This is part three of our conversation regarding trauma’s impact on the whole individual. Today we focus on the spiritual implications of trauma. Dr. Alaine gives suggestions on how to recognize and untangle from satan’s counterfeits as he tries to derail our healing.

Dr. Alaine and Lindy continue their discussion on the all-encompassing impact of severe trauma. This time focusing on the mind and soul. We learn how the Lord resolves our past and through His Spirit moves us from a distorted identity and inner chaos to a life lived in truth and peace.

Complex trauma impacts the brain and the body, often for a lifetime. Don't leave this important truth out of your healing model. As counselors, we should not view physical concerns as isolated or irrelevant in our ministry to our clients. 

It is not uncommon for your clients to speak of the presence of "Jesus" within their system. How do you know if it is the real Jesus Christ or a demonic deception?
