How do you prepare your heart and mind to hear stories of deep suffering without becoming overwhelmed — or walking away untouched?In Self-Care with Julia and Ann Maree, we pause before beginning this season’s difficult story to talk about something equally important: how to listen well.Ann Maree is joined by licensed therapist and Help[H]er board member, Julia, to explore the weighty but necessary practice of bearing witness — not only to unimaginable trauma but also to the redemptive thread running through the darkness. You’ll hear practical self-care strategies, spiritual insights, and thoughtful encouragement for anyone who wants to enter into another’s story without losing themselves in the process.SHOW NOTES: Self-Care Resources:Christian Trauma Healing Network, Tools and HandoutsSelf-Regulation for Daily TriggersTherapy in a NutshellJustice From the Victim’s Perspective by Judith HermanHonoring the Truth: A Response to the Backlash by Ellen Bass and Laura DavisEscaping Enemy Mode by Dr Jim WilderInformational Resources:Lalich Center on Cults and CoercionRAINN.org - Informational Support for sexual abuse survivorsOn the Threshold of Hope by Diane LangbergEscaping High-Control Religious GroupsSafe To Hope is one of the resources offered through the ministry of Help[H]er, a 501C3 that provides training and resources for those ministering in one-another care, and advocacy for women in crisis in Christian organizations.
