@heartathome (About what you wrote to @MissGremlin in the toolshed thread. "Going through my poems has brought up some old feelings. I'm okay! Thankfully talking to my psych is helping me to understand it. 💜")
Memory recall in my life was very burdensome and often even more traumatic than the original event. It was not until i learned to read the Bible as a personal address from God to my heart that Jesus was finally able to teach me to understand how He deals with past trauma events and what this recall of trauma is all about.
There is much i could share with you about that, for Jesus has been teaching me for near 10 years now how best deal with trauma memories. For The Word of God explained to me how to place ALL my
bothersome/trauma memories into His hand, and let His loving truth set me free from the hurt, while judging the wrong forced upon me out of my life. Wherever i have hurt the wicked/wrong, Jesus comes and delivers me. Such a process is true liberation and will return Joy for every tear shed in The End!
So my own journey about that in a nutshell was about letting The Living Word, that is Faith in Jesus speak God's Word in love for God, myself, also when stuck in wrong, and my neighbour, also when fallen, direct me inside my divided inner feeling world/dwelling place.
And so i uncovered the wicked hiding in me suppressing the wrongs done to me. (Romans 1:18) For Jesus/The Truth coming Alive inside of me raised me up in both my good and in bad life! And so through my (awakened selves) memories Jesus did away with the trauma of the memory and healed me - time and again! (Daniel 12:1-3) And so in His forgiving love and mercy i found complete Peace and Rest from past (trauma) events, by stopping the suppressing of anything bad living in me, so that the good which had died in me, because of the wrongs done to me, could be raised to newness of life by Jesus/The Truth of God's love Alive in me because of faith in Jesus. (Hebrews 4:7-13)
This is an often difficult, but yet awesome process. A process you could go through with Jesus, even along side a secular counselor. For spiritually God's word is an unbelievably effective trauma healing psychology, i found out to be true.
Taking ourselves in our (trauma) memories to Jesus is a process that delivers true healing and restoration of the good life lost in us along The Way.
For the wrath of God is not against people who have fallen, (1 John 2:1-2) but against the wickedness doing the tormenting and deposing off us in good life, within.
Peace.
