James Powell's Journey: Confronting Complex Trauma and Finding Hope

It's time for me to bring these lies out into the open, to obliterate the shame, to define my own truth and start to use my actual voice.
James Powell opens up about a pivotal moment in his life on this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine'. He takes listeners back to his time at a long-term complex trauma and rehabilitation centre in the US, where he began to truly live again. During a raw and emotional disclosure session with his parents, James lays bare the devastating effects of growing up as a closeted gay Christian in the Evangelical church.
He bravely discusses the religious sexual trauma, addiction, and conditional love that have shaped his journey towards mental, spiritual, and emotional health. Despite the chaos and anguish of our times, James finds gratitude in these challenges, seeing them as a catalyst for collective awakening and personal growth. His story is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the importance of using one's voice to foster healing.
Tune in to hear how James navigates his fears, shares his truth, and offers hope to others facing similar struggles.
