“So much of what we call abnormality in this culture is actually normal responses to an abnormal culture. The abnormality does not reside in the pathology of individuals, but in the very culture that drives people into suffering and dysfunction.” Dr. Gabor Mate #traumainformed

Traumas suggest we are worthless and do not matter. Talking tells the truth and gives dignity because the story matters as does its impact.

Silence is no virtue; it is a vice times two for it contains indifference to the victims and complicity with evil.

The work of redemption in broken places is a hard and dark place to go but it is also a place of great beauty and hope. Shackles fall away, crippled feet run, stooped backs stand straight, truth embraced and hopes bloom.

We want to give a big thumbs up to a great career to Earl Bennett, who is officially retiring this week! Earl had an incredible career as manager and broker of our Ottawa Valley offices. In his retirement, Earl has two beautiful granddaughters to spoil. #TeamMcDougall

Every time we treat someone with dignity rather than shame, respect rather than disregard, concern rather than exploitation, kindness rather than brutality and careful attention rather than turning away – we are doing things that are the reverse of trauma and evil.

When we let divisions and differences within the body of Christ divide us, then something other than our Lord Christ is ascendant. When we turn aside from those wounded in our midst, according to Jesus, we have turned aside from Him.

All the perpetrator asks is that the bystander do nothing. [They] appeal to the universal desire to see, hear, and speak no evil. The victim, on the contrary, asks the bystander to share the burden of pain. The victim demands action, engagement, and remembering. Judith Herman 1
