Relational trauma affects your nervous system, your sense of self, your view of God, and how safe you feel in the world. But healing is possible.
Healing the Hurt They Left is a 28-day devotional that blends trauma-informed psychology with biblical wisdom to help you begin that healing process.
Whether the wound came from a parent, partner, friend, or spiritual leader, this devotional is for the silent pain you’ve carried too long. It is a gentle, research-rooted, Scripture-anchored companion to help you reclaim your voice, your worth, and your sense of safety.
What’s Inside:
✦ Psychological Frameworks for Understanding Trauma
Learn how relational trauma can lead to patterns like Complex PTSD, emotional dysregulation, and hyper-independence. You'll understand why you react the way you do and how to gently unlearn survival strategies that no longer serve you.✦ Restoring a Distorted Image of God
Relational wounds often impact how we see God. Drawing from attachment theory, this devotional explores how early experiences with caregivers can shape our view of God as distant, harsh, or disinterested and how Scripture reveals His true character as near, gentle, and faithful.✦ Therapy-Informed Tools for Inner Healing
Includes exercises from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), narrative exposure, and emotional regulation. You’ll engage in:
Letter-writing to unspoken pain
Identifying and rewriting distorted self-talk
Working through triggers and stuck patterns
Using a trauma-informed Feelings Wheel to build emotional vocabulary
✦ Biblical Anchoring for Every Step
Through the stories of Psalm 55, the Samaritan woman in John 4, and many others, you’ll see that Scripture doesn’t minimize emotional pain. It names it, validates it, and walks with us through it.
✦ Boundaries Without Bitterness
You’ll learn to grieve what someone couldn’t give you, release the expectation they’ll ever change, and still choose wholeness without losing your faith. This book equips you to set wise, healthy boundaries while remaining grounded in love and truth.
This devotional doesn’t rush you. It honors your pain, helps you name it, and gently points you back to the God who heals.
