Yesterday’s trauma can become today’s triumph

Posted September 19, 2019

What’s your story? Are yesterday’s wounds injuring you and those around you in the present?

Counselor Fred Trainer has spent decades working with at-risk youth through De La Salle Vocational School, an educational and behavioral program operated by archdiocesan Catholic Social Services.

In this episode of Inside CatholicPhilly.com, Trainer draws on his long experience to describe how coming to terms with past trauma can free you to forgive, and to embrace hope and healing in Christ.
