We all have been formed by things that have been said to us, done to us, or done around us. It's part of being human. Every event that has had an impact on our lives, whether positive or negative, is a type of trauma by definition. The Bible teaches us to come out of the conformity that we've experienced in the world to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
Our bodies tell the stories of our trauma. We often use our faith to caveat those stories, but our faith can actually rewire those stories in our brain so that they are now used for God's purpose. We have to recognize those traumas, discover the lie those traumas made us believe about ourselves, declare the truth about what God says about about us, and develop daily habits that align with that truth.
Your faith cannot be separated from your body. It's all integrated, and it's all connected.
