How Do You Handle Trauma?

I’ve Discovered Four Different Ways People Respond to the Hard Things Life Brings

The question is, are you going to wait to discover how you respond to your massive thing, or are you going to try to build your life so as to predict a healthier response when it happens to you? Is it up to chance, or is it your choice how you respond?

This episode breaks down the four types of responses I’ve noticed after “The Massive Thing” or TMT happens. It doesn’t have to be chance for you, friend. But you can’t change your life until you change your mind. 

Scripture: Romans 12:2, Psalm 71:14
