| Summary: | The Christian spiritual practice of John of the Cross and the trauma recovery practice of Judith Herman both employ relational theories of healing change. This is a constructive claim that aims to facilitate greater communication between religious and secular approaches to trauma. It is demonstrated through emphases on two dynamics that can increase knowledge and love of self and others, namely empowerment and a three-fold, open-ended process of transformation. Correlating John’s collected works and Herman's classic Trauma and Recovery , this essay gathers wisdom for healing vulnerable relational selves. Dieser Aufsatz korreliert die geistliche Praxis des Johannes vom Kreuz mit dem Ansatz der Traumatherapie nach Judith Herman. Er geht der These nach, dass beide Denker*innen die Heilung von Traumata als einen relationalen Prozess auffassen. Der Dialog zwischen den exemplarischen religiösen und säkularen Zugängen trägt daher zu einem tieferen Verständnis der zugrundeliegenden menschlichen Dynamiken bei, wie die Autorin an den Begriffen Empowerment und Transformation erläutert. |
