Medical missionaries often work with individuals facing significant mental and emotional distress. Depression, anxiety, chronic worry, and stress are not just psychological burdens but can also affect physical health, relationships, and spiritual well-being. A trauma-informed approach helps medical missionaries provide compassionate and effective care by recognizing the widespread impact of trauma, avoiding re-traumatization, and fostering resilience and healing.

This guide outlines essential trauma-informed principles and practical strategies for integrating them into missionary work, along with Biblical encouragement and reflection questions for deeper engagement.

WHAT'S IN THE GUIDE:

• Trauma-informed care guide modelled off Isaiah 58:12
• Case studies & treatment plan from Mind Character & Personality vol. 2
• Trauma-informed care checklist 

Self-discovery is a life long quest. However, many are unaware of what it really takes to answer the question who am I?

In the self-discovery workbook and audio, I have given some handy tools to be able to ask questions you didn't know how to formulate so that you can answer this timeless question

Many Christians shy away from establishing boundaries under the assumption that it may conflict with their faith.  However, the truth is that every flourishing relationship, be it with family, friends, or colleagues, thrives on the bedrock of well-defined boundaries. Boundaries are not about building walls but about creating a framework that sets the tone for respectful and meaningful interactions.

If you desire relationships characterised by longevity, mutual understanding, and genuine connection, this audio series serves as a valuable resource. Discover the art of leaving interactions feeling truly seen, heard, and valued.

Throughout the three-part series, we explore instances in the Bible where boundaries are demonstrated and extract lessons that remain relevant in today’s context.

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment as you embrace the liberating truth that setting boundaries is not only compatible with Christian values but also essential for building lasting and meaningful connections. Let “Boundaries and Christian Women” be your companion in cultivating relationships that honour both your faith and your individuality.

Negative automatic thoughts are subtle and repetitive thoughts that occur in response to everyday events.  These thoughts are often irrational and can generate feelings of anxiety and fear.  In this audio, I will teach you my three-step strategy to get rid of negative thoughts.
