TRAUMA & FEELING ABANDONED BY HASHEM [#18658]

January 28, 2022

QUESTION:

I went through a difficult trauma several years ago. I feel like my mind doesn’t work anymore. I can’t think about Hashem because I feel like He abandoned me, chas v’shalom. What can I do to get out my broken state?

ANSWER:

(1) Have pure emunah in Hashem. (2) Connect to the strongest good ability that you have in your soul (as explained in sefer Hakarah Atzmis, Self-Recognition & Self-Actualization), and this is the source of all healing for the soul. (3) Besides for the above, make sure to professionally deal with the trauma.
