We need to stop having our experiences silenced and we need to stop numbing our painful feelings.
Ever wondered how childhood experiences shape who we become? In this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', James Powell takes us on a deeply personal journey back to his preschool days. Known as 'Jimmy' back then, James recounts some of his earliest memories and how they sowed the seeds of shame that would affect his life as a closeted gay Christian in the Evangelical church.
James shares candidly about the painful experiences that taught him to suppress his emotions and silence his voice. He explores how early trauma can leave a lasting imprint, particularly when emotions are stifled from a young age. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how those early experiences can impact mental health and shape our future. But it's not all about the past.
James also talks about moments where he found a sense of belonging and the crucial role of supportive communities. He highlights the importance of advocating for oneself and others, emphasizing that healing is possible even after years of internalized shame. With a mix of raw honesty and hope, James's story is both touching and enlightening. Whether you're dealing with similar issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into the journey towards healing and self-acceptance.
