Overcoming Past Trauma: Healing Through Music and Faith
Have you ever had a song come on at just the right time—like it was meant for you in that exact moment? One of those songs that feels like it’s speaking straight to your heart, reminding you of who you are when you’ve forgotten?

That happened to me recently. I was sipping my morning coffee when Lauren Daigle’s You Say started playing. Even after almost eight years of being out of one of my most toxic relationships, I’m still on this healing journey. And let me tell you… I didn’t realize how much I needed those words until they hit me.

Why Music Hits Different

Music isn’t just sound—it’s emotion. It’s like someone else puts words to the feelings we’ve buried or struggled to name. Sometimes, a song can reach places no therapy session or pep talk can touch.

You Say is one of those songs. It’s been an anchor for me more times than I can count. When doubt creeps in, when the old lies replay in my mind, those lyrics remind me: I am worthy. I am loved. I am not alone.

Healing in the Lyrics

The tug-of-war between doubt and self-belief is real. Trauma survivors know it too well. That inner voice that says, you’re not enough—music has a way of drowning it out with truth.

For me, faith takes those lyrics even deeper. It’s not just a catchy chorus; it’s a reminder of what God says about me versus what my past tried to make me believe. That’s powerful.

Music + Faith = Healing

Here’s what I’ve found: music by itself is healing, but when I combine it with faith, it feels unshakable. Faith gives me purpose. Music gives me comfort. Together, they create this space where I can breathe again, where healing feels possible, even on the tough days.

Because let’s be honest—healing isn’t a straight line. Words spoken years ago can still echo. But little by little, faith and music help me replace those echoes with something better.

Let’s Walk This Road Together

If you’re walking through your own healing season, I want you to know something—you’re not alone. Truly.

That’s why I created a free community for women like us. It’s a place to share stories, favorite songs, encouragement, and those reminders we all need when life feels heavy.

We don’t have to do this alone. Together, we can turn pain into power, remind each other of our worth, and cheer each other on as we rise.
