The Shattered Soul: Restoring Wholeness and Rebuilding Your Faith After Spiritual Trauma

On the path back to faith after spiritual abuse, find hope and healing with this trauma-informed and spiritually sensitive guide.

Understanding spiritual abuse and trauma is one thing―knowing how to move forward is another. Survivors are often left unsure how to reconnect with God, their soul, or to community. Anything associated with their prior spiritual practice―attending worship, prayer, reading Scripture, participating in Christian community―becomes a trigger for reliving their abuse. How do we restore health and wholeness and rebuild our faith when our spiritual life feels painful?

You don’t have to force your faith or abandon it altogether. There is a sacred space in between―unhurried and gracious―where the shattered pieces of your soul can be gathered into wholeness by the love, compassion, and gentleness of the Divine.

In her debut book, The Shattered Soul, trauma therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor Colleen Ramser journeys with survivors as an empathetic companion on the path to recovery from spiritual trauma and abuse. Through expert knowledge and her own vulnerable story of reconnecting to her faith after abuse, readers will come to understand how to:

become aware of instances of spiritual abuse and spiritual trauma in your story

see how the impact of spiritual trauma on your body and soul hinders your capacity to experience God, others, and your faith

understand the relational dynamics that made you vulnerable to prevent future risk

use practical tools and direction to help begin the process of healing your trauma and reconnecting to your soul and your faith

Restoration is possible. In the pages of this book, discover how to truly reclaim an authentic and embodied faith in Christ.
