- Dr. Elizabeth Stevens was a high-achieving psychiatrist in the U.S. Air Force. Her work came to an abrupt halt when she was debilitated by a traumatic brain injury and a series of other traumatic events which caused PTSD. In this conversation, Dr. Stevens offers hope to those who are bound by the pain of trauma and describes how spiritual healing was the turning point in her recovery.

I'm still trying to heal from a traumatic situation. I lost a husband two weeks ago due to cancer . I'm struggling from his loss and I feel all alone when he died

Please pray for my children and me.
Depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disorder. Husband left, family doesn’t want to talk to us.
No access to a Cristian therapist.
May The Lord heal us, He is able.🙏
Hello, Maru. We were sorry to hear about the difficulties your family is facing. We have read through the petitions you shared with us concerning you and your children, and want you to know that our staff has brought them before the Lord during our time of devotions. We trust He will prove His faithfulness in these and in the many other situations where His intervention is so clearly needed.
For further help, we have counselors here at Focus who are available to talk with callers by phone to offer encouragement and guidance (at no cost). If you would like to speak with a caring individual, we invite you to call us at 1-855-771-HELP (4357) weekdays between 6:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. (MT). The Family Help Center staff member who answers the phone will arrange for a counselor to call you back. One of them will be in touch just as soon as they're able. May God lead you to the help you’re seeking.
I am praying for you. I've been there and got through it myself w prayer and a very few friends help.❤
I feel all this and resognate..battle ptsd mostly with my parents and have healed mostly now from negative old friends, bosses, etc
This teaching is so needed in these days! I was 50 when the straw that broke the camel's back (through my church!) was placed on me and "suddenly" I had PTSD. Truly it had taken a lifetime of rapes, beatings, and other traumas that I had somehow managed to sort out and live through, finally adding up and demanding the attention that I had previously refused to give to them. It seems to be taking forever to heal, and no one (other than my paid female Christian therapist) understands.
I am sorry that it was the church that caused you to feel that way. Sometimes, people in the church are in church for their own healing as well. A lot of people are traumatized and have not dealt with their own issues. They think that going to church can heal them. Until something happens. I am glad that you are doing your therapy. We all need to heal. I do wish you well in your healing journey. Blessings!
🔥🙏❤️🩹❤️
I understand, I've spent years in Christian counseling for the same, one thing I learned bout church, be careful whom you allow in your heart and share your feelings with, make sure it's someone capable of empathy..
Thanks for your personal testimony Dr Elizabeth S. I can certainly relate to your story. God bless you on your journey of healing..
What a lovely gentle genuine man comparing this show
What about people who received PTSD in childhood?
Thank you for your testimony. ❤️ It helps knowing I am not alone in my experience and feelings. And you showed me the way out. ❤️❤️❤️🙏
This was very encouraging. Thank you for having Dr. Stevens on your podcast.
Thank you Elizabeth. Your story really blessed me
Great book. I just ordered a second copy to give to a friend.
I lost my husband 6 years ago, loosing my best friend, my lifestyle and my life.
I’m saying this to say yes, losing the man you love hurts and is very lonely. Try not to be alone but find some friends. People will understand and love you.
Very sorry for your loss. As much as it hurts, remember that some of us have never shared a bed with a spouse, eternal singleness and loneliness. Hold on to your precious memories and be thankful
Also have a TBI from PTSD, still healing.
I would live to hear a perspective on healing trauma in the body from a Biblical perspective. Our bodies hold onto stuff and then we get syndromes like chronic fatigue, headaches digestive problems fibromyalgia I find lots of stuff about it but there’s too much eastern mysticism and stuff that’s not biblical. . .
I am seeking this too.
Yes please FOTF :)
Blessing for if this wonderful job to the all entire world 🌎 ❤🙏🏼
I was hoping to hear more about the physical dimensions of trauma.
Amen. So similar to my own story.
I have a trauma too, i can't really pen it down but i would have enxiety even if I'm driving,even if I'm washing dishes. I pray about it but it's difficult for me.
Dr.Stevens, as a psychiatrist, did you temporarily take medication to help with your mental state? If not how did you know you didn’t need it?
I lost my son and his girlfriend in a very traumatic way. I’m wondering how I can get this book and any other resources you may have. I do go to grief share and counseling. I do not have a Christian therapist because my insurance will not cover it.
We’re so sorry for your loss, Honour, and our hearts go out to you. Please know that we’ll be praying for you, asking the Lord to faithfully provide His solace, peace, and an awareness of His abiding grace as you trust Him day by day. In answer to your question, to receive the book by Dr. Stevens please email us at help@focuontefamily.com and include your full name and complete mailing address along with the title of the book. In addition, we encourage you to check out these links: bit.ly/3hb5hpF and bit.ly/3UhYr0o. That said, if you ever need a listening ear, please feel free to call us at 1-800-A-FAMILY. May God bless you, and may He be the strength of your heart and your refuge.
Could we please have closed captions as I'm finding it difficult to listen
🙏
🎉❤thank you for sharing. How does one handle spiritual principles of faith, confession of Jesus finished work and being authentic, valnurable talking about pain, trauma responses. What do the scriptures say. How do we talk about emotions, behavuours, that may be seen as wrong such as anger, greed(eating binge)
Really sorry
Trauma: Experiencing some influence you're not ready for and which doesn't simply make sense or is disagreeable in actual fact.
Huge case Deanna souders
Yes_
Once saved always saved you already have it. Now
Wow! Easy for you to say. You absolutely do Not get it!
I am a Christian and have suffered for 20 years with this neurological/nervous system disorder. Try having PTSD from childhood abuse, then repeated trauma thru adult years. We have to fight for our sanity, fight to be stable and sane. High suicide rate for us as well as high rates of addiction. No picnic. As a strong person of faith I know I would not be alive w/out Jesus.
This is not an issue of salvation. This is an issue of redemption of the trauma and healing while on this earth. The pain can be very tangible and even blinding and you can still be saved- they are 2 greatly different things.
