personal stories, laughter, and a few unexpected confessions (yes, colorblindness and condo paint are involved), they unpack research showing how social isolation increases risks of dementia, heart disease, and even early death—comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. If you're feeling a little adrift, or just wondering how to reconnect with purpose, this episode will offer comfort, insights, and probably a hug (eventually). Tune in to explore vulnerability, affection, introversion, and the healing power of being understood.

In this deeply insightful episode of Somatic Movement & Mindset, Heidi Hadley speaks with trauma-informed practitioner, Clinical Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and Supervisor Debra Battersby about the often-overlooked topic of emotional invalidation—how it shapes our nervous system, identity, and capacity for authentic connection.Together, Heidi and Debra explore why even well-intentioned people invalidate emotions, how this impacts the body's stress response, and what healing looks like when we start to reclaim our emotional truth.Listeners will discover:

In today's episode, I'm talking about the hidden wounds behind the Four Horsemen of Communication. I really want to peel back the layers further and look at the wounds beneath the behaviors. Stonewalling (my personal default + the one for many of you as well) is often the body's cry for safety. Our nervous system is overwhelmed and shutting down because we just can't take any more.These patterns once helped you survive, but they don't have to run the show anymore. When you're ready to explore what healing looks like in your life, I'd love to walk with you through it!In this episode, I cover:Why the four horsemen often stem from deeper emotional woundsHow criticism seeks safety through control or perfection when love once felt performance-basedHow contempt masks deep hurt or shameWhy defensiveness is a fear response rooted in not feeling safe to be wrong or misunderstoodWhy stonewalling is the body's “shutdown” mode when emotions or conflict feel unsafeRealizing that these patterns once protected you, but won't allow you to truly healMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/hidden-woundsConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Schedule a free 30-minute consult callJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting

As the nation mourns the lives lost in the El-Wak Stadium incident, this devotion offers comfort, prayer, and reflection pointing every grieving heart to the God who sees, heals, and restores

Today we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes to explore one of the most salient topics in psychology today: trauma. We begin by tracing its developmental roots with Dr. Lindsay Gibson and Dr. Bessel van Der Kolk, before looking at how it can be passed down through family systems with Dr. Mariel Buqué, associate somatic therapist Elizabeth Ferreira, and author Stephanie Foo. Dr. Jacob Ham and Dr. Peter Levine then share new perspectives on healing, emphasizing the importance of getting out of the head and into the body. Finally, Dr. Gabor Maté discusses the cultural context of trauma, arguing that it's a symptom of a toxic culture.

In this raw and redemptive episode of Politely Rude, host Abby Johnson sits down with author and journalist Jon Seidl for one of his most vulnerable interviews yet.Jon opens up about his spiral from professional success to private struggle — the slow fade from faith-filled journalist to a Christian battling addiction. He shares how trauma, burnout, and unmet expectations led him to numb his pain with alcohol, and how God met him in the mess to rebuild his life piece by piece.Together, Abby and Jon talk honestly about the Church's silence around mental health and addiction, why Christians aren't immune to collapse, and what true healing looks like when you finally stop running from yourself. Jon also discusses his new devotional, The Veritas Daily, and his latest book, Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic — a bold exploration of grace, repentance, and rebuilding faith after failure.This conversation is messy, honest, and ultimately hopeful — a reminder that no one is too far gone for God's redemption.FOLLOW ABBY ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Instagram- Facebook- Twitter

Tim Perdion was born in 1969 and relinquished for adoption at birth. Around two months later, he was adopted into a loving family in Ohio. Though surrounded by care and support, he carried a quiet ache beneath the surface—a longing to understand his identity and a sense of not fully belonging. These hidden wounds, rooted in adoption, shame, and early emotional neglect, followed him into adulthood. At 46, Tim reunited with both of his biological parents. While the experience offered long-awaited answers, it also opened the door to secondary rejection and a deeper unraveling of his story. This turning point led to a season of intense self-reflection, healing, and transformation—moving from a life driven by performance and self-protection into one anchored in vulnerability, purpose, and connection. Today, Tim is a senior leader in a private equity-backed professional services firm. Outside of work, he serves as a life coach, speaker, and mentor, walking alongside high-achieving men who look successful on the outside but feel lost or empty on the inside. He facilitates men's groups focused on accountability, emotional honesty, and growth—creating spaces where men can be fully seen, supported, and known. Tim's journey is a story of healing, hope, and rediscovery. He's passionate about helping others break generational cycles, find clarity in who they are, and live with greater intention, freedom, and wholeness.

