Dealing With Family Traumas

Dealing With Family Traumas

Family trauma can cause deep hurts and emotional wounds which can lead to bitterness and resentments. If these are not dealt with quickly,  they can lead to a pattern of behaviour which can become a stronghold that imprisons the individual.

Dealing With Family Traumas

Accept the fact that what happened has happened. It is gone!

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old  things passed away; behold, new things have come.”- 2 Corinthians 5:17  (NASB)

Learn to forgive and love

“For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”-Matthew 6:14 (NASB)

...love your enemies, do good...

...love your enemies, do good...

“But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who  hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”-  Luke 6:27,28 (NASB)

Learn to forgive and love
Accepting who you are in Christ

Accepting who you are in Christ

“How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.
Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before him covered with his love. 
His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he  wanted to!”- Ephesians 1:3-5 (TLB)

Think and Focus on what is True and Holy

“And now, brothers, as I close this letter, let me say this one more thing: Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about.”-  Philippians 4:8 (TLB)

Reach out. Anytime.

Family trauma can lead to unhealthy assumptions about family and total rejection of family life. Most young adults  and even older adults  today live in unhealthy relationships because of lack of trust in true  family relationship
