Description
Despair. Emotional isolation. Self-loathing. Immaturity. Abusive actions -- Just some of the damaging fragments that remain embedded within us when we are broken as children. The memory of the past may seem distant, but within its scars, deep wounds remain that continue to inflict pain upon our adult lives -- and often end up spilling into the lives of others.
In "Broken Children, Grown-Up Pain," Paul Hegstrom, author of "Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them," shows us the scars from his broken childhood and shares practical and proven methods for facing and dealing with the pain of the past. By using scientific research, psychological studies, and Biblical principles, he points us to the place of healing where we are finally free to pursue authentic relationships and build healthy emotional intimacy with others.
This updated version of "Broken Children, Grown-Up Pain" is an excellent resource for pastors, teachers, counselors, psychologists, parents, or anyone wounded by an abusive past.
Why Regina Recommends
The scars of the past often show up in our adult lives, damaging relationships and our own self-love. Understanding how your past has shaped who you are today is the first step. I love that that the author uses scientific research and studies as well as Biblical principles to help us understand how we are wired and gives practical ways of dealing with the pain of our past.
