Living with PTSD and Trauma with author Kim Lengling

Living with PTSD and/or trauma is a DAILY walk. On this episode of The Thought Vault Podcast,  I had the privilege of speaking with author Kim Lengling about her journey of walking through life with PTSD and learning how to choose daily to battle the trauma that has been part of her journey.

With Christ, trauma and PTSD can be something that deepens your relationship with God and your understanding of Him.

While we can't always control what our circumstances are or why situations become part of our story, we CAN control how we live our lives afterwards. This journey is NOT easy, but there is hope in the brokenness that is sometimes woven into our stories on this side of Heaven.


It's okay to NOT be okay.

If there is one thing I've learned, it's that there is no rulebook for dealing with our lives in a uniform manner. We have to be okay with not being okay. The only comfort sometimes is knowing that God IS PRESENT, and He is understanding of all the hurt we may feel.

 We serve a relatable God. Unlike most other religions, we are invited into a personal relationship with our creator. We won't always have the answers we think we need, and that's a place for our relationship with God to provide.
When facing trauma, we may seek out the answer to the question of "why?" and it can be overwhelming and all encompassing. In this episode, we discuss this difficult aspect of trauma.

If you are walking through life with trauma and/or PTSD, this episode may offer some comfort.
