Back then, I couldn't see that my ego high was actually my soul cry. On my healing and recovery journey, I'm learning so much about self-esteem and I have a courtside seat to witnessing the devastating impact that developmental trauma can have on a human's self-worth and self-esteem.
James Powell's story is one of transformation and self-discovery. In this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', titled 'Validate Me', James opens up about a pivotal time in his life when he began to shed the masks of his past and embrace his true self. Reflecting on his school years, James recounts how he moved from a place of fear and insecurity to one of confidence and zest for life.
This period marked his coming out and reinvention, a time when he finally felt the freedom he had longed for. James shares candidly about the struggles he faced as a closeted gay Christian in the Evangelical church, where he endured religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and addiction. He talks about the courage it took to come out and how that decision led to a new life filled with opportunities and self-validation.
His journey wasn't just about overcoming past traumas but also about finding his voice and self-worth. In this episode, James also touches on the differences between open relationships and the traditional Christian relationships he was familiar with. He delves into the impact of developmental trauma on self-esteem and self-worth, offering insights that many listeners might find relatable. Whether you're dealing with similar issues or supporting someone who is, James's story is both inspiring and educational.
His journey towards mental, spiritual, and emotional health is a testament to the power of self-acceptance and validation. Tune in to hear James's uplifting message and perhaps find some validation for yourself along the way.
