Episode 031: Even If: Healing After Tragedy

When bad things happen it's easy to rely on coping mechanisms and go into survival mode just to make it through. However, most times the coping mechanisms and survival mode mentality can easily become part of how we deal with life in general. We stay in survival mode to a certain extent. So when do you heal from those adverse events in your life??

What if you could learn how to cope in a healthy way that could help you stop negative, harmful thoughts and behaviors before they start? What if you don't have to feel alone, afraid or abandoned?

If any of this resonates with your heart, then this episode is for you!
I'm sharing with you the methods I have used to heal from past and recent tragedy. We'll be conquering survival mode coping mechanisms like:

• Internalization (6:37)

Golden nuggets from this episode:

"And because of that, I need to trust God, and to trust that He's got plans for me that I may not know of right now. And there's ways that He needs to prepare me that I don't understand right now, because I don't see the place where He's taking me yet. Because He needs me right where I am, to prepare me for that."

"when you submit to God, then you're saying, God, Invest in me."

Michelle Remington (00:40):
When tragedy strikes, no matter how helpless
you feel, you have a choice inhow you react to what is going
on. No matter how helpless youfeel. It is that choice that
determines how quickly and howwell you heal. If you're in the
middle of tragedy, you can healthrough it. If the tragedy you

(01:04):
experienced is in the past, it'snot too late to heal from that
tragedy. Now, as with any normalperson, I have experienced
tragedy in my life. And as ofright now, my community is going

(01:26):
through and sifting through lifeafter a terrible tragedy.
I'm in Kentucky. So we justrecently had some pretty bad
tornadoes come through and it'srocked our community. Honestly,
I think it has rocked everysingle person in the community,
I think it's shaken them. And Ithink a lot of people are still

(01:50):
dealing with it. And even youknow, as you try to go back to
normal life and just try to helpout or you can but try to get
back to normal. It's hard to dothat when you go through your
town. And you look on one sideof the street, and it looks

(02:10):
great, normal, on the other sideof the street, completely
decimated, neighborhoods justtorn to the ground. And I think
that as we go through tragedy,and as I have been through other
tragedies in my life, I want toshare with you some phases that
you may go through when dealingwith tragedy, some coping

(02:33):
mechanisms that you may usethrough that and how to how to
help yourself heal through thatprocess of dealing with the
tragedy, whether you're goingthrough it right now or whether
it's something in your past. Sotoday, I hope to bless you with
this episode. So here we go.

Worth It! Intro (02:57):
Welcome to worth it. The podcast where we
answer anxiety, deflate fear andshut down shame you were made to
thrive. My mission is to helpyou get deeply rooted with God
and reclaim your weapon that theenemy of God has been using
against you. After going tobattle for my own mind. Four
years ago, I realized that thereis a war going on for our minds.

(03:20):
A battle that begins with how wethink says you have much more
control than you realize. Witheach episode, you'll learn how
to fight back and become moreconfident in the truth that God
already knows. You are worth it.
I'm Michelle Remington,Christian mindset coach, thought
captivater, daughter of the kingand warrior mama. Grab your

(03:40):
sword daughter of the king, it'stime to unleash your inner
warrior princess.

Michelle Remington (03:56):
Welcome back warrior, as like any normal
person, any normal human beingin this world, you have probably
been through tragedy in yourlife. Some kind of tragedy maybe
you're going through tragedyright now. And tragedy has so
many different forms. You know,it doesn't have to be some big

(04:17):
catastrophic event. Not justthat, but it can be very
personal things or it can berelationships that you've gone
through or going through. It canbe situations in your life that
you're going through. It can bemedical issues it can be it can
be spiritual issues, it can beemotional issues, it can be

(04:37):
anything, anything tragic thatis happening in your life. And I
think oftentimes because we livein such a technologically
advanced world, things arebusier than they have ever been.
The problem with that is thatwhen things are busier than they

(04:58):
have ever been. It can make getharder to deal with the tragedy
that works still trying toprocess in our life because you
feel like life is going onwithout you. And you have to
keep up when you really justneed time to process it. But
then again, you're not sure howto do that. And I will be

(05:23):
sharing with you today somethings that I have observed
going through my own tragedies,but also going through tragedies
with friends, and helping themthrough those moments. And I
hope to bless you with thattoday.
Anytime we experience tragedy,the most important thing that

(05:48):
you can control in thatsituation is your reaction. And
this is why it's very helpful torecognize the coping mechanisms
that you may be using to dealwith it. At that time, I mean,
there may be some initial shock.
And once the shock wears off,then your mind your body is so

