Reform Your Trauma Donation-Based Virtual Summit
An Invitation to Healing, Restoration, and Wholeness in Christ
Trauma is an intense physical, emotional, and spiritual experience that triggers our bodies' survival mechanisms to keep us safe. Because many of us are wounded from unhealed trauma, it can affect us throughout our lives, leaving to seek out relationships and experiences that further wound us and prevent us from the healing that God wants for us. Unhealed trauma prevents whole-person healing, hinders relationships from developing, and encourages addictive behavior to fill the void.
This summer, we invite you to join us for a two-hour Summit to help you reform your trauma. By attending, you will gain valuable insights, practical tools, and community to support your healing.
Using the framework of our nine wellness pillars, Reform’s Jackie Mulligan and Dr. Bridget Vander Woude, will provide best practices to support your healing in body and soul.
Dr. Bob Schuchts of the JPII Healing Center, along with Fr. Barry Braum will discuss the role of forgiveness and the transformative power of the sacraments in bringing us into deeper wholeness and restoration in Christ.
As the Divine Physician, Christ desires to encounter us in our places of woundedness and bring about new life.
“Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything.”
— St. Teresa of Ávila
