The Missing Piece in Trauma Recovery - Where Was Christ?

Childhood trauma affects every dimension of the human person. It shapes our relationships, our emotions, our bodies—and even the way we remember our lives. In this video, I explore one dimension of trauma recovery that is often overlooked. Drawing on St John of the Cross, Catholic theology and clinical psychology, we consider what it means to transform memory in hope. If Christ truly is Emmanuel—God with us—what does His presence mean for our deepest wounds? My hope is that this reflection offers a genuinely Catholic perspective on trauma, healing and the transformative power of Christ.
