Book excerpt: A radically fresh interpretation of how we can best serve others from the bestselling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son, hailed as “one of the world’s greatest spiritual writers” by Christianity Today “In our own woundedness, we can become a source of life for others.” In this hope-filled and profoundly simple book, Henri Nouwen inspires devoted men and women who want to be of service in their church or community but who have found traditional outreach alienating and ineffective. Weaving keen cultural analysis with his psychological and religious insights, Nouwen presents a balanced and creative theology of service that begins with the realization of fundamental woundedness in human nature. According to Nouwen, ministers are called to identify the suffering in their own hearts and make that recognition the starting point of their service. Ministers must be willing to go beyond their professional, somewhat aloof roles and leave themselves open as fellow human beings with the same wounds and suffering as those they serve. In other words, we heal from our wounds. The Wounded Healer is a thoughtful and insightful guide that will be welcomed by anyone engaged in the service of others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding meaning in trauma work, as a traumatized healer yourself. The act of caregiving is physically exhausting and emotionally draining, yet caregivers describe it as rewarding and gratifying. Prolonged exposure to human suffering, however, is not without risks?caregivers report high rates of burnout and poor quality of life. Many care providers believe that their feelings do not matter; that they should ignore their pain, brush off their trauma, wipe away their tears, and just “suck it up.” Here, Omar Reda a Libyan-born American psychiatrist who, as an emergency physician and trauma counselor provided care for medical staff caring for victims of trauma, calls upon other healers to break free from cycles of secrecy, toxic stress, and silent suffering so they can continue to empower and inspire those in their care. Filled with poignant first-person stories and clinical case studies, this book is an impassioned plea for psychosocial trauma care that prioritizes the health of both client and healer.

Book excerpt: You are not alone. Our story, like yours, is a story of the faithfulness of Jesus throughout the tapestry of our lives. From circumstances that seem so trivial that they go unnoticed to the devastating situations that shake our very existence, the one thing that we can know for certain is that faithful Jesus is always working and will never leave you or forsake you. Ours is a story where the doctors told us of the impossibilities, but through one miracle after another Jesus remained faithful to His Word. If you need to be encouraged, if you need hope restored, if you need a reminder of the faithfulness of Jesus in your life, this book was written for you. “Broken Healer is an unusual autobiography—written not in one voice, but two, giving the book a dual perspective that greatly enriches the story. Dan’s accident may have turned their world upside down, but Dan and Miriam’s faith in Jesus, their broken healer, is an inspiration to everyone who knows them. Their willingness to share the dark places of their brokenness with openness and honesty is to be admired and should be a source of encouragement to all who read this book.” —Gloria Kearney,author of Sing in the Shadow and Kingdom Park

Download or read book Celebrating the Wounded Healer Psychotherapist written by Sharon Klayman Farber and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would someone decide to become a psychotherapist? It is well-known within the field that psychoanalysts and psychotherapists are often drawn to their future professions as a result of early traumatic experiences and being helped by their own psychoanalytic treatment. While dedicating their lives to relieving emotional suffering without being judgmental, they fear compromising their reputations if they publicly acknowledge such suffering in themselves. This phenomenon is nearly universal among those in the helping professions, yet there are few books dedicated to the issue. In this innovative book, Farber and a distinguished range of contributors examine how the role of the ‘wounded healer’ was instrumental in the formulation of psychoanalysis, and how using their own woundedness can help clinicians work more effectively with their patients, and advance theory in a more informed manner. Celebrating the Wounded Healer Psychotherapist will be of interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, graduate students in clinical disciplines including psychology, social work, ministry/chaplaincy and nursing, as well as the general public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The path of a wounded healer is determined before birth by our higher selves, guides, angels, and the karmic board. It’s the highest honor and privilege a human can endure in one lifetime. This journey is only summoned for advanced old souls and those strong enough in their spiritual directive to hold the immense energy needed to complete their mission. One must undergo the dark night of the soul which triggers the awakening process. When we evolve through our challenges, we have the power to free hundreds of thousands of people taken hostage by their own shadows, heal generational wounds, clear future legacies for our children, and heal our own karmic debts. Author Sara Bachmeier has personally experienced this process, and she shares her story in The Path of a Wounded Healer. A sequel to her first book, Egyptian Numerology, this new book describes in greater detail the challenges, blessings, lessons, and teachings that all wounded healers are prone to endure and must learn to integrate while traveling on their intended path, purpose, and destiny in this incarnation. In The Path of a Wounded Healer, she helps people understand nothing is random, and everything has purpose and reason. Once you understand the value of your soul-life agreement, you can find peace and determination strong enough to go beyond human limitations and conditions to heal some of life’s most difficult challenges and to help others as they trudge the road on their destined path.

