Biblical Counselor Speaks About PTSD

[@Craiglife777]

A few years ago I suddenly started having panic attacks.....for no good reason, I'm retired and have a great life, very low stress. Then after ending up in the ER for a panic attack that was so bad I thought I was having a heart attack, I found out I had an enlarged thyroid, and it was my hormones that were all out of whack. I avoided doctors and prayed a lot for medical wisdom, and used natural remedies like diet to get better. But did open my eyes to the fact that not all mental illness is spiritual.

I understand this completely!!!

I’ve been meeting with Mark for a couple years to help me through some things. He is solid and absolutely wonderful.

[@Expsychicsaved]

Yes he is!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@elain-3034]

Same here, I agree, Mark encourages me to focus and read my Bible, a lot of the solutions for life's problems can be found in Scripture, God bless 🙏 💕

I am grateful to come across this video. I was just scrolling through FB asking God for help in my healing process, and I came across this. I am a born again believer, who has suffered trauma (many years). The 5 don’t’s is what I learned to do for many years. Even as a believer. I am new to trusting counseling since 2016. I have learned to trust no one . Well I am now trying to find my people. I have a new counselor who I am learning to trust. I love the 5 do tips!!! Thank you

[@Expsychicsaved]

@@rhondatalkington9696 I am thankful you were blessed by the video and I pray for you and your new counselor!

[@kellyschroeder7437]

I’m thinking just right now. How to profer trust to those who’ve been harmed before in extremes where it has terrified them to trust 🎉 anyone as over and over it’s been squashed. I’m struggling myself. I know only Jesus Christ can be the deliverer and conquerer of this ??? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️✝️✝️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Melissa_John3_16]

Thank you for this topic! Past six months I’ve been dealing with trauma from my childhood and my goal was to heal Gods way. Not man’s. I found a “Christian” counseling center but I’ve had to set boundaries with them regarding new age type therapies.

[@Expsychicsaved]

I’m so sorry for what you have endured and so happy to hear about the counseling !!!I pray healing in the name of Jesus!!!

[@beththomas8430]

Hi Jenn, I would love to see you interview Chelsea Peat from the KZbin channel “Jesus is Truth”. She also came out of New Age and witchcraft and has an amazing testimony. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 God Bless! ❤

I have dealt with depression anxiety first in 2019-2020. Weaned myself off of benzos but still on hydroxyzine for anxiety. Lived through two death a of relatives and 2 beloved dogs. I have a super stressful job that I hate. Now I believe I have anhedonia. I feel like I have failed as a Christian.

[@Expsychicsaved]

I am so sorry to hear all that you have endured . You are not a failure ! I pray for Gods strength to help you and comfort you in Jesus’s name Amen

[@lauragb3677]

I’m praying that you have continued healing after such loss. You are not a failure, you are God’s child.

[@beaberean3842]

Jenn please have Mark on again and again! This whole video has confirmed to me that I’m going in the right direction with the right tools. The Lord literally led me to a wonderful woman, 3 weeks ago, that has suffered from PTSD and is now a biblical counselor. The Lord is leading me through this wonderful woman of God through the healing process. 🙌 Jenn and Mark your godly wisdom and knowledge on how to let the Lord bring us through the healing process is needed so much. For the last 2 1/2 years I kept telling God that I want Him to heal me, I just didn’t understand that I play a part in the healing and that I need to put the time and discipline in.

[@Expsychicsaved]

🙏🙏🙏

[@beaberean3842]

This video is so encouraging Jenn, thank you. I am in the beginning stages of the healing process from PTSD etc…and I’ve had dozens upon dozens of days of being vulnerable and desperate for relief. I’ve been tempted and started seeking out alternative means for healing and praise God, He keeps bringing me back to Him. He’s teaching me to pray without ceasing, to immerse myself in his Word to find Him, to know Him and to walk with Him through this. He’s teaching me patience, how to slow down to His pace and let Him lead me and to learn to trust Him. He made my brain, he made my nervous system, He is the only one that can heal me! All glory to God!! I’m not out of the woods yet, but my hope is in Jesus. All for my good and His glory! 🙌🙌🙌

[@Expsychicsaved]

Amen!!!

[@laurens8623]

Trauma can happen also when we sin. Like participating in occult

[@chloesong3064]

Thanks Jenn and Mr. Baker for this informative and biblical conversation! Detective J. Warner Wallace also mentioned "Post Traumatic Growth" in his latest book The Truth in True Crime. This video and the one on Anxiety and Depression with Mr. Baker have been so helpful for me to recognise the faulty thinkings in my mind and realigning my perceptions to God's word and His will. Still praying for the Holy Spirit to enable me to trust and believe in God's character and not just knowing them in my mind. He alone, Jesus' powerful and life-giving Word can and will pull us out of darkness into the light as long as we keep going back to him. Thank you so much for allowing God to work through the both of you to have these conversations. God bless!

I’m only 6 mins in but wondering what John MacArthur said and if we have a link to the video to help with context. Looking forward to all of this discussion though.

[@pamelabarone5868]

It is being sinned against and we get upset living in an evil world that keeps beating down the victim everyday repeatedly with no relief then we have opp definate disorder. Its evil.

[@teresapaul1589]

Not demon induced. Some things are inherited from parents. I have ADHD, possibly autism. My sons’ dad has bipolar. My sons inherited all of it. Unfortunately my youngest son has turned away his belief. I do think his belief in Jesus will help. My oldest still needed medication and behavioral therapy. I also needed trained and information. I’m saved. I know that my oldest son is with God in heaven. Some things are learned generationally also. I’m breaking that pattern.

[@Ben-ru9ju]

Bipolar has a 80% inheritability rate in first generation relatives. We have tons of it in my family too. My family has found getting very steady sleep, routine, meds, and a ketogenic diet to be very helpful. Good sleep is most impactful. There are theories it’s a disorder caused by mutation in genes that dictate circadian rhythm.
