    045| Healing the Relationship with Self: Rediscovering Your God‑Given Identity with Healing Scriptures, Overcoming Childhood Trauma and Parental Neglect

    In Episode 045 of Heal from Parental Absence, Beverly Parraz opens the new monthly series Rewriting Relationships After Parental Absence: Identity, Healing, and God's Design by diving into the most foundational relationship of all — the one you have with yourself. Beverly explores how growing up with an absent or emotionally unavailable parent shapes the stories we tell about our own worth, the masks we wear to survive, and what God's Word says about who we truly are outside of the wound. With coaching-forward action steps, powerful Scripture, and a closing prayer, this episode is an invitation to begin seeing yourself the way God always has. Key Takeaways Children of absent parents often internalize absence as a reflection of their own worth — but that story is a lie, not the truth. Your wound and your identity are not the same thing. What happened to you does not define who you are. God's Word speaks a different identity over you: chosen, loved, seen, and called by name (Isaiah 43:1). Healing your past and rewriting your identity are two parallel journeys — and you don't have to wait to be "fully healed" to begin living in who God says you are. Practical steps like naming your survival mask, writing a "This Is Not My Story" letter, and building a daily "God Says I Am" list can begin the shift from wound-defined to God-defined identity. Scriptures Referenced Psalm 27:10 — "Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me." (NIV) Jeremiah 1:5 — "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart." (NIV) Isaiah 43:1 — "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine." (NIV) Journal Prompt Bright Souls, grab your journal. Write at the top of a fresh page: "Outside of the wound, I am…" and let yourself finish that sentence as many times as it takes. Not who you were told you are — but the you that exists in God's eyes: chosen, named, loved, and full of purpose. If nothing comes right away, write even one word, and ask God to show you more. He will.

    044| Peace Be Still: Rest, Trauma Healing, and Taking Ownership of Your Life

    Hello Bright Soul! In this gentle but powerful episode of Heal from Parental Absence, Beverly invites you into a week of rest, clarity, and nervous system peace. If you grew up with childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or parental absence, slowing down often feels unsafe. Your mind races. Your body stays on alert. Rest feels like a threat instead of a gift. But God calls us to something different. Beverly shares how a week of cleaning, decluttering, and reorganizing became a spiritual reset, a return to peace, and a reminder that rest is not laziness — it is obedience. Through Scripture, especially Mark 4:39 and Psalm 46, she shows how Jesus models authority, calm, and the power to speak to the storm: “Peace, be still.” Inside this episode you’ll learn: • why high achievers with trauma struggle to stop • how survival mode keeps your nervous system on high alert • why rest is a spiritual discipline, not a weakness • how Jesus demonstrates authority over chaos • how to recognize when your body is shutting down • why pushing past God’s invitation to rest leads to burnout • how to take ownership of your life through stillness • how to invite God’s peace into your home, mind, and schedule Beverly also shares a personal story of hitting emotional overload during college, how her body forced her to stop, and the healing that came when she finally surrendered to rest. Coaching Corner: Where in your life do you need to say, “Peace, be still”? Your home? Your schedule? Your relationships? Your mind? If you feel stuck between survival mode and the life God is calling you into, Beverly offers 30‑minute clarity calls to help you transition with support, accountability, and a plan.

    043| He Restores My Soul: Rest, Safety, and Nervous System Healing

    Hello Bright Souls In this powerful episode of Heal from Parental Absence, Beverly guides you through the deep, restorative practice of rest — a spiritual, emotional, and nervous‑system reset that every trauma survivor needs. If you grew up with childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or parental absence, rest often feels unsafe, unfamiliar, or even impossible. But God designed rest as a pathway to healing, stability, and soul restoration. Beverly shares her personal story of instability after her accident, how trauma heightened her senses, and why survivors often live in survival mode, hypervigilance, and emotional defensiveness. Through Scripture, especially Psalms 23, she reveals how God leads us beside still waters, restores our souls, and invites us into a rest that heals the nervous system, calms trauma responses, and rebuilds a sense of safety. This episode explores: • Rest as a trauma‑healing tool • Nervous system overload and emotional burnout • How instability triggers childhood trauma patterns • Faith‑based healing for survivors of parental absence • God’s design for rest, restoration, and spiritual grounding • How to schedule rest, create boundaries, and protect your peace • Why tomorrow is not promised — and why rest must happen today If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, unsafe in your own body, or disconnected from God’s peace, this episode will help you slow down, breathe, and let God restore your soul. Bright soul, you deserve rest. You deserve safety. You deserve restoration. Tune in and learn how to step out of survival mode and into God‑led stillness. ✨ Resources Mentioned MINI COURSE FOR $27 NORMALLY $97 AND BONUS BRIGHT SOUL JOURNAL LIMITED TIME  https://ninecrownsofgrace.life/mini-course 📩 Questions or comments? ninecrownsofgrace@gmail.com 💛 Support the mission CashApp: $9CrownsofGrace   Thank you in advance.
