Trauma is a multifaceted, profoundly influential experience that can have devastating effects on a person’s mental and emotional health. For the sufferer, it can feel insurmountable, yet healing is not only possible, but—with understanding, guidance, and faith—can be sustained and transformative. In Pathway to Freedom, Gloria J. Kelsey offers a fascinating and comprehensive guide to the “roots, fruits, and effects” of trauma and a detailed roadmap for the journey back to wholeness that anyone imprisoned by trauma can follow. In Pathway to Freedom, you will discover that although healing from trauma is a personal journey that requires self-care, identifying and managing triggers, and establishing a stable routine, there are practical steps that anyone can follow for navigating the healing process. You will learn to recognize the intricate connections between emotional and physical health and how you can restore balance and harmony of body, mind, and spirit. This involves exploring the underlying causes of your trauma, understanding your stress responses, and acquiring techniques for building resilience. With these skills, you’ll be better equipped to confidently face future challenges and support others on their healing journeys. The author’s therapeutic approach combines scientific advancements in the physiology and psychology of trauma with the transformative power of faith and prayer. Having experienced her own struggles related to trauma and abuse, Gloria brings a unique perspective to those in similar situations. Do you ever question whether it’s truly possible to recover from trauma, rejection, or a shattered heart? Maybe you’ve been in pain for quite some time, and things don’t seem to improve. Perhaps you feel trapped like you’ve exhausted all options and nothing has worked. As you delve into the chapters of this trauma healing guide, you’ll learn how to turn each challenge into an opportunity for personal growth.
