Can emotional trauma spark radical transformation?

In one of his Sufi teachings, Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe mentions that emotional trauma is common, affecting many people. Almost every child has experienced extremely traumatic events, and it makes an impact on one’s ability to love, trust, and believe in their worthiness.

Emotional trauma often keeps people from living life to the best of their abilities. However, it must be viewed as an opportunity for one to have deep unity with God. It can become a catalyst for radical transformation and spiritual mastery. Regardless of the kind of emotional trauma that one has gone through, they must know why they are experiencing it to know how to heal it and use it as a fount of transformation and deeper connection with God.

A gift and an invitation from God, emotional trauma must be thought of as a means for one to experience radical transformation. A person can either face it head-on or get rid of it altogether to heal from trauma, Walking through past trauma allows people not to get stuck in the situation, but eventually rise above it.

Medical spiritual healers like Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe are in charge of leading a person in walking through their trauma, which starts with feeling the trauma, then experiencing it in a safe way. Through God’s help, a person can successfully walk through their emotional trauma and achieve radical transformation. When running on God’s power, a person’s health, their sense of wellbeing and purpose, and relationships with other people in their life can make a huge difference.
