In this powerful episode of The Collide Podcast, we sit down with Terra A. Mattson, a licensed marriage and family therapist, author, and co-founder of Living Wholehearted. With over two decades of experience, Terra has helped countless women and girls navigate their trauma, embrace their God-given identity, and live lives rooted in grace and integrity.
We explore the transformative power of story work—the process of naming our pain and addressing the baggage, wounds, and trauma we carry. Terra discusses the consequences of unresolved trauma and the profound generational impact of doing the hard work of healing. She shares biblical truths and clinical wisdom, inviting us into a courageous life grounded in Jesus.
