How Trauma Is Destroying Your Relationships (And What To Do About It)
In today's video I'm talking about something I see every single week in my counseling practice which is how unhealed trauma silently destroys relationships. I cover: why you attract the same people, how triggers hijack your reactions, why intimacy feels dangerous, the cycle that keeps repeating, and what healing actually looks like.My new e-book 'The Wounds We Carry' goes even deeper.

I Love You, So Why Do We Fight?
Conflict are inevitable in relationships. I think of them as a necessary evil. We may not like them, but they provide a better understanding of each other as well as ourselves. Conflicts can reveal hidden trauma and pain that trigger us.The Bible says in Amos 3:3 that two people cannot walk together without agreeing on a direction. Some times, we need to disagree to agree on a destination, and how we intend to arrive there safely. It’s not so much about the disagreements, but how they are resolved and how both parties proceed moving forward. It’s not always about trouble free journeys, but safe landing.For questions and counseling, send a DM to @heartdropswithsuess

Valentine Episode feat. KeleChukwu
Valentine's Day often focuses on roses, chocolates, and grand gestures, but as Christians, we know that true love goes far beyond that. Secular love can be fleeting, selfish, and conditional, focused on feelings and temporary moments. But God's love is something deeper, unwavering, and eternal. It’s unconditional, sacrificial, and rooted in Christ. It’s the love that calls us to serve, forgive, and cherish one another through all seasons of life.This Valentine’s, let’s remember the ultimate expression of love which is Jesus’ sacrifice for us. Let’s celebrate not just romantic love, but the love we are called to share with everyone, reflecting His love in all we do.
