Being Whole: 21 Days to Overcoming Relational TraumaSample

EMPOWERMENT:

Empowerment is the inner power that comes from hoping, believing and trusting in your inherent worth. This worth is usually diminished through trauma but restored through a life-changing relationship with God and others who have demonstrated the quality and character of godliness consistently.

Empowerment is a process: Empowerment is not something that happens overnight. It requires ongoing effort, support, and commitment. It may also involve setbacks and challenges along the way.

Empowerment involves building self-esteem and confidence: Empowerment is not just about providing resources and support. It is also about helping individuals and communities build their self-esteem and confidence, so they feel capable of making changes.

Empowerment is about creating sustainable change: Empowerment is not just about making short-term improvements. It is about creating long-term, sustainable change that can benefit individuals, communities, and society as a whole.
