Fact Check Friday: Trauma Edition

Hello Bright Souls! In today’s Fact Check Friday: Trauma Edition, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood truths about childhood trauma — how it affects the body long after the moment has passed. This episode blends faith, science, and lived experience to help you understand what’s really happening inside you and why your healing matters.

I’ll share parts of my own journey, the physical responses my body carried from childhood trauma, and the powerful ways God began revealing what needed to be healed. Together, we’ll explore how trauma imprints itself on the nervous system, and how you can begin reclaiming peace, safety, and ownership of your healing.

This episode includes: • Clear, research‑based insight on how trauma impacts the brain, nervous system, and stress response • A faith-centered perspective on healing the body and renewing the mind • Scriptural encouragement from Joshua 1:9, Ephesians 6:12, and John 8:36 • Practical tools — journaling, prayer, grounding, and therapy — to support your healing journey • A reminder that you are not broken; your body has been protecting you, and God is ready to restore you

This conversation is for you, Bright Soul, if you’ve ever wondered why you feel anxious, tense, hypervigilant, or exhausted — even years after the trauma. You’ll walk away informed, empowered, and reminded that God cares about your whole being: body, mind, and spirit.

Enjoy! From Beverly
