Episode Description:

 In this powerful launch to our Veteran Trauma Recovery Program, we dive deep into how trauma changes the brain—and how the brain can heal. Using the science of neuroplasticity, Coach Liz breaks down how trauma survivors, whether veteran or civilian, can retrain their minds and rewrite their stories. If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode, this episode will show you that your brain isn’t broken—it’s wounded, and it can recover.

 Topics Covered:

  • The difference between PTSD and CPTSD

  • How trauma affects the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex

  • What neuroplasticity is and why it matters in trauma recovery

  • How journaling, rest, prayer, movement, and intentional relationships rewire the brain

  • The spiritual and biological truth: “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind”

 Reflective Prompts:

  1. What beliefs or behaviors were written by trauma?

  2. What truths do I need to write over them?

  3. What would a new chapter in my healing story look like?

     Scripture References:
  • Romans 12:2 — “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind”
  • Isaiah 43:19 — “See, I am doing a new thing…”
