    Testimonial: Healing the Scars From Your Family of Origin

    Date: Dec 23, 2025

    Theme: Healing Scars

    Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.

    For today’s episode, we have the honour of introducing a powerful testimonial of healing scars that were left by dysfunctional family. The family we grew up in – our family of origin – has an undeniable impact on our lives. It can affect how we see ourselves, how we see the world, how we interact with others, and our expectations of marriage and parenting. Tina’s story is told with brutal honesty, and we are grateful for her courage in sharing with us. I hope you are encouraged by Tina’s testimony of finding healing and hope.

    Please note that this testimonial mentions abuse and is not suitable for children.

    Free, one-time consultation with a registered counsellor at Focus on the Family Canada over the phone. Give our head office a call at 1-800-661-9800 to request a consult.
