About this podcast

Trauma Survivors Unite: Christian Emotional Recovery

Rachel Leroy

Hi there! Welcome to Christian Emotional Recovery, a podcast for survivors of childhood trauma, childhood emotional neglect, childhood narcissistic abuse, and any form of trauma. Many of us spend years trying to heal, and don't get anywhere. We don't always target the trauma itself, which is so often what keeps us stuck. The nature of trauma is that it literally becomes lodged in our brains and bodies. Trauma must be targeted where it's at, deep in our bodies and minds. This podcast is where faith meets science. I’m Rachel Leroy, a college professor and trauma survivor. I’m an emotional recovery expert with twenty years of experience applying healing modalities that helped me start making progress after nothing else worked. I'll show you how to do the same. We use traditional methods for drawing close to Christ, but we also use strategies and modalities such as meditation, EFT, and body work. Each week we'll cover a topic that will show you how to heal trauma for good. I'll teach you to access the deeper parts of your mind where the key to healing resides through specific and concrete strategies that will help you get into those deeper places in the mind--the places where you'll find the healing you've always sought and never gotten. God does heal, but not always in the ways we expect. Recovery takes time.This podcast is for people who are serious about healing and are willing to do the hard, difficult work to heal. Healing ain't for the faint-hearted! This groups offers actionable strategies that target the nature and root of trauma and get actual results.

A.C.O.R.N: Mastering Emotions for Lasting Healing

“Just because you experience a lot of what some people would call negative emotions- like guilt, shame, fear, anger, despair, frustration and all those kinds of hair-pulling emotions- that does not mean that there's something wrong with you.”

Ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions and unsure how to handle them? In this episode of 'Healing Journeys: Christian Emotional Recovery', Rachel Leroy introduces the A.C.O.R.N tool, a practical method for processing difficult emotions. Rachel, a trauma survivor and seasoned college professor, breaks down how emotions aren't inherently bad but serve as signals that something needs attention. She discusses how our reactions can often complicate things, adding unnecessary layers of suffering.

Society tends to treat emotional struggles differently from physical ailments, often leading to avoidance or stigma. Rachel challenges this by emphasizing the importance of giving emotions the same urgent care as physical health issues. She then guides you through the A.C.O.R.N steps: Acceptance, Compassion, Objective Curiosity, Refocus/Reframe, and Not Layering. This method helps you manage emotions in the moment and, with consistent use, aids in healing trauma at its core.

Tune in to learn how to navigate your emotional landscape more effectively and integrate faith into your healing journey.
