Church-Based Counseling Growing After Trauma: 9 Steps Toward Peace, (Paperback)

<p>Trauma is an intense past experience with lingering effects in the present. It is futile to minimize trauma's impact, but trauma should not have the last word on our lives. <i>Growing After Trauma</i> seeks to help readers strike this balance. As we understand and counter the impact of trauma, we can live satisfying and fruitful lives. Hambrick outlines a process for finding peace after trauma by establishing an environment of safety, processing painful memories, and reengaging the life God designed for you to live.</p><p>This biblically-rooted plan can be used as a personal study, with a counselor, or in a group. Whether your experience of trauma is from military service, serving as a first responder, abuse or human trafficking, a natural disaster, or a mass violence event, <i>Growing After Trauma</i> helps readers understand the impact of their trauma and identify ways to become increasingly free from its impact. It emphasizes patience, self-care, and reliance on God's care while encouraging individuals to move forward at their own pace, while celebrating each marker of progress.</p><p><i>Growing After Trauma</i> is an in-depth resource for churches and individuals to use for support groups to heal from trauma in a faith-filled and safe way. The 9-step model helps participants understand the struggles that accompany trauma and gives actionable strategies for overcoming with the hope of the gospel. This book is part of the Church-Based Counseling series, built on the G4 model of subject-specific, lay-led counseling groups, designed to help churches create sustainable lay counseling ministries.</p>
