Publisher's Synopsis
Recovering from spiritual abuse can be a difficult journey—but you don't have to do it alone. In Spiritual Abuse Recovery Workbook: Engaging Faith in Healing, Licensed Professional Counselor Karen Roudkovski offers practical therapeutic tools for recovery from a trauma-informed perspective, while incorporating faith and Scripture in a sensitive and caring manner. Designed for use in therapy settings, support groups, or personal study, Spiritual Abuse Recovery Workbook guides survivors of spiritual abuse through 12 weeks of exercises and reflections to help them understand and process their experiences and begin the journey of healing. Each chapter provides a brief overview of the goals for the week, daily exercises and opportunities for reflection, space for journaling, and sensitive explorations of Christian Scripture. The exercises are built from the research Roudkovski conducted for her book, Understanding Spiritual Abuse, to which this workbook is a companion. Spiritual Abuse Recovery Workbook includes the Spiritual Abuse Assessment in the first chapter so that survivors can take stock of their experience at the beginning of their healing journey. The appendix of this workbook includes additional resources and a leader's guide for those leading a support group. For survivors of spiritual abuse, the journey of recovery can feel unclear and treacherous. Through Spiritual Abuse Recovery Workbook, Karen Roudkovski provides a clear path forward through therapeutic practices and a grounded belief in God's faithful goodness to his people.
