can God heal the deep early childhood trauma that results in personality disorders?

Such as BPD, NPD, The core issue we have is that we have no true self, we were traumatised so young that our ego never had a chance to develop into a solid core that represents who we are

so from a psychology point of view we are "nothing"

do you think God can heal us?

Yes, God can do anything

Hi Ben

From experience I can tell you that God can heal anything. I struggled with intense depression and self worth issues at age 5. This was as a result of demonic attacks. What made it worse, is that I had no way of trying to explain my problem to my parents or my brother. The isolation is what made me want to give up on life altogether. All that came to an abrupt end one night when I asked Jesus to help me during one of those attacks. He yanked me out of that pit of despair the very next moment and I was never the same again. Keep the faith brother, and don't stop asking the Lord to help you climb that mountain. True, it looks like a steep climb, but I promise you, the view from up there will melt you heart.

In a manner of speaking, we are none of us complete individuals until we see God as he is. This life is not for us, but for Christ.

However, assuming your question is valid, God can do anything he pleases. I haven't much doubt he has done so in some, and not in others, for his own purposes.

But our identity, in the end, is in him, not in ourselves. There is the best healing.

This life is not about this life.

I think God can heal us, but it can take some time.

I think recognising the problems is the first step. Healthy boundaries with toxic people and reshaping relationships also help a lot, done in love, for the sake of our own health.

Maybe there are people here who had their healing faster, have you thought about seeing a christian counsellor?

 

[NBB]

Yes he can heal, you may need to get involved in a good 'spirit-filled' church that has deliverance ministry, when God is present in a church there are lives transformed.
A lot of what medicine calls 'mental illneses' are spiritual problems actually.

Yes. Unequivocally yes He can. I'm not sure that you'll wake up one day renewed. It's possible, but I think that the journey to renewal is absolutely vital.

The fact that you're asking this question shows that you are in the middle of that journey already.

Ben, our only hope is to give ourselves to God completely every day. He is the One Who shows us truth and compassion.

Yes, he can restore us to sanity, peace and wellness.
Medication may help for any chemical changes that have occurred in your body/brain.

I actually incurred an iatrogenic brain injury from taking anti depressants

I'm not too surprised, for there are adverse reactions for a small number of people. . .but I was thinking more in terms of psychotic disorders needing some chemical help.

Yes God can heal anything that’s wrong with someone. Sometimes it is through meds. I’ve been healed from stuff through ministry too.
