Pasta with the Pastor – Session 2 Episode Title: The Wounds We Carry: Trauma, Faith & the Healing Journey Welcome to Session 2 of our special series, Pasta with our Pastor, where meaningful conversations are shared over a meal and in the spirit of community. In this deeply moving episode, Fr. Nareg Terterian unpacks the emotional and spiritual weight of trauma and grief, offering both psychological insight and Christian perspective. Drawing on real-life stories, theology, and clinical experience, this session examines how suppressed and repressed emotions can influence our relationships, our sense of self, and our walk with God. Topics covered include: * The difference between repression and suppression * Childhood trauma and emotional neglect * Healing through acknowledgment, compassion, and faith * Jesus as the Wounded Healer * The connection between emotional and spiritual maturity You’ll also hear reflections on Scripture, the value of emotional honesty, and how true healing requires both sadness and anger, as well as vulnerability and grace. Gather around the table. There's room for your story, too.
