I don’t know if you noticed, but last week’s blogs hit an abrupt pause. That’s because I was in the middle of something we all go through as humans, time and time again—sometimes back to back—whether we recognize it or not: a transition.
Truthfully, I’m still transitioning. We are in a "moved out of one apartment and sleeping in hotels right now" type of transition. We are in a "send the kids to grandma’s house because we don’t know how long this is going to take" kind of transition. We are in a "doing this in obedience and with confidence that He will come through" type of transition.
Have you ever been in one of those "difficult to explain, so please don’t ask" kinds of transitions? Well, this is at least my sixth major one.
Who said Christians don’t need counseling? They must not have ever had to experience something that didn’t make logical sense. If you’ve never had to go through something that didn’t make sense, are you even living by faith at that point?
I’m not saying that everyone should be transitioning like this. I’m saying that everyone does transition, and if you’re a Christian, you’ve probably prayerfully transitioned without knowing the whole plan. This is all too literally that “to a land I will show you” (Gen 12:1) type of faith, but each of us has a promised land that God is leading us to.
The wars we have to fight to get there are not accidental or necessarily a sign of judgment. They are often a sign of advancement and obedience. However, without the right kind of counsel, they can leave a mark on our perception of God’s goodness. It can cause us to pick up anxieties, fears, and even shame; because we don’t talk enough about how jolting it can be to walk by faith.
In case you’re wondering, I am at peace and all is well. This transition, however, did make me think of you, and those who may have left a transition or two with scars. Doing things in the name of the Lord for obedience’s sake is not easy, but the weight of shame can be even more unbearable.
This is one of the reasons why Flamingo Trauma Recovery exists. Not just so that people can talk about God in their therapy session, but so that we can heal from the tears of transition.
These are the kinds of transitions that shake foundations. And when people are in them, they come to you (the therapist, the coach, the pastor, the mentor) searching for direction, clarity, and something to hold on to.
But here’s the thing: transitions like these often don’t come with answers. They come with groaning. With stretching. With silence and surrender. I want people to know that faith is not just a hope and belief, it is a path. Grace keeps us focused on this path so that we can reach our destination even when hope and belief reach an all time low.
So what do you say when there’s no quick fix— and hardly any faith?
How do you hold someone when they feel like the floor has dropped out from under them?
That’s why the Trauma-Informed Spiritual Intervention framework was created.
It equips professionals like you to walk with people through painful, disorienting transitions—not with platitudes, but with presence. Not with fear of saying the wrong thing, but with confidence that your words and your silence can both be holy.
Let me put it like this: One of the most sacred pictures of transition is birth.
For the baby, they are just moments from being ejected from perfect warmth and comfort to breathing oxygen into their tiny lungs for the first time. For the mother, she is in or approaching full dilation, and her contractions become more intense and more frequent.
This is where many mothers, including myself, often wonder if they can make it to the promise of a child. And even after labor is done and the child is in arms, they may forget the pain—but still remember aspects of the care they received when they were their most vulnerable.
This is exactly why the way you show up during someone’s transition matters. It's less about what you say and more about how you see them—how you understand the psychological, spiritual, and emotional terrain they’re navigating.
Because if we’re honest, people don’t usually leave transitions unscarred. They may carry shame, confusion, or exhaustion from “doing what God asked” and still feeling broken by the process.
The TISI framework helps you show up in those moments with more than just encouragement. It helps you show up prepared.
If you’ve ever felt unsure of what to say—or how to integrate faith and trauma-informed care in moments like these—then this was made for you.
You support others through transition. Now it’s time to get equipped.
With care,
