Forgiveness Is For YOU - Overcome Trauma Through Forgiveness

Friends, What does it look like to feel safe again after experiencing church hurt? In this episode, we continue the conversation on healing from spiritual wounds by exploring a path forward, one that is honest, and rooted in encounter with Jesus in the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation. Through personal testimony and reflection, we look at how the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation offer more than ritual—they offer real healing through the presence of the Divine Physician. If you’ve felt distant, hesitant, or unsure about returning, this episode is a safe place to begin again.

Friends, In this episode Trauma-informed consultant and Neurosomatic Intelligence Practitioner Cendrine Hosoda shares her story of growing up in an evangelical church community in Switzerland where her father, a respected church elder, used Scripture and spiritual authority to control and manipulate his family. With courage and honesty, Cendrine reflects on what it was like to live inside a faith environment shaped by narcissis, and the long journey toward reclaiming her voice, her body, and her relationship with God. This conversation does not seek to sensationalize suffering. Instead, it offers hope that even in the presence of deep betrayal, healing and grace are possible. As Scripture reminds us in 1 Peter 2:19: "For whenever anyone bears the pain of unjust suffering because of consciousness of God, that is a grace." If you or someone you love has experienced spiritual manipulation, religious trauma, or abuse within a faith context, this conversation offers both validation and a path toward healing.

* Content Warning* This episode contains mature themes and is not appropriate for minors. Friends, In this vulnerable and sobering episode, I visit with Father John Michael Paul, a Catholic priest who discovered that the founder of his religious community had a decades-long history of sexual abuse. For someone who spent decades serving as a priest and leader in his community, the betrayal was spiritual, deeply personal, and formative. As someone who entered the Catholic Church shortly before the 2002 abuse crisis, I remember how destabilizing that season was for many of us. In today’s conversation, we explore what happens when the shepherd you trusted is revealed to be a wolf, and how truth, though painful, becomes the doorway to freedom. In this episode, we discuss: The impact of clergy sexual abuse on priests themselves Betrayal trauma within religious communities Spiritual fatherhood and spiritual disillusionment The difference between institutional loyalty and fidelity to truth How shame keeps abuse hidden The long road toward forgiveness What healing looks like when trust has been shattered A Note to Listeners If you have experienced betrayal within the Church, know this: your pain matters. Truth may take years to surface, but light always exposes what darkness tries to conceal. Forgiveness is not denial. It is not spiritual bypassing. It is a grace which is often slow, often costly, but real. “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” – John 8:32 Connect with Dr. Carron Partner with the mission: https://go.drcarron.com/FIFYPodcastGift Join the weekly newsletter: https://go.drcarron.com/newsletterfreegiftoptin Work with me 1:1 — Looking for shame‑free, nonjudgmental support on your healing journey?

Friends, In this episode of the ongoing series on spiritual abuse, I sit down with Catholic Counselor Paul Fahey to explore a subtle but deeply impactful layer of harm: the abuse of conscience. Many of us were taught to “follow our conscience,” but few of us were ever taught how a conscience is properly formed — or how it can be manipulated. When spiritual authority bypasses freedom, pressures compliance, or equates disagreement with sin, faith formation can quietly become control. Paul defines conscience through a Catholic lens and offers concrete examples of how it can be distorted in families, churches, and religious communities. We also discuss how parents can faithfully teach their children without crossing the line into coercion, and why healthy formation always respects human dignity and freedom. If you have ever struggled with religious guilt, fear-based teaching, or confusion about trusting your own moral judgment, this conversation will bring clarity and hope.

Friends, In this episode, I welcome Sr. Mary Stephen, founder of Restorative Catholic, to explore a restorative path forward for trauma survivors within the Catholic tradition. Sr. Mary Stephen shares how her vocation within a vocation led her to integrate somatic healing with Catholic spirituality, creating spaces where wounded hearts can safely encounter healing from the inside out. We discuss how trauma is stored in the body, why traditional spiritual practices sometimes fall short for trauma survivors, and how somatic pilgrimages can help restore trust, presence, and peace. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, your faith, or yourself after painful experiences within religious spaces, this episode invites you to consider a path of restoration rooted in compassion, embodiment, and grace.

