Make Sense of Your Story : Why Engaging Your Past With Kindness Changes Everything

How to explore your past, transform your present, and look to the future with hope

Do you sense something is broken or not working in your life? Despite reading the right books, attending healing conferences, perhaps even working with a good therapist, progress feels elusive. The problem is not that you lack the right information--it's that you need to engage your story.

In Make Sense of Your Story, trauma therapist Adam Young teaches you how to explore your personal story--to understand how your past experiences have shaped your brain, allowing you to make sense of why your present day-to-day life looks and feels the way it does. Sharing his own experiences, as well as the latest research into how our brains and bodies process memory, Young helps you adopt a posture of curiosity and kindness toward your own story so you can

● experience relationships where you don't feel the need to suppress your true self
● understand, express, and regulate your emotions
● bring your anger and disappointment to God and receive comfort
● find true connection with others

Engaging your story is the single most important thing you can do to experience healing and freedom. Are you ready to dig deep, see the truth your story reveals about you, and discover the different future you desire?
