✨ Shipwrecked to Lovewrecked: A Bible Study for Women Healing from Trauma

By Telle Wild Rose | R.I.S.E. with Yahweh Ministries

Shipwrecked to Lovewrecked is a Bible study written for women who have experienced sexual trauma, emotional wounds, or seasons of deep brokenness. The study walks through six stages of healing — the wound, the impact, the solution, the process, the healing, and moving forward — using Scripture, journal prompts, and discussion questions.

Through the stories of women in the Bible who also faced trauma, abandonment, and shame, the study shows that God sees every wound, collects every tear, and restores what was stolen. Like a shipwreck, trauma can scatter the pieces of our lives — but God’s love rebuilds what was shattered.

Each session highlights:

• The Wound – acknowledging pain and letting God into hidden places

• The Impact – recognizing how trauma affects identity, relationships, and faith

• The Solution – seeing Jesus as healer, redeemer, and restorer

• The Process – understanding that healing is a journey, not an instant event

• The Healing – embracing forgiveness, release, and freedom

• Moving Forward – walking in new identity, purpose, and boundaries

This study includes Telle’s personal testimony — from living as an atheist for 20 years, to encountering Christ through a simple moment, to forgiving her abuser and stepping into her calling to minister to women. The message is simple and powerful:

Trauma may be where the story begins, but in Christ, it is not where the story ends.

Shipwrecked to Lovewrecked invites women to go from broken → to restored → to overflowing in God’s love.

Relapse: a poem by telle wild rose

Relapse

I relapsed

bled the red till my heart collapsed

dropped to the ground like a woman possessed,

as for how the story ends, well you know the rest..

Romans 7:19–20

Psalm 38:4

1 John 1:9 

Lamentations 3:22–23

MASTER JOURNALING GUIDE: holistic benefits

MASTER JOURNALING GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Journaling is a biblical and spiritually beneficial practice that helps believers remember God’s faithfulness, renew their minds, and grow in wisdom. Throughout Scripture, God’s people were commanded to write, remember, and rehearse His works so that faith would deepen, obedience would increase, and future generations would benefit. Journaling continues that same spiritual discipline in our daily walk with Christ.

This guide combines the spiritual, mental, physical, and personal growth benefits of journaling, each supported with KJV references, teaching explanations, and reflection questions—followed by a “How to Start Journaling as a Christian” guide for practical application.

✨ SECTION I — SPIRITUAL BENEFITS OF JOURNALING

1. Journaling Helps You Remember God’s Works
As Israel was instructed to remember, writing preserves God’s faithfulness so we do not forget His acts or promises.
Reference: Psalm 77:11; Deuteronomy 6:12; Joshua 4:7

2. Journaling Creates a Spiritual Legacy for Others
Future generations can read what God did in your life, just as we benefit from biblical and historical writings of saints before us.
Reference: Psalm 102:18

3. Journaling Strengthens Faith in God’s Providence
Looking back over past entries reveals how God guided, protected, corrected, and sustained you through seasons you once didn’t understand.
Reference: Romans 8:28; Psalm 37:23

4. Journaling Deepens Prayer and Focus
Writing prayers increases intention, honesty, and clarity—guarding the mind from wandering and helping believers “pray without ceasing.”
Reference: Psalm 62:8; 1 Thessalonians 5:17

5. Journaling Supports Growth in the Word
Writing insights, questions, and applications while studying Scripture helps you meditate on truth, remember lessons, and apply them to life.
Reference: Psalm 119:15; James 1:25

6. Journaling Helps You Examine the Heart
The written page slows the mind and reveals motives, sins, patterns, and areas in need of repentance and surrender.
Reference: Psalm 139:23–24; Lamentations 3:40

---

Reflection Questions — Spiritual Benefits

1. What has God done recently that I never want to forget?

2. What answered prayer should I record as a testimony?

3. What sin, pattern, or habit is God exposing in my heart?

4. What Scripture spoke to me this week, and how will I apply it?

---

🌿 SECTION II — MENTAL & EMOTIONAL BENEFITS OF JOURNALING

1. Journaling Reduces Anxiety and Emotional Overload
Writing thoughts helps untangle emotions, calm the mind, and cast cares upon the Lord instead of storing stress internally.
Reference: Philippians 4:6–7; 1 Peter 5:7

2. Journaling Brings Clarity of Thought
Putting thoughts on paper forces clarity and helps you think biblically instead of emotionally.
Reference: Proverbs 4:7

3. Journaling Helps Process Pain and Trauma
Writing is a God-given outlet for pouring out the heart and finding healing as the Lord binds up wounds.
Reference: Psalm 34:18; Psalm 62:8

4. Journaling Increases Self-Awareness and Discernment
Seeing patterns in writing helps believers recognize triggers, behaviors, and spiritual needs, leading to wiser decisions.
Reference: Proverbs 4:26; Proverbs 20:5

5. Journaling Strengthens Emotional Self-Control
Slowing down to write helps you respond rather than react, training the heart in patience and self-governance.
Reference: Proverbs 16:32

💪 SECTION III — PHYSICAL & HEALTH BENEFITS OF JOURNALING

1. Journaling Supports Better Sleep and Rest
Emptying the mind onto paper reduces nighttime overthinking and helps the body release tension.

