The Healing Method: Day 4 | Listen to Wise Counsel & Invite God Into Your Healing

Saved and Strong Podcast | Hosted by Carrie Watts, RN, BSN

Welcome to Day 4 of The Healing Method! Today, we're combining two powerful steps in the healing journey:

L — Listen to Wise Counsel

I — Invite God Into Your Healing

In this episode of Saved and Strong, Carrie Watts shares her personal experience with childhood trauma, counseling, and discovering that healing involves more than just our physical and emotional well-being. Our spiritual health matters, too.

As a nurse, author, and survivor, Carrie understands the importance of seeking help from trusted professionals while recognizing God as the ultimate source of healing.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• Why wise counsel matters: Healing doesn't have to happen in isolation. A trusted counselor, mentor, or spiritual leader can help you process painful experiences and move forward.

• The power of being heard: Carrie shares how one simple question from her first counselor—"How can I help you?"—opened the door to her healing journey.

• Finding hope in shared stories: Discover how reading about other women who experienced similar childhood trauma helped Carrie realize she wasn't alone.

• Learning to trust again: When you've experienced betrayal or abuse, trusting others can feel overwhelming. Wise counsel can help you begin rebuilding that trust.

• Inviting God into your healing: Prayer, Scripture, and a personal relationship with Jesus can provide strength, comfort, and direction throughout the healing process.

A Reminder About Healing

God is our ultimate Healer, but He also works through people.

Counselors, therapists, nurses, physicians, pastors, and trusted friends can become instruments of His care. Seeking professional help is not a lack of faith. It can be an important step toward healing.

You can trust Jesus and seek counseling. You don't have to choose between the two.

Keep Moving Forward

Your childhood trauma may be part of your story, but it doesn't have to define your future.

You are seen. You are heard. You are loved.

And your healing matters.

Join Carrie for the next steps in The Healing Method, a seven-part journey designed to help women heal from hard things, rediscover their worth, and step boldly into their God-given purpose.

If you're navigating childhood trauma or abuse, consider seeking support from a licensed, trauma-informed mental health professional. Faith and professional counseling can work together as part of your healing journey.
