Helping Friends Through Trauma and Grief with Guest Carrie O’Toole

http://amyelaine.com | Is it worth the risk to share your story, to invite others into your mess, to be authentic and real for the sake of Christ? I believe it is and so does my special guest this week on Real Victory Radio, Carrie O’Toole of Carrie O’Toole Ministries. She’s a Christian counselor, life coach, author, filmmaker, and most of all, friend.

Listen in as Carrie and I talk about trauma and how to come alongside others in their grief! It’s a powerful and practical episode! So, if you’re dealing with grief or loss or trauma or know someone who is (that pretty much covers all y’all) then listen in and learn how to be a better friend in times of trauma and need.
