Paulette Swiger
My husband, Mark, and I have been in ministry since 1977. We pastored in several small churches, taught in a Bible school and then to the mission field. We spent ten years doing 52 city-wide crusades in India. After several unfortunate circumstances the stress became overwhelming and my health suffered. Eventually, I had an annual exam that resulted in a cervical biopsy. That process triggered full blown PTSD from my own unresolved childhood traumas. At the age of 6, I was sexually assaulted by babysitters, as well as being molested by an immediate family member. I thought I had dealt with these things long ago. I sought help from a spirit-filled psychotherapist. God met me in such a powerful way and I was miraculously healed. I went back to school and got my doctorate in Christian counseling. I have a passion to see people set free from trauma, PTSD, and sexual abuse so they know their identity in Christ and they can each fulfill their own unique destiny.
