Every day we hear of a crisis or traumatic event that cripples the lives of people around us. According to National Association for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, 60% of men and 50% of women will experience and suffer a horrific event in their lives. Stress disorders are the most common mental health illness affecting nearly 40 million Americans annually. It’s also estimated that over seven million adults suffer with PTSD alone in any given year.
And sadly, this number includes 500,000 American veterans. Did you know that suicides among the armed forces returning form Iraq and Afghanistan are at an all-time high… and two-out-of-three military marriages are failing?
Yet we also know that during times of hardship, people are most open to change. The great paradox is that during “these times” God is not the author of evil and such horror, but He is our loving redeemer. He uses these events and times of brokenness to reveal Himself… to let us know that His grace is always available and sufficient. And in those times, God uses people who care to share His message of hope.
As a Life Coach my training is in stress and trauma care. I have been certified both in CISM (immediate short term care) and coaching (long term care). It is my sincere desire to facilitate healing through Christ for those who have endured some of the most difficult trials of life.
My heart goes out to those who have experienced:
- Domestic Abuse
- Sexual Assault
- Victim or Witness of Violence
- Car Accidents
- Kidnapping
- Tornado/Hurricane/Flooding
- House Fire
- Acts of Terrorism