(06:12):
intelligently designed by Godthat you'd start to try to
create these coping mechanismsor behave with these coping
mechanisms to help you deal withthe stress and the emotions of
that trauma that you've justrecently experienced or that you

(06:33):
are experiencing.
So I probably say the mostdangerous one is
internalization. Andinternalization is when you
basically start to self analyze,you analyze your thoughts, your

(06:55):
behaviors, your actions, and youstart to wonder, why did this
happen to me? Why me? What did Ido to make this happen? Is God
punishing me? Those kind ofthoughts. And it's really like
taking that trauma instead ofevery, like, the whole

(07:20):
environment that all of thistrauma is going on in. And it's,
it's all pointing it back toyou. Which, as you can probably
already tell, biblically doesnot sound right. And pointing

(07:40):
all the fingers back to you, inthis situation in this trauma
that you're dealing with, is nothelpful. It's, it's harming you,
it's really, really harming you.
So I want you to guard againstinternalizing this situation,
internalizing the experience,the emotions, all of that.

(08:07):
And what can feed thisinternalization and make it even
more dangerous, is if youalready have negative thoughts,
emotions, fears, anxieties,shame, any of that in your life,
in your, in your heart, in yourmind that you're dealing with,

(08:27):
they always get dug back up,when you're dealing with some
kind of tragedy in your life.
And especially when you turn tointernalization. I mean, it's
just like, digging up that soil,okay, it's like, alright, I, I
done buried the shame, I buriedthe fear, not dealing with it
anymore. And then along comes atragedy that you're dealing

(08:51):
with. And then for whateverreason, the shock of the trauma,
possibly, you start to dig upthat stuff. And it's familiar to
you.
So a lot of times, even intragedy, when we're dealing with
something very uncomfortable. Wetend to gravitate towards what

(09:14):
is familiar, to help us try todeal with it because we feel so
helpless and so alienated inthat situation. Everything is
just like a shock to yoursystem. So dealing with those
negative thoughts and emotionsis a very, very important step

(09:36):
in helping you through thehealing process. And I'm going
to be going over some steps withyou in just a little bit here to
help you in dealing with thosenegative thoughts in a biblical
way.
Now, of course, anytime you'reexperiencing those negative

(09:56):
thoughts, the fear, the doubt,all of it It can make you feel
stressed, and overwhelmed. Andquite frankly, in a tragedy,
you're already feeling stressedand overwhelmed, because you're
in a situation that is out ofyour control. But then it just

(10:17):
kind of adds to the stress andeverything, especially if you
don't know how to deal with theemotions and the thoughts that
you're having. After thetragedy, you see how it's like
one big snowball effect that'shappening. And all of this is
stuff that you can experience,if not, some of it, all of it,

(10:40):
once you've experienced atragedy in your life.
And then of course, all of thatcan lead you to develop
unhealthy habits that help youto cope with it or not cope with
it at all, and just escape itfor a little bit. And especially

(11:01):
in today's day and age, there'sso much that you could do to
turn to to distract yourselffrom these things. Or maybe you
take up like an another badhabit like smoking or something
like that, again, or could beanything, it could be so many

(11:21):
things, there's there's so manyhabits that can be harmful to
you and your well being. Andit's not just you know, things
that you ingest or anything likethat, it can be things that you
that you pick up and you lookat, it can be things that you
distract yourself with. It canbe destructive behavior, it can

(11:44):
be anything. And I'm just goingto ask the Lord right now to
kind of ping your heart rightnow and show you what those
behaviors are those unhealthyhabits that destructive behavior
is.
So I mean, it's literally like abig old snow snowball effect
So let's talk about healing now.
Okay. Now there's one thing Iwith the coping mechanisms. And

(12:07):
a lot of times they just rollinto each other. But also, we
have to realize that copingmechanisms aren't just cut and
dry. It's there like a big oldiceberg. There's a whole lot
that led up to it. And, or evenjust like that snowball, right?
The snowball starts out small,and then you just keep on adding

(12:31):
stuff to it. And things get outof control. And then you have a
big humongous snowball thisgoing down the mountain that
could take out a house.

(12:52):
want to remind you of, andthat's in the Bible, Jesus
didn't focus on people's past.
He focused on their choices, andon their hearts. Because God
knows that he created us withfreewill. And in that free will,
we have the ability to make afree choice at any moment, to

(13:17):
change our direction andbiblical terms to repent. Not
saying that you need to repentof anything. If you've been the
victim of some kind of tragedy,just saying. You can turn
around, you can change yourmind, you can change the

(13:38):
situation. Anytime you are in atragedy, no matter how helpless
you feel, you still have achoice. And that choice is going
to determine how well you heal.
So let's talk about the healing.

