They unpack the difference between co-regulation and emotional enmeshment, how to recognize when a situation becomes emotionally unsafe, and why many people struggle to navigate their emotions alone—especially when childhood trauma is involved.Pam explains how God models co-regulation for us, meeting us in our chaos with calm, presence, and unconditional love. She also shares practical steps for increasing emotional awareness, building supportive friendships, and becoming curious about your internal world instead of overwhelmed by it.If you’ve ever felt stuck, shut down, or unsure how to process your feelings in a healthy way, this conversation will give you language, tools, and hope for your healing journey.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhat co-regulation is and why it’s essential for emotional healthHow childhood trauma shapes emotional patterns in adulthoodDistinguishing co-regulation from enmeshmentSigns an emotional situation is becoming unsafeWhy supportive friendships matter more than we thinkThe role of faith, community, and God’s presence in emotional healingCommunication tools that strengthen connectionHow grief, anger, and fear show up in the bodyPractical steps for emotional regulation and self-awarenessKey TakeawaysYou don’t have to heal alone—connection is a catalyst.Emotional safety is foundational for healthy relationships.Curiosity about your emotions leads to growth and clarity.God models calm presence, providing an anchor during chaos.Supportive relationships help repair old emotional patterns.Memorable Quotes“Jesus is our anchor in chaos.”“We need relationships to heal.”“Be curious about your emotions.”Connect with Guest: Pam YangYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HisPurposePrevailsCounseling in Wisconsin: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/pam-yang-eau-claire-wi/1164730Connect with Julie & Room to BloomInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/frombudtobloomministry/Website: https://frombudtobloom.com/FREE Biblical Breathwork Audio Track, When Anxiety StrikesTags / SEO Keywordsco-regulation, emotional healing, Christian mental health, communication, emotional safety, childhood trauma, relationships, mental health support, faith and healing, personal growth, emotional regulation, spiritual formation, women’s mental healthDisclaimerThis podcast is not a replacement for medical or mental health care, nor does it establish a professional relationship between host, guest, and audience.

💛 Welcome to the Room to Bloom Podcast, a space dedicated to compassionate conversations about trauma, healing through faith, and tools that support the nervous system. In this episode, host Julie Rebboah sits down with Rachel Powell of Hope Speaker (https://www.hopespeaker.com), a survivor of childhood trauma, a widow, an advocate for suicide prevention, and a passionate voice for widowed parents seeking hope and stability for their children. Rachel shares her powerful story of navigating grief, rebuilding life after loss, and embracing whole-self healing through both biblical wisdom and practical support.Together we explore the effects of trauma, how the body keeps score, and why somatic therapies such as breathwork, mindfulness, and other body-based practices (ones aligned with the Christian worldview) can play a crucial role in emotional healing. Rachel explains how understanding her own nervous system responses helped her shift from fear to peace, and why the Christian community must speak more openly about mental health, therapy, and the importance of safe relationships. We also discuss misconceptions in the church surrounding these healing tools, emphasizing that science and faith are not opposites — they complement one another beautifully when we consider how God designed the whole person. Rachel offers heartfelt insight into supporting children through trauma, creating safety at home, and recognizing when a therapy-based approach can help a child heal with resilience and compassion.🌼 Free Resource for Anxiety & Overwhelm: 🎧 Biblical Breathwork Track — “When Anxiety Strikes” https://from-bud-to-bloom-ministry.kit.com/914a7abc7c🌱 Key TakeawaysHealing is most effective when we combine both top-down approaches like CBT with bottom-up practices that support the nervous system.
