No part of us is unaffected by trauma. Our mind, our body, and our spirit - especially our ability to experience God as loving and good - are wounded when we face pain, abuse, and suffering. Yet, as spiritual leaders, we are often unaware of the ways trauma impacts the spiritual life - and how many of our well-intentioned responses can actually be hurtful for someone who has experienced trauma.

When Spirituality and Trauma Collide brings together her learnings and breaks them down into a simple field guide that will equip you to respond to trauma in spiritual formation settings without inflicting harm.