*Content Warning* This episode contains content not suitable for minors. Please listen with discretion. Friends, In Episode 8, Catholic Therapist and mom, Lisa Leopold, and I discussed her experiences as a postulant in a religious community, and how the misinterpretation of the vow of obedience caused her and other sisters in the convent to experience spiritual abuse. In this episode, Lisa brings up another issue that is often missed when parents are faced with the aftermath of sexual abuse by a person in a position of authority. She reveals how taking sides can create an intolerable situation for families navigating healing. Lisa also speaks to the encouraging efforts being made by newer communities and reform-minded leaders who are working toward greater transparency and accountability in religious life. This episode is not about discouraging vocations. It is about ensuring that vocations flourish in environments that protect human dignity and authentic freedom. If you are discerning religious life, or know someone who is, this conversation offers important perspectives.

Content Warning: *This content is not appropriate for minors, so please use a headset or listen in their absence. This episode discusses experiences of spiritual abuse within the church. While we approach this conversation with respect for the Church and for religious vocations, some of the themes may be difficult for listeners who have experienced spiritual trauma. Please listen at your own pace and care for your heart as needed.* Friends, What happens when the vow of obedience that is meant to free the heart for Christ becomes a mechanism of control? In this episode of Forgiveness Is for YOU, I speak with Lisa Leopold about her experience as a postulant in a Catholic religious order and the spiritual abuse she encountered during formation. Together we explore how authority in religious life can become distorted, how the misuse of obedience can cause emotional and spiritual trauma, and what healing looks like on the other side. Spiritual abuse in the Church is often difficult to name, especially when it is cloaked in piety or justified as “God’s will.” Now a wife, mother, and licensed therapist, Lisa accompanies former religious and others who are healing from spiritual abuse. Her work sheds light on both the wounds and the hope for reform and transparency within religious communities.

Friends, In this opening episode of a new series, I begin a much-needed conversation about spiritual abuse: what it is, how it manifests, and why so many suffer in silence within church communities. Drawing from Pope Francis’ definition and addressing the dangers of clericalism, I explore how manipulation of conscience, misuse of authority, and distorted interpretations of Scripture can wound the faithful. I give a preview of upcoming episodes and use exhortations from the books of James and 1 Peter to encourage the Body of Christ to love another. This series is not about tearing down the Church, but about calling it higher so that true healing, accountability, and renewal can begin. Reference(s): Glatz, Carol (2021).

Friends, In a culture that often equates success with wealth and possessions, author and former special education teacher and school administrator Rosemary Olender invites us to rethink inheritance altogether. In this episode, we explore how character and forgiveness form a legacy that outlasts money, status, and material goods. Rosemary shares how forgiveness is not only a personal healing practice, but a formative virtue, one that shapes family culture, strengthens empathy, and influences generations to come. Together, we reflect on how parents and caregivers can model forgiveness in everyday life and intentionally pass on values that endure.

*Content warning* - Content not suitable for minors. Please listen with discretion. Friends, Many of us feel skeptical when someone says they’ve heard God or encountered Jesus in a tangible way. And yet, at the core of the human heart is a longing to be seen, known, and loved, especially in painful places. What happens when God breaks into a life marked by deep childhood trauma? In this episode, I reflect on how Jesus meets people exactly where they are, not only within the walls of faith or religious practice, but across denominations, belief systems, doubt, and even disbelief. My guest, author Lynn Busby, shares her story of surviving a childhood that could easily be the backdrop of a horror film. At just twelve years old, Lynn experienced a profound encounter with Jesus that revealed Christ as the Divine Physician, bringing healing, safety, and love in the midst of trauma.

Please listen at your own pace and tend to your heart as needed.

In this episode, Brittany Poppe and I explore: Trauma as a wound of the heart, body, and spirit How Scripture speaks to the brokenhearted The often-unspoken emotional impact of abortion Why abortion can be experienced as trauma, even years later The role of mercy, forgiveness, and faith in healing Finding hope and restoration after profound loss How Brittany now walks with other women on their healing journeys Brittany's Links: Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/abortion-recovery-for-christian-women-abortion-regret/id1668717310 Instagram: https://instagram.com/brittanypoppe Media Kit: https://brittanypoppe.com/media-kit Listener Invitation Lent is just around the corner, and it’s a meaningful time to examine our hearts — especially the places where anger, resentment, or bitterness may still linger.

Friends, Finding a therapist who truly “gets” you can be challenging, especially if you’ve experienced both painful and healing moments in therapy. In this episode, I’m joined by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Matthew Breuninger to explore what creates safety in the therapist-client relationship, why belonging is essential to healing, and how our relationship with God the Father can shape the therapeutic journey. We discuss what to look for in a therapist, how to discern when coaching has reached its limits, and the heart behind the KNOWN program, which Dr. Breuninger co-created with Isaac Wicker, a program I’ve personally participated in twice. This episode is for anyone who has felt unseen in therapy, struggled with trust or belonging, or is seeking deeper healing at the intersection of faith and mental health.

