I also love that you constantly refer to Bible verses, namely from Elijah's ministry and the Psalms, to resonate not only with regular people but also those who are deeply devout to God.
And yes, I do believe experiencing something new, while touching on the previous one, is key to processing trauma and eventually getting over it. I think the biggest part here is presence. After all, it's the foundation of the connections you make with people. If you're not present, then how would you expect to connect in the present?
Thanks for the read, Ron, and I'll definitely keep this article in mind when I need it!
I've come to the point in life where I just try and tell myself a better story about what the trauma I experienced means and in that way let it go. I always loved the stories of Elijah and one of my grandsons is named after him
