“ We heal in layers”
Wow! Such an eye opener! Thank you very much !!!

[uofa]

It wasn’t until I began taking lithium for bipolar that my mind stabilized enough for me to understand who I am in Christ, which propelled me into healing over the next 18 years, and still going on.🙏✝️🕊️🙋‍♀️❤️‼️

Love her explanations. I have been facing unsurmountable pain and trauma due to a neglectful husband. I know it's not just me or my emotional response, and it's symptomatic that something very wrong is going on here and he refuses to address it. Prayers appreciated because this has to change.

Trauma and Grief survivor. I'm glad I saw this video. I need it

This really touched home to me. I lost triplet babies late in my pregnancy. Since then I have had 2 boys, a divorce and a single mom. I have since been in survival mode and just never processed all that I have gone through and really struggling

[whitnieestes]

Thank you so much for this. I've been suffering from reoccurring postpartum depression. I seeked helped today after dealing for it with weeks. I've been told by peers that it was a faith issue... and I felt like a bad Christian. Thank you for this messaged. This was a blessing for me tonight.

I'm going through a rough time due to injury from accident 2 years ago. Please pray for me and my family. This video was very helpful.

[laurenelisej]

This conversation is very needed in the Christian community.

[grammakaren]

I have been through some severe trauma and I’ve done a lot of work over a 30 year period. Everything she is saying I have experienced. I’m looking forward to reading her book.

YOU HAVE BEEN A BLESSING, YOUR EXPRESSIONS, VOCABULARY, HONESTY, EXPERIENCES, HUMILITY, KNOWLEDGE, AND ATTITUDE IS SO DELIBERATE AND HELPFUL ALL AT ONCE!!!🥰😇😍

[melaniedenoudsten]

I really enjoyed this message. I often just say 'I'm doing well', but am I really? How many things am I holding inside that will come out in my behavior somehow? Praise the Lord for his Holy Spirit who walks with us through a lifetime of sanctification.

Just because we are born again doesn't mean we don't need professional help to process our emotions.

My INTIMACY with The Father gets Better and Better! This is my Barometer for my Spiritual Health!🤗🙋🏽‍♀️💜🕊🕊🕊💯

[ItCantRainForever]

Yes transference is a real thing and I took it out on those around me for years until I realized I was only hurting myself. I had to forgive them in order to find the peace I so badly needed.

[DoubleWhiskey]

Debra your explanations and vulnerability are so spot on, I know exactly what you went through and how unbelievably lost one can feel. We forget that instead of telling people what to do in times of crisis we need to be there and help carry their burdens. We are to be 'church' for them, it would help more just to be there than to preach prayer or medication. Thanks again for being vulnerable and open so that others can learn. God bless Jim and company may His grace envelope you daily.

[triciaphillips]

Thank you to our Lord for this channel.

[lilianasaba]

This is beautiful.

After I resigned from my job (loved working for this organisation but January 2021 came with very unpleasant changes). The day after I resigned I started experiencing serious anxiety. I am healing but this takes time I am learning

[nancyreyes]

She is a a stellar phycologist!!! I have related to her immensely!

[SandraLuz]

Praise the Lord for this wonderful broadcast. I haven't been well in awhile, this has been a blessing 🙏 thank you

[JackieD]

How did you know I needed to hear this? This interview has brought so much healing to my soul.
