Redeeming Heartache and Trauma with Dan Allender and Cathy Loezel
Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why did this happen to me?”
Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why did this happen to me?”
When we listen to guests of this show, authors of bestselling books, or public speakers, one thing is clear: they have figured out that “why”.
It seems so clear when they tell their stories. They usually seem to come full circle with the purpose or moral wrapped in a bow ready to be gifted to the world.
Here’s what I’ve learned though: it’s very rare to find the meaning behind your own experiences if you don’t actively look for it.
You have to do the work.
So how do we navigate the emotions that we have over everything that’s happened to us, to find real meaning? How do we begin to release our pain to build strength?
That’s what we’re talking about today.
Our guests today are Dr. Dan Allender, professor of counseling psychology and founder of The Allender Center, and Cathy Loerzel, speaker, instructor, as well as cofounder and executive vice president of The Allender Center.
We Will Learn
- How to become more self aware of the past trauma or pain that influencing your present.
- How to identify the lies we tell ourselves so we can heal.
- How to move through and release big emotions.

In their final conversation about archetypes within the kingdom of God, Dan, Cathy, and Rachael unpack what it means to be a widow or widower, and how one can become a thriving king or queen. What are the wounds that impact a king or queen, what does true leadership look like, and how does a king or queen bring order to God’s kingdom?
This week, Dan, Rachael, and Cathy take a deep dive into and further reflect on the archetype of priest. What is required for a priest to grow in their ability to do what priests are meant to do? In this episode, you’ll hear our hosts and Cathy talk about the importance of archetypal thinking, how the archetype of an “orphan” relates to the calling of a priest archetype, and the process by which an orphan is transformed.
Picking up their conversation from last week, Dan and Cathy turn their attention to uncovering the roots of conflict in relationships and how we can move towards true connection.
This week, Dan is joined again by Cathy Loerzel and Rachael Clinton to further discuss our Healing the Wounded Heart online course. They particularly review the benefit of a closed Facebook group created for tribe members. The ultimate goal in creating the tribe option was to ensure that participants would not have to move through the course alone and would benefit from processing with others along the way. This added option has truly brought increased engagement with the material, and we hope very much that you can join us for our upcoming semester tribe!
