Power Back Here
Power Back Here is a gently Christ‑centered, trauma‑informed podcast for survivors and couples healing from abusive and high‑control relationships, including harmful therapeutic, religious, spiritual and cult experiences. This is not “in your face” Christianity or clinical diagnosis language. Instead, each episode weaves nervous‑system science, honest spiritual experience, and the CASCADE framework to help you come back into your body and the present, receive Christ’s love without shame or fear, and reclaim your power to choose love—in your relationship with God, with yourself, and in the real‑life relationships and marriages you’re building now.
