That’s what Peter realized as he began to move into his adult life. That the emotional and physical abuse from his dad and mom was not normal.

Dr. Peter Newhouse CEO of Winning At Home joins the podcast to share his journey from trauma to healing and to bring hope for healing to you!

The trauma made Peter really angry, but he shares about the first steps he took toward healing. He also shares the three phases of recovering from trauma: bondage, change, and freedom.

A Perry and Shawna listener shares with Peter, “Last year I shared some painful memories with my mom of her physically abusing me as a child. Mom had turned her life around and was not that person anymore. A few days after I shared that, mom died.

I have such deep regret that I ever shared that with her. I can barely breath when I think about it.” Peter offers some hope.

Last, healing from trauma is not a quick fix. There’s not a silver bullet that makes everything better overnight. It’s a journey, sometimes springing forward, sometimes setbacks.  But there is hope! Check out Peter’s new book, Healing Through Trauma.