(14:01):
So, when dealing with theinternalization, those negative
thoughts that are all part ofthat internalization, I want to
give you my little list of stepsthat I take when I'm dealing
with negative thoughts in mylife in dealing with dealing

(14:22):
with fear dealing with shame,dealing with doubt, all of those
things. So the first thing is,take those thoughts, and maybe
they're the same thoughts thatare running through your head or
maybe you notice that thosethoughts are all in the same
theme. I encourage you to getlike a notebook, paper, pencil,

(14:48):
pen, whatever, and write downthose negative thoughts and then
go through this list. Thischecklist, I guess you would say
for each one of those negativethoughts each time you
experience a new one. Becausecoping it, there might be a

(15:12):
negative thought or emotion thatit has been wrapped in with
another, another negativethought or emotion or another
experience or something likethat where forgiveness needs to
happen.
So the first thing is the firstquestion to ask about that

(15:33):
thought. Is it true? Is it true?
This is where it's veryimportant to go to God in prayer
with this, and maybe you want tofind yourself a quiet place,
maybe you have yourself a warroom, maybe you want to make a
war room, that will be cool. Butfind yourself a quiet place

(15:58):
where you can sit down with God.
See, going to God and talking toGod is not just, you know, hands
and praying, in praying stance,and you in praying stance, eyes

(16:18):
closed, just praying. You canactually problem solve with God.
And it's amazing, because youknow, he's God, okay? It's like,
yeah, I don't have to explainit. He's God, problem solve with
God, the problems will getsolved, quite simply. So is it

(16:41):
true? Is that negative thoughtor emotion you're having true?
What does God's Word say aboutthat negative thought, or
emotion. This is where you canuse like your concordance on
your phone. Or if you have a bigold Strong's Concordance on your

(17:03):
bookshelf, you can use that too.
But use your concordance andlook up keywords that relate to
your thought that you havewritten down that you're
battling with God's word. Andthen the next step, after you
have found the scripture, thatgives you the answer of what

(17:24):
God's Word says about that, thenyou want to rebuke, and reverse
that thought.
And sometimes that rebuking is,for instance, I'll take a
personal reference for you. SoI've had moments where I'm like,

(17:48):
I used to think like, God, youmade a mistake with me. You, you
really didn't want to make meyou didn't? What is wrong with
me, basically. And that thought,right there, there are some
thoughts where it's a good thingto repent of those thoughts.

(18:11):
Because, for me, I was basicallysaying, God, you did something
wrong. You messed up. When Goddidn't mess up, I was just not
understanding. I was so wrappedup in all of my emotions, and
all of the tragedy anddepression that I was dealing
with, that I tried to blame Godfor what was going on, because I

(18:37):
didn't know how to deal with it,or cope with it.
So sometimes, it might berepent, and reverse. But for all
intensive purposes, rebuke, orrepent, and reverse. So reverse
that thought, of whatever it is,like, I did something to make

(19:02):
this happen, or I'm so useless,or anything like that. I mean,
those negative thoughts andemotions, I mean, they can cut
straight to your core and tearyou down. And that is exactly
what God does not want. And thatis exactly why you need to read
God's word, because God's wordcan build you back up. And it

(19:28):
can put you right back where youneed to be at the feet of Jesus.
So rebuke, and reverse, and thencheck your gates. So this is a
phrase that my pastor uses alot.
Check your gates. And basically,this means how did that thought,

(19:50):
get into your head? Where did itcome from? And why did I latch
on to it? The next step afterthat I think we're on number
five now is trust check. Becausea lot of times, what I found is
that those thoughts came from aplace of distrusting God, not

(20:13):
trusting God, with what wasgoing on in my life, not
trusting that God knew exactlywhat he was doing. I'm the one
that's experiencing life, I'm anif, if I'm really doing, if I'm
really loving God, the way thatI should. And I'm really giving

(20:38):
God all the love and respectthat I need to be giving him
that I need to realize that I'min control of myself and myself
only, God is taking care of therest. And because of that, I
need to trust God, and to trustthat he's got plans for me that

(20:59):
I may not know of right now. Andthere's ways that he needs to
prepare me that I don'tunderstand right now, because I
don't see the place where He'staking me yet. Because he needs
me right where I am, to prepareme for that.
So trust check. Just checkyourself, if it's a trust issue

(21:22):
with God, repent, and keep onmoving. Repenting doesn't mean
the end of the world, repentingreally means life. And hope. I
know, though, the way that Igrew up, I always thought of
repenting as like this, thisreally grievious thing not like

