Trauma is an intense past experience with lingering effects in the present. It is futile to minimize trauma's impact, but trauma should not have the last word on our lives. Growing After Trauma seeks to help readers strike this balance. As we understand and counter the impact of trauma, we can live satisfying and fruitful lives. Hambrick outlines a process for finding peace after trauma by establishing an environment of safety, processing painful memories, and reengaging the life God designed for you to live.
