We also talk about patterns in dating that may be keeping you in unsuccessful relationships and uncover the basics of codependency. We also discuss the connection between sex and intimacy and how to approach both in a way that can lead to a fulfilling, long-lasting marriage

You hear me talking about Mending The Soul all the time, but hearing all about it from the very founder of the ministry a treat. We have Dr Steven Tracy on the show for the third time, talking about more resources, more stories about changed lives in Africa, and his new book in progress. You will hear all about the new curriculum created by Native American peoples, for Native American peoples that bring hope and healing from severe trauma.

Shame, powerlessness, and isolation are all effects of abuse, whether the mistreatment began in childhood or at a later point in our lives. Healing from trauma involves safely confronting the pain we carry to ultimately achieve freedom. Steve and Celestia Tracy of Mending the Soul discusses powerful ways survivors can overcome the spiritual, emotional, and physical effects of abuse, defeat shame, and experience a life full of peace and empowerment.

Brenda J and Karen Wonder interview Steven Tracy, co-founder and co-author of Mending the Soul. Mending the Soul is a healing from abuse resource that meets in small groups and discusses six different types of abuse. We dive into a deep discussion with Steven and get his expert opinion.