(21:43):
because I didn't want to repent,but it was like, you know, kind
of doom and gloom, kind ofthing. You need to repent, you
are a sinner, and you're bad,and all of this stuff. When
repenting is really like openinga new door or taking new steps
with God, basically, to extendyour life and to keep living
life with God. It's hope, andit's light. In your life,

(22:08):
repentance is a good thing.
Number six, remember where Godhas brought you from. As we
already know, the term Hindsightis 2020. Girl, you look back on
your life of the things that youhave been through and the things
that God has done in your life.
And you're going to startblessing God, for where he has

(22:31):
brought you from. And I don'tknow anybody who would not feel
humbled and thankful. And justkind of refreshing and resetting
your soul, to look at where Godhas brought you from. And to
then find yourself, you know,right before God in His throne

(22:55):
room, just thanking God. And itjust there's something about it
that just cleanses your soulcleanses your soul. And it's a
beautiful thing. And right now,if you're dealing with some kind
of tragedy, or if you've dealtwith some kind of tragedy, and
you're just trying to heal rightnow, you need that. You need
that cleansing love to just washall over you.

(23:20):
And then number seven, feast andimmerse yourself in God's word,
highly recommend reading God'sword, every day, and immerse
yourself in it. So there are somany ways, especially with
technology and everything thatwe have today that we can
immerse ourselves in God's word.
You can read your Bible,obviously, you can listen to a

(23:45):
Bible, you can listen to likeyour audio Bible and have it
going as you're going about yourday. You can surround yourself
in your home, in your office, inyour car, wherever it is,
surround yourself with God'sword. It's very easy to immerse
yourself in that and when youimmerse yourself in God's word

(24:06):
when you're surrounded by God'sword. I mean, it can be as
simple as just writing down ascripture that God has put on
your heart, or a scripture thatencourages you and put it where
you can see it. When you wake upevery single day, or before you
go to bed. And being immersed inGod's word and seeing it every

(24:28):
day is powerful, because God'sword is powerful. It's living,
its breathing. It works in usbecause it is the word of our
Heavenly Creator.
Now, another interesting factthat I will share with you about

(24:48):
immersing yourself in God'sWord. In this is something that
my pastor has said many times,and that's it when you speak the
word of God. And that is whenyou You read God's word out
loud, here's a few thingshappen. You're seeing it with
your eyes, you're speaking itwith your mouth, and you're

(25:10):
hearing it with your ears. Thatright there. I mean, I call it
the triple whammy. But it ispowerful. It is powerful. The
reason why it is so powerful isthat your brain is listening to
everything that you're saying.
And I know you're like, "Well,yeah, of course, Michelle duh!
that's like the way we are." Butno, listen to me, your

(25:32):
subconscious mind is listeningto every word that you say. And
because we are created in thelikeness, and in the image of
God, He created our minds, totake that word. And when we hear
things, and there's there isneuroscience that backs all of

(25:57):
this.
So depending on what we say, andwhat we listen to, we, our mind
basically builds neuro pathwaysto certain behaviors, and
beliefs about ourselves, in ourmind. And just think of the

(26:18):
effect of what you're currentlysaying what you're currently
listening to or watching. Thinkof the effect of how of how that
affects your mind. Is that whereyou want to be in your
relationship with God? Is thatwhere you want your mental,

(26:39):
emotional and spiritual healthto be? Is that something that's
contributing to your mental,emotional and spiritual health?
And I know, I know, there's somuch going on in the world. And
you're like, "well, aren't youjust a goody two shoes Michelle,
you to us, Miss be so perfect?"No, I am absolutely not. I mess

(27:02):
up every single day. And I needto hear this stuff too.
What we say, and how we talkabout ourselves, is important.
You want to help yourself, youwant to help yourself to be as

(27:24):
healthy as you can possibly be.
It's not only the physicalexercise, it's the mental, the
emotional, and the spiritualexercise that you're doing as
well. You have to invest inyourself. And when you invest in
yourself, in every part ofyourself. And honestly, it's
really not investing inyourself, when you submit to God

(27:46):
is it when you submit to God,then you're saying, God, Invest
in me. Oh, Jesus, thank You,Lord. Okay, well, I needed to
hear that. Good. Wow!When you submit yourself to God,
and as Paul says, die toyourself, daily, you are saying,

(28:12):
I give myself away to you, God,I am yours. And in turn, when we
submit ourselves to God, headopts us. When we I mean,
there's a process in thescriptures of how to get adopted

(28:33):
by God, you know, that we submitto God, we repent, you baptized
in Jesus name. And then he fillsus with His Holy Spirit, when he
fills us with His Holy Spirit,that is the earnest of our
inheritance. And that means youadopted, you are a child of God.

