“It Wasn’t Normal, It Was Actually Trauma”
That’s what Peter realized as he began to move into his adult life. That the emotional and physical abuse from his dad and mom was not normal.
Dr. Peter Newhouse CEO of Winning At Home joins the podcast to share his journey from trauma to healing and to bring hope for healing to you!
The trauma made Peter really angry, but he shares about the first steps he took toward healing. He also shares the three phases of recovering from trauma: bondage, change, and freedom.
A Perry and Shawna listener shares with Peter, “Last year I shared some painful memories with my mom of her physically abusing me as a child. Mom had turned her life around and was not that person anymore. A few days after I shared that, mom died.
I have such deep regret that I ever shared that with her. I can barely breath when I think about it.” Peter offers some hope.
Last, healing from trauma is not a quick fix. There’s not a silver bullet that makes everything better overnight. It’s a journey, sometimes springing forward, sometimes setbacks. But there is hope! Check out Peter’s new book, Healing Through Trauma.

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
