#11. Numb

In our last minisode we talked about trauma.  I have shared about my calling to become a missionary; my obedience in saying yes, I will go; the unmet realistic and unrealistic expectations I experienced; and the emotional abuse I experienced through it all.  Now we’re going to talk about the next part...the result...what happens when you live in an unhealthy situation for almost three years.

Today’s episode is actually going to sound a little different than our usual mini-episode format; you’re not just going to hear from me but also from Brooke.  She brings a valuable perspective to this part of my story, being on the outside looking in, the one who had to watch her loved one fight through a painful season.

Here are some resources for those who are braving a tough season, whether it be through trauma, depression, anxiety, or something else.  Help is available:

Missionary Training International - The Debriefing and Renewal (DAR) program is life-changing, and so helpful for those leaving the mission field or ministry.
