St.Thérèse & Trauma: The Real Story of Her Soul (Part 2)
Ascension Team
Many of our ongoing struggles trace back to deeper wounds—and this was certainly true for St. Thérèse. In part two of this series, Dr. Sri continues to explore the childhood traumas that affected St.Thérèse and more importantly, how God gave her the grace to do His will in the midst of them.

Quotes
"Thérèse was not healed of her hypersensitivity. Rather, she was given the strength to deal with it. Her father's remark deeply hurt Therese, but she received the strength not to give into her tears. Her feelings were not changed. Rather, she was given the strength to control them, forcing back my tears and controlling the poundings of my heart."—Fr. Mark Foley
"God did not remove Thérèse from the battle of her emotions, but gave her the fortitude to remain in the battle."— Fr. Mark Foley
"St.Thérèse did not make it a goal to get beyond the effects of her childhood, but to do the will of God in the midst of them. Theres understood that the emotional wounds of her childhood were not obstacles to spiritual growth, but the context of growing in holiness.."— Fr. Mark Foley
