@drleewarren: The goal of healing isn’t to erase what happened to you. It’s to let your mind take authority over your brain’s memory of it, until the wound stops being your identity and becomes instead a place you can help someone else from. Neuroscience nugget: What researchers call post-traumatic growth is measurable. People who process pain with meaning-making, rather than avoidance, show changes in how the brain encodes the memory, moving it from raw threat into integrated narrative. Self-Brain Surgery Procedure: Ask yourself: “Who is one person I could help because of what I went through?” Write their name or their situation down. Let your wound start pointing forward instead of just backward. Scripture: “He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” 2 Corinthians 1:4, NIV This is self-brain surgery. Hard and holy work. Follow me to connect neuroscience and scripture every day. Save this to help when you need to heal. Share it with a friend who's hurting.

@user502969978 :

I’m sorry for your incredible loss. I think what you are saying is true. I did not appropriately process a family tragedy that happened 40 years ago. I still avoid it because the pain of 40 years ago can reappear in a moment. 💔

Shelly Reese :

Coming across your page has been a real blessing for me. I lost my 19-year old daughter, Charlotte, on March 1, 2023

Workoutwife :

Sometimes we just don’t know. I had a horrible situation leaving my now ex many years ago. My teenage son told me many years later that I taught him how to stand up and speak up and protect himself. It was a wow moment in my life never understanding why I had that happen in my life. It helped me heal. 💕

Lily :

I so wish I understood this truth 20 years ago instead of how I lived inside my trauma for years, not quite knowing how to walk through it! Thank you!! God’s Word was right in front of me the whole time, but I let other verses fill the foreground, thinking there was more to the situation for me & my husband. I praise and thank God for finding you! Thank you
