- Title
Empowerment and Transformation: Correlating John of the Cross and Judith Herman for Trauma Healing.
- Authors
DuBois, Heather M.
- Abstract
The Christian spiritual practice of John of the Cross and the trauma recovery practice of Judith Herman both employ relational theories of healing change. This is a constructive claim that aims to facilitate greater communication between religious and secular approaches to trauma. It is demonstrated through emphases on two dynamics that can increase knowledge and love of self and others, namely empowerment and a three-fold, open-ended process of transformation. Correlating John's collected works and Herman's classic Trauma and Recovery, this essay gathers wisdom for healing vulnerable relational selves.
