Although trauma is all around us, shaping the way we feel, think, relate, parent and work, it is poorly understood in our culture. This is even more evident in our communities of faith.
What is the role of our faith and spirituality in both the prevention and healing of our trauma? And what happens to our spiritual lives when our communities of faith are the ones that cause our trauma?
In this evening presentation, Hillary McBride, MA, RCC, PhD cand., will answer these questions and create a space for dialogue about the intersection of what shapes us most—our beliefs, our communities and our wounds.
This seminar will include the most current research evidence from the fields of neuroscience, developmental psychology, and philosophy presented in an engaging and informative manner to help educate and inspire us about how to love ourselves and others better, creating safer communities, conversations and relationships for healing to occur.