2. Journaling Reduces Stress in the Body
A calm heart promotes a healthier body; journaling lowers the internal pressure that contributes to stress-related symptoms.
Reference: Proverbs 14:30

3. Journaling Promotes Overall Wellness
By processing emotions and burdens regularly, the body experiences less strain and more peace.
Reference: Proverbs 17:22

Writing daily builds spiritual and practical discipline, which overflows into other areas of life.
Reference: 1 Corinthians 9:27

2. Journaling Improves Decision-Making
Writing pros, cons, and prayer reflections helps discern God-honoring choices.
Reference: Proverbs 3:5–6

3. Journaling Improves Memory and Learning
Writing information makes it “stick,” improving recall and comprehension.
Reference: Proverbs 1:5

4. Journaling Inspires Creativity and Renewed Mindset
Reflection fuels growth, ideas, vision, and purpose.

Step 3 — Start with Scripture, Prayer, or Reflection
Step 4 — Be Honest Before God

🌟 SECTION VI — CLOSING ENCOURAGEMENT

Journaling is not just writing—it is worship, remembrance, renewal, and discipleship. It helps you walk with God intentionally, think biblically, and live with clarity and peace.

Write. Remember. Reflect. Grow.

Tell Somebody: survivor story

 

My name is shauntell rohner, i go by telle wild rose in my writing (poet), i am a survivor of both childhood sexual abuse and incest. 

it started at age 3, by an older male cousin. i dont recall exactly how it started but i  know he approached me under the guise of it being ''a game'' that only me and him couldl play. he did everythign imaginable too terrible to repeat, and he would go on to abuse me till i was age 14. it only ended because i finally spoke up and told someone about the ongoing abuse i was going through. 

unfortunately the justice system turned me away and i never recieved legal justice for what was done to this day. 

at age 11 i also started self harming to dealw ith the pain of the abuse, as the saying goes, secrets make you sick, and indded it did, because at 14 i was diagnosed with (c)PTSD, major depression, anxiety. and fast forward to older ages at 20 diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. then later once agin, depressive psychosis where i would hear and see things others could not. ive been in and out of inpatient, er visits for self-harm, struggled with being suicidal and been in therapy off  n on since age 14.

being abused wrecked hovac on my psyche, my mental health was turned to ashes. but something profound happened also at age 25. i met the living God. Jesus Christ, came into my heart and began to heal those broken places. im 32 now and i can honestly say he's given and still giving me beauty for ashes. im not at the finish line  yet, but im striving to get there day by day. i may not have gotten the type of justice i wanted but i know my Redeemer lives, and He remembers and has not forgotten and is a Just God. i leave it all in His hands. Hallelujah.

i live my life now being a voice in the wilderness for those that do not have their own through the creative outlet of poetry. 

please, DONT wait, tell somebody, it will bring healing to you and many others that need to hear your story.

📘 How to Use This Book

I Wrote the Wound, It was the Balm isn’t meant to be read all at once.

It’s a conversation. A mirror. A safe place.
And like healing, it moves at your own pace.

Here are a few gentle ways to walk through these pages:

• Start with the poem that speaks to your current state.
  There’s no need to go in order. Let your soul guide you.
  
  

• Read mindfully—see not just the wound but the hidden underlineing the balm.
  Pause in between. Breathe. Let the Scriptures response sink in slowly.
  
  

• Use the journal prompts throughout or at the end to start your own conversations with God.
  
  

• Don’t rush your healing.
  This book is here for the days when you don’t have words, the nights when you’re unraveling, and the mornings when the sun rises again… even just for a moment.
  
  

You can come back to it as many times as you need.
Each time, you’ll find something different waiting for you.
And each time, God will still be speaking.

⚠️ Author's Note & Content Warning

Dear Reader,

This collection is raw. It is real. It is mine.

Inside these pages, you will find vulnerable expressions of mental illness, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, spiritual grief, and emotional pain. Some poems may be unsettling or heavy—because they were written in the dark before I found my way back to the light.

This book is not a glorification of suffering.
It is not a romanticizing of pain.
It is a record—a testimony—of survival,
and of the whispers of God calling me home.

If you are sensitive to topics around self-harm, depression, or emotional abuse, please proceed with care.
Take breaks.
Skip sections.
Come back when you’re ready.
You don’t owe the book more than you have to give.

If you are currently struggling, please know: you are not alone.
You are deeply loved, and there is always help, even when it feels unreachable.

I share these pages not as a perfect person,
but as a witness to grace in the middle of a storm.

Let this book be what it needs to be for you.
And let the final note always be this:

You’re still here.
And that is holy.

With tenderness,
Telle Wild Rose
