Leigh Mackenzie: Healing from Trauma and Embracing Faith
And in the end I realized that there's a book there and a lot of people didn't want to talk about biblical trauma healing.
What happens when therapy helps you uncover hidden traumas from your past? Leigh Mackenzie joins Gina Fox on 'Anchored by the Sword' to share her deeply personal journey of healing. Leigh, a sermon research assistant at a midwestern megachurch and known as 'The Church Girl Writes', dives into her experience with therapy, revealing how it helped her unlock memories she had long forgotten. Through this process, she discovered a path to healing that she never imagined possible.
Leigh talks about the impact of four simple words that changed her life's direction and ministry over the last four years. She also opens up about dealing with childhood sexual abuse, PTSD, and the power of breathing techniques in managing stress and anxiety. Throughout the episode, Leigh highlights the importance of faith in her recovery, underscoring how her belief in God provided strength and comfort during her darkest times.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with past traumas, offering insights and inspiration to start their own healing journey.
