Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that arises after experiencing an intense trauma. Symptoms like flashbacks, emotional numbness, and anxiety that can affect daily life. For many, faith in God becomes a vital part of the healing journey. Spiritual beliefs can offer comfort, purpose, and a renewed sense of hope when life feels like a severe storm. We can often turn to prayer, scripture, and community groups to navigate the storms of life. Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted". God sees our wounds and wants to walk us through to recovery.
Faith does not erase PTSD, but it can offer resilience, forgiveness, and inner peace. Adding spiritual support with therapy can create a holistic path to healing, giving an emotional support tool to help rebuild lives.
