Where to Begin to Start the Healing Process?

Prayer personal prayer that I wrote for today
Lord Father, I come to you first and foremost sincerely asking for forgiveness for anything I have knowingly and unknowingly thought, said or acted on that goes against your righteousness. I move forward knowing that I am forgiven, and I do not live in shame or guilt for anything in the past.  Lord Father you are merciful, forgiving, benevolent omnipotent and omniscient. You are the Alpha and omega, the beginning and the end.   Lord father I am your servant and I ask that you speak through me. I pray that this podcast would bring souls to salvation, and for those already in the kingdom Lord I believe this podcast would spark the mind of a woman who is in need of healing.  Thank you God For your grace and mercy, thank you for the provisions you make for us. We give you the glory and the honor forever, amen.

This Podcast aims to encourage women on an Interntional scale to accept the journey towards spiritual healing and growth through the application of biblical principles. The reward for doing so, is an intimate relationship with Christ/God that builds a solid foundation of self-worth and identity that cannot be knocked down,
So Good Day to all, I haven't posted an episode since the end of March. The next episode was due in early April.  However, April served as a tough month for me because April is the month my father passed away 2 years ago. I thought I would be more upbeat and accepting of his death this time around but year 2 has been just as hard if not more difficult to cope with.  So, to my sister listening, I do apologize for not at least publishing a short clip to explain my time away. But as a way of showing up for myself, i took the time off and I am not apologetic for that.
Last episode we discussed the signs of emotional trauma. And let me just say that any type of abuse you may experience in life whether it be physical abuse, financial abuse, psychological abuse, mental and even spiritual abuse (yes that's a thing) it all gets categorized under emotional trauma in my opinion. Just wanted to outline that for some reason. so yeah.
So, ON EPISODE 2 I said the next episode (3) would be about how to start the journey of healing.

- Notes I use as I record.
1. You've recognized that you are feelingbroken, you have been traumatized in some way, you havent effectively processed the trauma and now you realize how it affects your personality and mindset.
2. What do you do ?
1. Therapy, counsleing
2. Deeper relationship with God
Submit, complete surrender to Gods power and wisdon, restore your faith and belief that God is the answer. He can and Will heal you if you let him
Read Scriptures, Get to Know who God is on a deeper level, devotion, fasting - allows you to hear from God more clearly
A deeper relationship with christ will help you to make decisions that are inspired by God and not your desires.  For example, you may want to date during a season where God is sayng no. and If you chose not to listen to that because you dont like being alone and you aren't sure how to begin the process of enjoying a season of just you and God, you may find yourself with someone that will make everything MUCH MUCH worse. That person may be fun at first but over time you will see that they are a complete disraction that took you away from what you were originally trying to do which is HEAL and blosson into a better , wiser version of yourself.   A version that doesnt repeat the same mistakes or live in the past or live in a pithole of unforgiveness. .
`3. Find a hobby if you dont already have one, and even if you have one, try somethng new
PAINTING CLASS, YOGA, CROSSFIT, POETRY LOUNGE, CROCHET CLASS, COOKING CLASSES, KICKBOXING, JOURNALING, MUSIC INSTRUMENT,  WHATEVER JUST MAKE DATES WITH YOURSELF.

WHAT NOT TO DO:
DO NOT SPEAK ABOUT YOUR TRAUMA TO PEOPLE THAT ARENT MEANT TO HEAR IT. BE VERY CHOSEY WITH WHO YOU SHARE YOUR STOREY WITH, BECAUSE SATAN USES PEOPLE TO RECREATE THE SAME PAIN YOU ARE TRYING TO HEAL FROM. LISTEN AGAIN AT THAT.
IF YOURE SINGLE - DO NOT DATE RIGHT NOW . JUST GET TO KNW YOURSELF AGAIN, WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE.  -write down what you like about yourself, what you dont like and how you can either accept those dislikes or change them,  SET BOUNDARIES THAT ALLOW YOU To OPROTECT YOUR SELF SUCH AS SAYING NO WHEN YOU WANT TO SAY NO,
Do not emtionally dump on people, meaning- take the time to ask yourself, "do I really need to call this person to vent and complain and cry (whether it be your friend or husband or sibling) .,  Be aware that other people may be going through things as well and maybe they aren't in a place to be your support person right now.  But a therapist or counselor or prayer warrior (intercessor) are the people that are always available. Identify your safe person who gives you permission to make those emotional calls.