In this raw and confronting conversation, I sit down with Jenna McClelland to explore the unspoken men's sexual trauma, the impact of circumcision, and the silent shame many carry deep in their bodies.We unpack the layers of suppressed emotion, disconnected sexual energy, and how societal silence has kept men numb, confused, and often angry without knowing why.This episode is a call to awareness, healing, and truth. We don't hold back because it's time we stopped pretending these wounds don't exist.

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 11 – “Betrayal by the Dollar: The Hidden Wounds of Financial Infidelity”In this raw and eye-opening episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley and co-host Raina Joy Butcher dive deep into one of the most overlooked yet devastating forms of betrayal in romantic relationships: financial infidelity. Continuing their powerful financial series, Episode 11 unpacks the hidden dynamics behind the misuse of money in intimate partnerships — not just as a resource, but as a tool of control, secrecy, and even revenge. With real-life stories, personal reflections, and clinical insight, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and guidance for those silently suffering in relationships where money is used as a weapon instead of a shared value.The episode begins by examining financial control and coercion — two insidious forms of financial infidelity that leave many partners emotionally paralyzed and psychologically trapped. Whether it's one partner dictating all financial decisions, withholding access to accounts, or using money to manipulate behaviors and choices, the hosts expose how financial power plays erode trust, dignity, and a sense of partnership. Many victims of this type of control feel emotionally blackmailed into staying, even when they desperately want to leave. Dr. Hensley and Raina highlight how the shame, fear, and isolation surrounding financial coercion often go unnoticed — yet the consequences are long-lasting and deeply damaging to a person's mental health and autonomy.The conversation then moves into secret spending, a subtler but equally destructive form of financial infidelity. From hidden credit cards to secret online purchases, the hosts unpack how these actions become betrayals of both financial trust and emotional intimacy. Often rooted in guilt, resentment, or unmet needs, secret spending fractures the foundation of honesty that secure relationships are built on. Listeners will hear why this behavior often creates a growing emotional gap — one that's harder to repair than many realize. Dr. Hensley offers a compassionate take on the underlying insecurities and attachment wounds that often drive this type of behavior, providing listeners with language to recognize and address it in their own relationships.The episode culminates in a candid and courageous discussion on revenge spending, the reactive, emotionally-charged use of money in the aftermath of a major relationship rupture.  Whether it's a response to a heated argument or triggered by a partner's request for separation or divorce, revenge spending becomes a way to assert power or express hurt. Dr. Hensley and Raina both open up about their childhood experiences with financial conflict — Sarah recalling the volatility of her father's financial behaviors, and Raina reflecting on how her mother's money choices strained her parents' marriage both during and excspecially post divorce. These powerful personal stories shed light on how early money dynamics shape our adult relationships and sense of self-worth. They also reflect on their own romantic relationships, sharing moments where money became a source of pain, confusion, and reflection.To close the episode, Dr. Hensley offers practical and preventative guidance for couples looking to protect their relationship from financial betrayal. She shares thoughtful, research-based strategies to establish financial transparency, healthy boundaries, and ongoing dialogue about money as a shared value rather than a hidden battlefield. With warmth and wisdom, this episode affirms that while financial infidelity can feel like an invisible rupture, healing is possible with honesty, accountability, and mutual respect. If you've ever felt like money was used against you instead of with you in a relationship — or if you're simply ready to build healthier financial habits with your partner — this episode is a must-listen.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

