This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken sits down with a longtime client who is sharing her story anonymously—a story marked by profound trauma, years of searching for answers, and ultimately, a testimony centered on the faithfulness of Jesus.

For many years, today's guest knew there were parts of her story that continued to affect her, even after spending significant time in counseling and trying to understand her past. Her history included childhood emotional, physical, sexual, and spiritual abuse, including experiences she identifies as SRA.

When she was first introduced to Splankna, she was skeptical.

But over time, working through her story in a way that incorporated her faith, emotions, body, and past experiences became an important part of her personal journey toward greater freedom.

In this deeply personal conversation, Laura and her guest talk less about the details of what happened to her and more about what Jesus has done in her life since.

This is not an episode about giving darkness center stage.

It's a story about what can happen when someone who has lived through tremendous pain begins to experience safety, connection, hope, and freedom—and discovers that her past does not get the final word.
