Book excerpt: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” -Psalm 34:18 Recovering from emotional and psychological trauma takes time. Give yourself time to heal and to mourn the losses you have experienced. Don’t try to force the healing process. There is no right or wrong way to think, feel or respond to trauma, so don’t judge your own reactions or those of other people. Your sometimes misunderstood responses are normal reactions to abnormal events because each person will react in different ways. During the difficult process of healing your trauma you will experience a wide range of physical and emotional reactions. So be patient with the pace of recovery and be prepared for difficult and volatile emotions. Allow yourself time to feel whatever you’re feeling without judgment or guilt. This guide is built to guide you through the process of healing emotional, physical and spiritual trauma. Not only will you heal your mind and body, this guide will help you heal your spirit. Let’s take the journey of healing together!
