초록

Drawing on the logic of binary oppositions, Western philosophy has a long-standing tradition to look down on the human body. In stark contrast to this dichotomous thinking, the theology of the body puts its emphasis on the whole human. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the human body signify the redemptive events in which he himself experienced the whole human and suffered pain as the body subject, especially in unity of body and soul. When seen from the theology of the body, trauma can also be seen as a wound on the whole human and it is the reality of human suffering in a sinful world. Jesus trusted God the Father, who did not forsake him to the end. According to his Father's will, Jesus became incarnate in such a way as to share in human suffering. Moreover, Jesus sacrificed his body on the cross and was resurrected to save humans from sin, suffering, and death, confirming his love for them in doing so. With the relationship of Jesus the Son with God the Father in mind, one can understand children traumatized with broken bodies anew. Remember that Children can sense the love of Jesus everyday in a secure relationship with the parents in their unfailing love. This hints at the ultimate path to recovery. Especially for children who find it difficult to express in detail the trauma imprinted on their bodies, the healing of their wounds can be achieved through the play of the body. As can be seen from Jesus’ trust in God the Father, Children's recovery from trauma depends on their trust in the parents and their secure attachments in which they have an unwavering conviction that they will not be abandoned until the end.