(28:54):
And as a child of God, God isnow invested in you. Somebody
needed to hear that today. Andit wasn't just me.
Now, under understanding thatlife is fast paced, it's always

(29:18):
going. And even when you're inthe midst of trauma, you may not
have the time to deal with it.
Or you may have that time todeal with it and have your quiet
time with God, but it's aprocess. So it's not just one
and done one session with Godand it's done. There are still
emotions that he is dealingwith. And when you go to God in

(29:43):
prayer, you're saying, God, Iopened myself up to you, I give
you full rein God, full reignover every thought, every
emotion, every part of me. Ineed your healing Jesus. And
when you do that it sets somethings in motion. And God begins
to work deeper and deeper inyou.

(30:08):
But as life is busy, you mayfind yourself in the midst of
your day, you're runningerrands, you're at work, you're
doing things. And all thissudden, like, overwhelm stress,
anxiety comes on. This is whereI want to share with you, what I
call my path to peace, becauseI'm like, Okay, this is stuff

(30:29):
that I can do. Usually, in themidst of what I'm doing. And I
could just, you know, as I'mgoing, I can focus on these
things.
So the first thing is prayer.
You can pray, wherever you are,whatever situation you're in,
you can pray anytime, anywhere.

(30:51):
So prayer is your first step inthat restoration of peace for
you are dealing with theanxiety, the fear, the stress
that you have, in that moment,as you're just trying to go
about your day. Prayers, thatnumber one, because what you're
doing with prayer, you'resaying, God, I need you. SOS,

(31:16):
SOS, I need you, God, I need youGod. Okay.
Second thing that you can do is,get into your scripture, either
read it, or listen to it, youknow, get one of the Bible apps
on your on your smartphone. Andyou can listen to Scripture,
there are so many apps where youcan just listen.

(31:37):
Number three, praise andworship, pray, get your praise
song girl, get to worship, maybeyou need to take some time, and
just engulf yourself in thatpraise and worship music. And
there's something amazing aboutmusic that God created that it

(31:57):
can just change your wholeatmosphere. So praise and
worship music, even if you don'thave any music to put on in, you
just start singing honey, Idon't care if you could carry
tune, neither does Jesus. Mysoutherns coming out sorry.
Jesus does not care if you cansing. Because your praise and

(32:20):
worship is more powerful. Andmore meaningful than whether you
could carry your tune or not.
Number four journaling, orvlogging. Maybe if you have like
a pen and paper kind of journal,or if you want to just like
write it on, you know, do it onyour your notepad on your phone,

(32:43):
or to start recording, you cando like an audio recording and
just start talking on yourphone. Or you can turn on your
video camera and start vloggingon your phone. And you don't
have to post these to socialmedia, you can keep these
private.
And then number five, you canphone a prayer partner. And if

(33:07):
you don't have that community ofpeople, I highly suggest that
you start building thatcommunity of people. And if you
don't know what that looks like,or who those people are, start
praying about it, God's gonnabring them to you. You want this
to be somebody that you can praywith somebody that's praying
with you, somebody that you cantrust, that isn't just going to

(33:28):
go gossiping, somebody that youcan trust that's going to meet
you in the throne room.
There's so much so much thatgoes on in our hearts and our
minds when we experiencetragedy. And I'm not trying to
minimize anyone's tragedy oranything like that. But it's

(33:51):
really easy. And as such assomething that I've seen
recently, it's really easy whenwe go through tragedy to
distance ourselves from God. Andthis is the absolute worst thing
that we can do. Because when wedistance ourselves from God, His
enemy is going to try comestompin' on ya, and when we're

(34:13):
going through tragedy, it'sthat's when we need God the
most.
I mean, we need God every singleday of our life. But especially
with their internalization, alot of times we're like, God,
why is this happening? Why me?
And then when you get into thatmindset, then you start
distancing yourself from God.

(34:34):
But God never promised that badthings weren't gonna happen. He
never promised that he wouldn'tgive you more than you could
handle. What he did and doespromise is that he will be with
you when you're going throughthese things, that you do not
have to go through these thingsalone. You don't have to deal

(34:57):
with these things alone. That'swhy the internalization is so
dangerous. Because that's whenyou just start blaming God.
You may not realize that it maynot look like it on the surface.
But you're blaming God, you'relike, why did you do this to me?
When you really should besaying, God, walk with me, walk

(35:20):
with me, God, I don't know whatthis looks like, and I don't
trust my emotions. I don't trustmy thoughts. But I know that you
know, every single lastattention of my heart, you know,
the condition of my heart, and Ineed You, Jesus. I need you. I
can't do this without you. Ihope that this has been a
