Abstract

Divorce often results in profound emotional and spiritual turmoil, especially for Christians
who view marriage as a divine covenant. This qualitative study explores the post-divorce
traumatic experiences and inner healing processes of five Christian individuals using a psycho
theological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 5 participants
using purposive sampling technique. The findings reveal recurring themes of spiritual
disorientation, emotional distress marked by guilt and loss of identity, and a journey toward
healing facilitated by personal faith, prayer, scripture reflection, and support from faith
communities. Participants described both theological struggle and spiritual resilience,
highlighting the significance of integrating psychological and spiritual frameworks in trauma
recovery. This study contributes to pastoral care and Christian counseling by offering insights
into the inner transformation that follows relational breakdown. It underscores the
importance of faith-based coping mechanisms in navigating post-traumatic stress within a
Christian worldview.
