Скачать или смотреть Why Women of God Can’t Nurture in Toxic Relationships: Understanding Stress and Trauma

Tune in to learn how understanding your nervous system, stress, and God’s design for you can help you make wiser decisions when it comes to relationships, your body, and your emotional health.

In today’s video, I’m speaking directly to the women of God, addressing a crucial issue in relationships—why women can’t nurture in toxic relationships. As women, we are naturally nurturing, but we need to recognize that we can’t offer that nurturing space in the early stages of dating or in a relationship if it hasn’t been established by our partners first. The Bible calls men to be leaders, it’s essential that men create a safe place for us so that we can offer the nurturing experience they need.1 Corinthians 11:3 How can we expect to be helpmeets in a poisonous environment?

I’ll be diving into the stress and trauma that occur in relationships when that balance isn’t created, and how it directly impacts our bodies. When a woman’s nervous system is in fight, flight, or freeze mode for prolonged periods due to stress or emotional turmoil, it can lead to harmful physical effects, including illnesses and even Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), which can affect us well into adulthood. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and God designed us to honor and care for them.

It’s important to pay attention to the signs our bodies give us and recognize that in dating, especially in the beginning, if something feels off, it could be an indicator of deeper stress or harm. We are not called to sacrifice our well-being for the sake of a relationship. #AdverseChildhoodExperiences #BodyAsTemple #FightFlightFreeze #EmotionalHealth #godlydating
