Spirituality can be a huge factor in the forming of resilience in healing from childhood trauma. Yet, it can also be a hinderance, especially if the trauma is a form of spiritual abuse. As I look at my own life, finding love, healing, and redemption from my trauma, which took many different forms, the aspect of spirituality is probably the most important.
Having written previously about the importance of practicing gratitude, I also need to stress the importance of meditation and prayer. If this is difficult for you to do for yourself or your child, I urge you to find a professional who can walk with you through your spiritual battles and spiritual victories. Putting them on paper is helpful also because you can look back and see your growth on paper.
Over the years I have been happy, sad, and even very angry with God. But as I navigate through my spiritual journey, each experience I have that I can look back and reflect on brings me a feeling of peace and comfort knowing that I am not alone in this road called life.
