Break 2

Forgiveness and healing from past trauma

Monica Hinderer joins Doug to discuss how past sexual trauma can show up in marriage.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Jenny - My cousin assaulted me and my mother was upset. I told her what happened and he was kicked out. I felt ashamed. (24:29)
Robert - My brother and I were molested by a neighbor but I was able to forgive him. From then on I lived a normal life. I kept it hidden for many years but was able to heal at a spiritual retreat. (33:51)
Maria - I had been through it as a child and in relationships I’ve been in the past. I’ve had to keep this person out of my life. I forgive him and pray for him. (39:02)
Jimmy - As a young child, my brother sexually abused me, but didn't know what was happening until years later. It affected my marriage and led to divorce. (44:32)
