Trauma is blocked emotional energy that is trapped inside of your body. You need to process it and you need to feel it.
What happens when the weight of trauma becomes too much to bear? In this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', James Powell opens up about his deeply personal battles with trauma, repression, and suicidal thoughts. He takes listeners through the dark corridors of his mind where he once believed leaving this world was easier than facing his feelings and following his inner truth.
James reveals how denying his emotions and his 'Knowing' severed his connection with God and caused immense pain, not just to himself but to others around him. This raw and candid episode doesn't shy away from the tough conversations about mental health and the importance of processing trauma. James also reflects on the comforting role of music during his hardest times and discusses the significant impact of HIV/AIDS on the LGBTQ+ community, particularly on his life as a Queer Christian.
Family acceptance, or the lack thereof, also plays a crucial part in his story. Through his journey, James highlights the lifesaving work of The Trevor Project, an organization dedicated to supporting young LGBTQ+ individuals. This episode is a heartfelt dedication to anyone grappling with mental health issues, reminding us all of the power of community and the importance of speaking our truths.