This book was released on 2018-12-26 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Slippers would break, rods would break, my skin would break and bleed, my clothes would stain, but my spirit remain untouched.” Throughout her childhood, Priya Saklani had only one friend ‘FEAR,’ which was constant. She can’t recollect the time when she felt needed. She completely lacked the knowledge or understanding of what human affection meant because the only reason why people touched her was to abuse her. Longing for affection, Priya felt nothing more than an object who was being passed on from one man to another. There was more to her than her body. In what might seem dark for some readers initially, The Wounded Healer depicts the undying strength and courage of a spirit who rose from the ashes like a phoenix and became a warrior from a victim. The pain had a lot to teach her as she channelized that suffering as a stepping stone to a higher state of consciousness, treating her scars like trophies. Priya turned her wounds to wisdom, healing herself and today she is using that wisdom to help others heal. The Wounded Healer - A memoir of Priya Saklani, details a compelling and ferocious insight into a mind and life of a victim of complex trauma, demonstrating just how childhood affects every aspect of your life.

Download or read book The Wounded Healer written by David Sedgwick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countertransference is an important part of the analytical process. It is concerned with the analyst's emotional response to the patient. As such, it can be a particularly difficult aspect of the analytical setting and especially so because of the threat of possible sexual involvement with the patient. At present there is little available on this difficult topic. Jungian analyst David Sedgwick tackles the subject bravely and shows how to use the countertransference in a positive way. The result is one of the finest Jungian clinical texts of recent years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wounded Healer is a novel about a Catholic priest who was accused of sexual abuse of a twelve-year-old boy with Down syndrome. The charge was credible. The boy had been abused. The pursuant criminal trial was inconclusive in that it was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the priest was the perpetrator. The rest of the novel is about the life of the priest whose faculties had been withdrawn, living with that shame, trying to survive in a climate hostile to perpetrators of sexual abuse. He had shamed his family and his faith community. He prayed daily that someday he would be vindicated. In the meantime, God gave him an extraordinary power of healing, which was both a blessing and a cross for him. At the end of the novel, the priest is exonerated and restored to ministry.

Download or read book Trauma s Labyrinth Reflections of a Wounded Healer written by Laura K. Kerr and published by LK Kerr Books. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2022 Bronze Living Now Book Award 2022 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Trauma can feel like a labyrinth, twisting on itself like a maze of despair, without end or exit. This seems particularly true in today’s chaotic world of pandemics, climate change, social conflict, and systemic violence. Increasingly, the conditions of the larger world aggravate, if not cause, the traumas in our individual lives. However, as Laura K. Kerr explores in this wide-ranging collection of essays, not only can we heal from trauma, but we can use it as an opportunity for growth and transformation, changing ourselves and the world for the better. Drawing from her experiences as researcher, trauma survivor, and psychotherapist, she examines various causes of trauma, details how to understand and treat trauma’s effects, and explores the role society plays in activating traumatic defenses. Despite the weightiness of the topic, Dr. Kerr brings hope for lasting, positive change. As Dr. Kerr shows, the key lies in removing rigid divides, like those between wounded and healer, self and society. When they are integrated, healing becomes transformative and enduring—not only for ourselves but for the increasingly traumatized world in which we live.
