Healing What's Within: Coming Home to Yourself--and to God--When You're Wounded, Weary, and Wandering

While we cannot control what happens to us, we can learn to heal the hidden pain it creates. Many people carry buried hurt beneath an outwardly composed appearance, experiencing internal fracture despite seeming strong and resilient. Unprocessed feelings of shame, anger, grief, and loneliness churn beneath the surface, and the body often reflects these struggles through various aches and ailments. Over time, this disconnection from one's true self deepens, and fear of further hurt leads to coping mechanisms like numbing and suppression. In Healing What's Within, therapist and professor Chuck DeGroat offers a compassionate inward journey toward reconnection with the life God created you to live. The book guides readers to confront what blocks the path to joy and flourishing, understand the connection between body and emotions, experience God as a compassionate witness to trauma, and discover rest and renewal through reconnection with God, others, and yourself. Healing is possible at any point, with God's unconditional kindness available to guide you home.
