Restoring The Soul

Restoring the Soul: Overcoming Sexual Abuse through Christ is a workbook that offers a faith-based structured counseling program for those who have experienced childhood or adult sexual abuse. The introduction describes the skills needed and the most important responsibilities of those who are facilitating the counseling process. Through the thirteen sessions provided, a participant is able to develop coping skills, process repressed, and wounded emotions and better understand the issues related to sexual abuse, while feeling safe, comfortable, and able to heal from an experience that was extremely traumatizing for them. Facilitators are able to understand the process required to help people, perhaps including themselves, overcome the barriers to healing and feel the relief that comes when repressed emotions are released appropriately and safely and wounded emotions receive the respect, healing, and restoration that brings about a sense of clarity and understanding that comes from offering a safe, healthy healing environment. Counselors learn how to keep things safe while bringing about the freedom to move forward into healing.