What a tragedy it would be to go through Teen Challenge and only leave sober. In this vulnerable, Spirit-breathed message, Pastor Alex Delgado pleads with this generation to stop hiding behind sobriety, gifts, and good behavior—and let God shine His healing light on the root. “We're asking for fruit—sobriety, a wife, finances—but God is after the root. Why are you going back? What's the pain behind the pattern?” “Let there be light was not God's first suggestion—it was His first command.” “God won't reveal what He's not ready to heal.” “Stop begging for sobriety—you're already sober. Start thanking God and let the light go deeper.” This is more than a message—it's a moment. Alex shares his own story of father wounds, buried grief, and the 35 years of unresolved pain that God unearthed when it was time for healing. “I never let the light shine on the bitterness in my heart. I used to shine it on my calling, my gifts—but never on my brokenness.” “Hurt people hurt people. And hurt people in ministry is a tragedy.” “Ministry is not about a microphone—it's about washing feet.” “Let the light do its full work. Don't stay dead at the altar—let God resurrect what's been lost.” This message also carries a tender prophetic word for women who've experienced abortion: “When you release your grip on guilt and shame, the tide of God's grace will wash it away. That baby has been made new—and so have you.” Alex challenges the listener to shift how they see submission, leadership, and spiritual authority. “You're not submitting to Teen Challenge—you're submitting to Jesus.” “You may not understand the process, but God is already doing something in the spiritual. Your body's just catching up.”

We don't look at the toll they take on the mind or the body." - Dr. Kathryn Zerbe "Secrets also make us very aware of where our boundary lies." - Dr. Kathryn Zerbe “ Transparency and sharing the content of a secret or information that might be private is not the point here.

Before Freddy Krueger haunted dreams on Elm Street, a real-life nightmare plagued Hmong refugees—young men mysteriously dying in their sleep, a terrifying phenomenon that remains unexplained to this day.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: Children dying in their sleep while having terrible nightmares. It's not just a movie plot from a Wes Craven film – it really happened, and inspired the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. (The Terrifying True Syndrome That Inspired A Nightmare on Elm Street) *** We're used to seeing someone on television or in movies die from a gunshot or stabbing, knowing they were just pretending – that the gun was using blanks, or the knife was using a retractable blade. But what we don't often hear are the times that those prop weapons end up killing someone for real. (Death By Movie Prop) *** How can a little girl disappear in a big crowd of people with no one seeing anything? Was it a case of stranger danger or did someone she know betray her trust? We'll look at the case of Beverly Rose Potts who went missing in 1951, never to be seen again. (Peril in the Park for Beverly Potts) *** Part medicine, part honey, part cannibalism… who or what was the mellified man? (The Mellified Man) *** They say that tragedy can change a person forever… and that couldn't be more true for one man who went from being considered lucky, to becoming deranged after a horrible accident, (The Hidden Wounds of Mr. Schultz) *** Famous last words. Humphrey Bogart said, “I should have never switched from Scotch to martinis.” Winston Churchill's last words were simply, “I'm bored with it all.” But sometimes what a person says on their deathbed can be shocking or outlandish – even if they aren't a celebrity. We'll look at a few unexpected deathbed moments.

But what we don't often hear are the times that those prop weapons end up killing someone for real. (Death By Movie Prop) *** How can a little girl disappear in a big crowd of people with no one seeing anything? Was it a case of stranger danger or did someone she know betray her trust? We'll look at the case of Beverly Rose Potts who went missing in 1951, never to be seen again. (Peril in the Park for Beverly Potts) *** Part medicine, part honey, part cannibalism… who or what was the mellified man? (The Mellified Man) *** They say that tragedy can change a person forever… and that couldn't be more true for one man who went from being considered lucky, to becoming deranged after a horrible accident, (The Hidden Wounds of Mr. Schultz) *** Famous last words. Humphrey Bogart said, “I should have never switched from Scotch to martinis.” Winston Churchill's last words were simply, “I'm bored with it all.” But sometimes what a person says on their deathbed can be shocking or outlandish – even if they aren't a celebrity. We'll look at a few unexpected deathbed moments. (Deathbed Moments) *** Children dying in their sleep while having terrible nightmares. It's not just a movie plot from a Wes Craven film – it really happened, and inspired the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.
