Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
Hello, welcome to the podcast of health and healing in the areas of addiction and abuse, with Michael. My passion and interest started with becoming aware that many of us have childhood traumas that we carry into our adult lives, but we didn't have them addressed or never acknowledged that we had an addiction or a mental illness. Some of the abuses, we suffered were slight or verbal that we just wrote off, other abuses were kept in secret for many years. Now we want to expose those lie-based beliefs, through tools and partnering with the Holy Spirit to help us heal those traumas and Illnesses to become whole. Hurt people hurt people, so we must seek ways to heal so that we can assist others in their healing processes. Disclaimer: * I am not a doctor or professional therapist. However, I am licensed and an ordained Minister, who's interest was piqued as it related to my personal journey and struggles with addictions and abuses that found their way into every aspect of my life unknowingly. God knows I'm a work in progress. Come along as we heal together.
Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
It's Christ that matters
Seek you first the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you. Americans awoke to the aftershocks of an electoral earthquake.
Democrats’ electoral coalition finally fractured, costing them the popular vote for only the second time since 1988.
- Democrats have lost more than 2 million registered voters since 2020
- Republicans have gained about 2.4 million in the same stretch
- That is a 4.5 million voter swing toward the GOP
- For the first time since 2018, more new voters are registering Republican than Democrat
- Analysts call it the biggest rightward shift since Ronald Reagan in 1980
The reasons are obvious. Democrats turned inward, chasing fringe cultural fights and catering to unions and activist groups instead of addressing the basics: jobs, inflation, safety, and the border. The very voters who built their coalition are walking away, abandoned by a party that focuses more on making sure kids get ruinous “gender care” than fighting crime.
In recent years, many Republican officials have veered away from traditional conservative principles and toward unwavering loyalty to power — often personified by former President — and the interests of wealthy donors. Analysts note that GOP leaders have essentially “abandoned their principles in support of an immoral and dangerous president”
Since we Christians fall in that broad category called the people, we are responsible before God for what this government does. It matters not where you stand politically; everyone has a vote and a voice. As traumatic as this may seem and the trail of pain it leaves behind, more importantly, the roads yet traveled—our responsibility is a "moral" one. Not just for one race of people or those claiming supremacy.
America, are we better than this? To answer that question, "NO!" political violence is the very fabric of America—we are traumatized by violence, hate, division, and killings daily.
Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral physical and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. It is okay to ask for help.
