Restoring The Shattered Self by Heather Davediuk Gingrich

A Christian Counselor's Guide to Complex Trauma

A practical guide for understanding and treating complex trauma from a Christian counseling perspective, integrating clinical research with spiritual sensitivity. It explains the effects of prolonged abuse and neglect, clarifies dissociation and parts-oriented dynamics, and presents a phased treatment model that emphasizes safety and stabilization before trauma processing and integration. The book uses case vignettes, addresses multicultural issues and therapist self-care, and offers ethical guidance for incorporating prayer and other spiritual resources into therapy.
