Lazarus, Come Out: Hope After Trauma

Standard trauma treatment can help a client regulate and recover, so what does faith add? Fr. David Songy, PsyD, LP, offers a way to integrate a client's Catholic faith into any trauma treatment, building on sound assessment and on knowing when to refer to a trauma-specific program. Drawing on Catholic anthropology, he shows how to respond to thoughts like 'I am permanently damaged' or 'I am not lovable', how to understand forgiveness as something received from God, and how to distinguish post-traumatic growth and redemptive suffering from spiritualizing. You'll see how to work alongside spiritual directors and clergy as an ambassador of hope.
