Easter Sunday: Resurrection as Integration—The Gospel for the Fragmented Self
Easter Sunday: Resurrection as Integration—The Gospel for the Fragmented Self
Abstract:
Easter Sunday proclaims the resurrection of Christ—a victory over death, sin, and despair. For survivors of Complex PTSD, this is not merely a doctrinal cornerstone but a deeply personal invitation: to believe that even the most fragmented life is not beyond restoration. The resurrection is not about denying trauma, but redeeming it. It is God’s insistence that death is never the final word—not even the living death trauma often creates within us. Easter is the promise that integration, joy, and identity are possible—even after the crucifixion of everything we thought we were.
