T. Ground healing in God’s Truth about self, life, love, relationships, and purpose to create structure and security in an uncertain world, and to feel less vulnerable when walking through life’s valleys. 

H. Combine Self-Forgiveness, Personal Agency, Identity, and God’s Truth to create a solid foundation for self-efficacy and self-actualization, which is necessary to support post-traumatic Healing.

You owe it to your yourself!
