Key Points:
There is a difference between blame and responsibility. It is important to hold abusers accountable while also recognizing our personal role in the healing process
Our souls are harmed in our response to a trauma but that does not mean we are responsible for the trauma itself
Grace and divine assistance are necessary for acknowledging the reality of what happened and experiencing healing
Healing is the process of being restored to our original God-given glory. It involves encountering God as the source of our healing and developing a right relationship with Him
Healing is not just the removal of pain, but the freedom to will the good and the capacity to live in accordance with our true nature
