Boz highlighting the way certain pastors respond to abuse allegations with false narratives, taking to social media to show their slick side and dangle temptation to bask in their reflective glory is unfortunately something I wish I never had to see. False narratives trap and enslave the church, but the truth… The truth sets us free. Thankful to Boz and to you, Scot, for telling the truth and setting us free. As Beth Allison Barr tells her students, “Be free!”
This is so fun! I especially enjoyed the part about immune responses and the memories triggered be the sense of smell.
Our little group that is doing the 'To Be Told' course came upon the realization of the end goal of this study, to dive into our traumatic stories so the brain pathways to the executive function can be rebuilt. Trauma cuts our brain off from the executive function, but over time, research has proven these pathways can be rebuilt, but it takes time and commitment in a community setting. To embrace the "triggers" or, bodily responses to the memories of trauma and build a new response is not easy but I have to believe Jesus is in it. All of the triggers that have resulted from the #churchtoo movement have come to my attention while I have the tools to transform them. Maybe this is what it means to be a survivor and a survivor sensitive approach involves access to these tools. Online courses are available through the Allender Center.

Thank you for this comment Lindsey, lots to think about here.