Friends, In this episode of Forgiveness Is for YOU, my guest, Mandy Horne shares how a medical crisis became the turning point that exposed an abusive relationship, revealed unexpected protection, and opened the door to a new calling in nursing. While recovering in the ICU, Mandy experienced both betrayal and God's grace through family, friends, strangers, and quiet moments where Christ made His presence known. We talk about how trauma clarifies truth, how forgiveness does not require denial, and how freedom often begins when we listen to what pain is teaching us. This episode is for anyone who has faced illness, emotional abuse, or family dysfunction and wondered whether healing and purpose were still possible on the other side.

As you listen to this episode, consider what it will take to let go in 2026. In this reflection episode, I explore: Why resentment often resurfaces during the holidays How pushing it down actually strengthens unforgiveness What it looks like to face resentment honestly and gently Practical steps for moving forward in the forgiveness process How releasing resentment prepares you to enter 2026 with freedom and clarity As Season 2 of Forgiveness is for YOU comes to an end, I share my gratitude for each of you who listen, share, support, and pray for this work.

Friends, In this episode of the Holiday Reflection Series, I'm revisiting one of the most-loved episodes from Season 1: What Forgiveness Is Not. The holiday season can stir up old wounds, from family dynamics, absence, grief, to unresolved tension. Many of us feel pressure to “just forgive,” even when our hearts aren’t ready. This episode offers gentle clarity: a grounded look at what forgiveness does not require, so you can release confusion, relieve pressure, and move toward peace at a pace that honors your healing. You’ll also hear two heartfelt listener reviews that remind us how powerful this healing journey can be. If you’d like me to read your review in a future episode, follow the instructions in the show notes and leave one on Apple Podcasts. Your words help this podcast reach more people who need compassion, understanding, and hope. If you have a story of overcoming adversity, faith and forgiveness, I'd love to connect. I'm lining up guests for 2026, and your story might just be what someone on the other side of the world needs to hear. Just email me at [email protected] to see if we're a good fit.

Friends, This episode is the first of three in a Holiday Mini-Series on Reflection, Healing, and Choice. As we enter the holy days of Christmas and prepare to bid farewell to 2025, I'm revisiting one of the most listened-to episodes of the Forgiveness is for YOU podcast: Self-Forgiveness & Internal Family Systems (IFS). The holidays often invite reflection, and sometimes a tendency to be hard on ourselves. This conversation offers a gentle reminder to approach every part of yourself with compassion. Through the lens of IFS, I explore: Why self-forgiveness is foundational to healing How IFS helps us understand and care for our “internal parts” The power of small, grace-filled steps toward wholeness How to meet yourself with patience, kindness, and truth As you listen, I invite you to slow down, breathe, and offer yourself the same tenderness God offers you. May this episode bring peace and encouragement to your Advent season. If you have a story to tell about overcoming adversity, returning to faith and forgiveness, I am lining up guests for 2026.

Friends, In this episode, I’m joined by Rosa Alejandro, founder of The Intentional Christian Woman and a woman whose story beautifully embodies grace, courage, and new beginnings. Rosa shares her journey through what she calls her “prodigal daughter” season, a time marked by stepping away from her faith, experiencing the pain of betrayal, and facing the end of her first marriage. With honesty and tenderness, Rosa talks about learning to trust again, choosing forgiveness even when it felt impossible, and how God gently led her back to faith and purpose. Today, she helps women return to God with intention, clarity, and hope. If you’ve ever questioned your faith, struggled with forgiveness, or wondered whether God can rebuild your life after heartbreak, this conversation is for you. It’s a reminder that restoration is always possible — and often begins in the places we least expect.

