NEW RELEASE: Hope Through Trauma is a self-directed guide to healing for those who want to work through their trauma and learn to move forward. In this workbook, Dr. Peter Newhouse guides readers through the phases of Bondage, Change, and Freedom. The process starts with identifying your starting point and understanding the need for healing.    Dr. Peter shares his clinical expertise as a therapist as well as his experience of practicing this process himself as a way of helping others find the healing that he has found. As anybody who has experienced a traumatic experience knows, this is usually a “slow and steady” process, and the workbook emphasizes that throughout. Readers will continue to be reminded that healing takes time, and it’s not a linear process. There will be surprising steps forward and surprising setbacks along the way, but Dr. Peter reminds readers that it’s all part of the healing process.    For anybody who has felt trapped or held back by their past, this workbook will help you to work through that trauma and allow you to see new possibilities for your future. If you are struggling with past experiences, you are not the only one and you are not on your own when it comes to healing. Get a copy for yourself or for a loved one who is healing from past trauma. https://lnkd.in/ejpqfxTr.

Who has hurt you that you need to forgive?   Who have you hurt that you need to ask for forgiveness from? Our prayer for you today: Heavenly Father, You are so rich in kindness and grace that you purchased our freedom with the blood of your Son and forgave our sins. You have showered your kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. (Ephesians 1:7-8).  Bring to mind those we need to forgive.  Give us the courage and grace to forgive. Bring to mind those we need to seek forgiveness from.  Soften their hearts to grant our forgiveness.  We give you all the honor and glory! Amen
