Healing What's Within

We can’t always control what happens to us. But we can discover how to heal the hidden hurt it leaves behind.

If you’re like many of us, you carry a weight of buried pain. Despite looking put together on the outside, you feel secretly fractured within. While you appear strong and resilient on the outside, inside a storm brews of all the ways you’ve been hurt or harmed. There’s a constant churn of unprocessed feelings of shame, anger, grief, or loneliness. And your body tells the story of its struggles in a myriad of aches and ailments. Little by little, you find yourself becoming disconnected from who you truly are. Not knowing what to do with your suffering and fearing you'll be hurt again, you’ve learned to cope, to numb and suppress the ache within.

It doesn’t have to be this way. In Healing What’s Within, therapist and professor Chuck DeGroat invites you on a compassionate journey inward to return and retune to the life God created you to live. Along the way, you will discover how to gently consider and confront what’s keeping you stuck and blocking the path to joy and flourishing; better understand the relationship between your body and your emotions; experience God as a compassionate witness to your trauma―and his unconditional kindness to wherever you find yourself; and discover real rest and renewal as you reconnect with God, others, and yourself.

It’s never too late to start healing. God’s heart is always ready to help you find your way Home.
