| Summary: | Scholars in different disciplines have begun to converge in their answer to the fundamental question, “what does it mean to be a unique person.” Writers in the fields of psychology, neurology and theology have begun to address the fact that identity is tied to the narratives we create, more than the events that occur in life.

In this essay, I propose the use of traumatic Biblical narratives in pastoral counseling to assist the client in articulating personal traumatic episodes and beginning the process of integrating traumatic experiences and initiating growth. |
