## Resource

Please join Dani Joy and I as we continue our conversation about spiritual trauma and adoption, using the book Holy Hurt: Spiritual Trauma and the Process of Healing, by Hillary L McBride, PhD. We have reached page 28, and are talking about McBrides' lists of the physical, social, relational and spiritual symptoms of spiritual trauma. Dani Joy can be found at: https://medium.com/@danijoy Holy Hurt: https://hillarylmcbride.com/holy-hurt-book/ https://concernedunitedbirthparents.org/ https://www.facebook.com Adoption Trauma Network https://rainn.org/ https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ The opinions of the host and their guest are just that, their opinions. The host is not a lawyer, a therapist or an adoption professional. Thank you for listening!
