PTSD / Trauma

Grounding the heart and body in the steadfast care of Christ.

Scripture Focus

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. (Isaiah 26:3)

Overview

Trauma imprints the body with alarm. The Lord meets us with stabilising grace—truth to steady the mind, practices to soothe the body, and fellowship to bear burdens.

Pastoral Guidance

• Practise brief grounding (breath, five senses) while rehearsing a promise.
• Keep a gentle pace; avoid avoidance—small steps with support.
• Seek safeguarding and pastoral care; God’s people help carry the load.
