Pastors face impossible expectations—counselor, trauma specialist, addiction expert—while caring deeply for their congregations. At New Ground Counseling, we bridge the gap, partnering with churches to provide trusted, Christ-centered mental health care. Hear the story of why the church needs therapists and how we’re helping pastors send people to trusted names, not Google.
“Trauma, Church Hurt & the Body: A Conversation on Healing Through Therapy (with Nathalie DiDomenico)” What is trauma, and how does it affect our emotions, bodies, and relationships? In this interview, trauma therapist Nathalie DiDomenico explains what trauma really is, why it matters, and how therapy can help us heal.
We cover:
Who experiences trauma (spoiler: everyone is impacted)
What “spiritual trauma” and “church hurt” mean
How trauma shows up in the body and emotions
Eating disorders, emotional trust, and reconnecting to our bodies
The role of curiosity and storytelling in healing
Why it’s normal to feel nervous about starting therapy

🎙️ Why is Story (and Narrative) Important?
In this conversation, therapist Nathalie DiDomenico explores how the stories we tell — and the stories told about us — shape our identity, our relationships, and the way we move through the world.
Nathalie shares why she begins therapy by inviting clients to tell stories from their lives, and how those narratives offer a window into a person’s self-perception, their worldview, and their deepest internal messages. She also offers a powerful example from many women’s experiences: being labeled “dramatic.” Together, we unpack how these early narratives often lead us to distrust our emotions, minimize sensitivity, or internalize others’ projections as truth.
