10: How Can Trauma from Missionary Experiences Impact Mothers?
Manage episode 404572862 series 3545146
In this episode of the podcast, I open up about the deeply traumatic experiences I went through during my sons' missionary services. I talk about how grateful I am for my better communication with my younger son, which was quite different from what I experienced when my older son was on his mission. I delve into what trauma means, pointing out that it's not so much about the events themselves but rather how our brains react to them.
I share the story of my son's mission and my distress due to his companion's very concerning behavior. And the response I got from the mission president didn't help the situation.
This is all about normalizing that sometimes we need outside help to help us process what has happened. Trauma isn't something we need to ignore; we can get the help we need.
