Spiritual Healing Journey After Emotional Abuse: Finding Wholeness Beyond Trauma healing trauma Jun 25, 2025

The wounds of emotional abuse extend far beyond the psychological and relational—they reach into the very core of your spiritual being.

The body becomes both a repository of unresolved trauma and, paradoxically, a place that no longer feels safe to fully inhabit.
