Episode summary:
Your nervous system might be telling the truth your mouth avoids. Tight jaw, tense shoulders, constant edge? Learn why you’re still so stuck, and how “Spiritual Surgery” may be what you need to reach real healing.
“Your heart has a voice, and out of it flows the issues of life. What are you saying about your situation? Honesty with God about what’s hidden can be the first step toward healing.”
Jemese LaChel Drewery, LCSW
Why do you still feel stuck, even though you love Jesus, pray faithfully, and seem to have it all together?
If you’re the strong one everyone depends on, this episode is for you.
Maybe you’re successful in your career, leading in ministry, raising a family, or carrying everyone else’s burdens. From the outside, you look fine. But behind closed doors, you’re struggling with anxiety, unresolved trauma, emotional exhaustion, difficult relationships, people-pleasing, or wounds from your past that just won’t seem to heal.
In this episode, Christian trauma therapist Jemese LaChel Drewery, LCSW, CCTP, explores why so many high-achieving Christian women remain stuck in cycles of fear, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and unhealthy patterns, and how Jesus can heal you at the root, not just the symptoms.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- Why success doesn’t always equal healing
- How to identify what’s really keeping you stuck
- The connection between faith, emotional health, and your nervous system
- What it looks like to invite Jesus into deeper healing, freedom, and heart transformation