Friends, What happens when the label that once helped you heal begins to hold you back? In this follow-up to S2E43: Alcohol, the Brain and the Holidays, I continues my conversation with Christie Walker, the Catholic Sobriety Coach, who has been sober for nearly 29 years. What began as a practical talk about staying alcohol-free during the holidays evolved into a deeper reflection on identity, faith, and forgiveness. We explore the powerful question: “Do you still identify as a recovering alcoholic after nearly three decades of sobriety?” The answer opens the door to a heartfelt discussion about how recovery — like trauma healing — transforms not just our habits, but our sense of self. Together, we examine how forgiveness, grace, and spiritual growth help us release old labels and embrace who we’ve become. In This Episode The Catholic Sobriety Coach’s honest perspective on long-term recovery and identity How labels like addict or survivor can help at first — but limit us later Why forgiveness allows us to release shame and embrace a new self-concept The role of faith and grace in transforming identity Parallels between addiction recovery and trauma healing Christie Walker's Links: Website: http://thecatholicsobrietycoach.com/ IG: @thecatholicsobrietycoach Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-catholic-sobriety-podcast/id1658622848 5 Day FREE Sobriety Kickstart: https://the-catholic-sobriety-coach.myflodesk.com/5-day-sobriety-kick-start Connect with Dr. Carron Link to my weekly newsletter.

Friends, In this episode, I ask listeners to take a moment to pause and reflect on the impact of political violence and how it shapes collective trauma. Drawing from personal experiences and historical events, I explore how trauma resonates across communities and generations, and consider the first steps toward healing. I reflect on my own experiences of political violence and how it triggers past wounds. I discuss how trauma manifests in our nervous system and daily lives. I ask listeners to take steps to pause, process, and hold space for difficult emotions and listen to the Gospel of Jesus Christ exhorting us to treat others as we want to be treated.

Friends, Have you ever noticed someone apologizing before doing something wrong, or right before criticizing someone else? This is called a preemptive apology. While it may seem polite or humble, it’s actually a subtle barrier to trust and a roadblock to true forgiveness. Preemptive apologies create distance, erode integrity, and shift blame. By recognizing and avoiding them, we can build stronger relationships rooted in honesty, accountability, and real forgiveness. Listen now to uncover how to move beyond preemptive apologies and embrace a path of genuine healing and reconciliation.

Friends, In this special episode of Forgiveness Is for YOU with Dr. Carron Silva, I share a deeply personal tribute to my dear friend of 28 years, Rose Brinks, who recently passed away after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Rose was more than a friend—she was a force of nature. Fierce, faithful, and often unfiltered, she lived life on her terms and touched countless lives with her compassion and strength. From caring for the most vulnerable in her community to challenging me to grow in forgiveness, Rose left behind a legacy of resilience. Join me as I reflect on our friendship, the lessons she taught me about mercy, and how forgiveness can transform even the most tempestuous relationships. Whether you are navigating grief, reflecting on the impact of friendship, or seeking inspiration in the power of forgiveness, Rose’s story will leave a lasting imprint on your heart. In Loving Memory of Rose Brinks: Truly, a force to be reckoned with. Connect with Dr. Carron Link to my weekly newsletter.

Friends, In this episode, I offer insight and guidance for adult children navigating no contact or limited contact with parents. You'll hear reflections from my own story and insights on how to hold firm yet merciful boundaries, challenge inherited beliefs, and gently open the door to healing—even if reconciliation feels out of reach. In this episode, I explore: What to do when estrangement feels like the only safe option How to examine and challenge inherited family narratives and judgments The importance of self-forgiveness in healing fractured relationships Setting boundaries that are clear, kind, and protective of your well-being How to "zoom out" and see the generational context of family dynamics What to do when you’re labeled the black sheep for protecting your peace This episode is not about blaming or shaming—it’s about understanding, empowering, and creating a healing path grounded in truth, mercy, and emotional maturity.

Friends, In this episode, I dive deep into the painful phenomenon of family estrangement, where adult children enforce no-contact orders with their parents, leaving many elderly individuals isolated from their families and grandchildren.

I share practical tips for sidelined grandparents on how to navigate the chasm created by generational differences and past conflicts and offer a series of steps to foster healing, including taking an inventory of past injuries, respecting boundaries, and seeking professional help when needed.

Friends, In this episode, I draw connections between my experiences as an immigrant to the United States and the Gospel of Jesus Christ in light of recent social media experiences. There are things immigrants know that others don’t. The sacrifice is deep—cutting ties with home, family, traditions, and futures imagined. We lose birthdays and funerals, the smell of our mothers' food, and the feeling of our language being spoken without judgment. And now, as Catholic spaces online erupt with harsh, often dehumanizing rhetoric about immigrants—many of whom are people like me—I feel heartbreak. I exhort listeners to be merciful and mindful about their thoughts and use of language. This episode invites listeners from all backgrounds to reflect on mercy, generosity, and the human cost of freedom. Connect with Dr. Carron Link to my weekly newsletter.
