Description (YouTube / Spreaker)In this episode of Talks with Gallagher, Dr. Julie Caton unpacks trauma from a lifetime of clinical work: what truly counts as trauma, why some events shatter one person but not another, and how unhealed wounds can fuel chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, and even demonic oppression. She shares stories from institutions, prisons, child-protection work, and her own journey through cancer, a barn fire, marital breakdown, and more—always returning to Jesus as the essential Healer.​You’ll learn:

• The difference between a traumatic event and the emotional shock that follows.​
• How trauma in parents quietly shapes their children’s behavior and attachment.​
• Warning signs in kids (bedwetting, cruelty to animals, sudden behavior shifts) that should not be ignored.​
• Why body–soul–spirit must all be addressed for lasting freedom.​
• How unprocessed “honeypot” wounds attract spiritual “flies,” and why deliverance plus inner healing matters.​
• The 5 stages of death and dying (Kubler‑Ross) as a template for processing loss and trauma.​

Dr. Julie also introduces her books:

• Gateway to Trauma Repair – a gentle historical novel with 25 “Deeper Dives” to help survivors process abuse and PTSD through story and reflective exercises.​
• Soul Pain Revealed – a non‑fiction guide on suffering, mental health, and faith, including a full chapter on how to walk through suffering with Jesus.​

She closes by praying for listeners with known and hidden trauma, chronic pain, and parents concerned for their children, inviting Jesus’ finished work on the cross into each wound.​Learn more or contact Dr. Julie: drjuliecaton.com (Zoom counseling available).​
