Paul continues discussing the dynamics of internalized shame and trauma and the effects they have in our relational, spiritual, and emotional health. He also discusses ways to move forward and find healing.

Many people struggle with lingering shame over things they have done, or things that were done to them. Many have also grown up in dysfunctional families and spiritual communities, leaving lingering difficulties in their ability to experience life and relationships in a healthy way. In this episode, Dr. Paul Fitzgerald shares his experience and insight into these sorts of dynamics.

 

How can we describe God as a good Father if he acts worse than us-namely, if he abandons and even tortures his own children when they displease him? Karl faced this issue when he realized the God he believed in did not measure up to even his own paternal instincts.  Listen as Karl shares about his book, his journey, and the realizations that have helped him move forward.
