Episode 207 - Curt Thompson
When trauma enters our lives, it can be difficult to imagine a life beyond the pain and brokenness that we see. Many of us turn to the coping mechanisms we have learned over the years in hopes of finding relief from the hurt.
Yet often, we can find ourselves abandoning the one thing that can help put the broken pieces back together: connection.
In this episode, Davey sits down with Dr. Curt Thompson, author and psychiatrist, to discuss what healing looks like in the context of community and how hope can be found as we connect with one another in the midst of our painful stories.
“Our trauma and our losses that we have not healed well from leave us with coping strategies that make it difficult for us to imagine that life can be any other way than it is. Our role as believers is to help expand people’s imaginations.”
