This book intends to take you beyond our understanding of forgiveness and show you the how of forgiveness. Joan Weathersbee Ellason Ph.D., LPC is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings together a unique blend of clinical and faith-based concepts with an innovative and practical approach to the long-needed challenge of forgiveness. The author has worked with trauma survivors for decades and has shown positive treatment outcome in several established scientific journals.
All walks of faith are welcome to read this book. It provides cognitive, clinical, experiential, and spiritual methods to help the reader learn how to completely forgive, rise above situations, and launch into a new level of freedom. This faith-based approach includes many time-honored clinical theories and tools, allowing the reader to move beyond their former state of struggle and into a new level of healing. The exercises presented in this book have been successfully applied by the author in many workshops and in her counseling practice for more than two decades. This work is also comprised of many useful Tables with tangible tools that can be applied and practiced in daily life. With a strong Christian perspective, this book is anchored in scripture, grounded in years of experience, and reported as a phenomenal work that is one of the best in its class.
The purpose of this book is to provide you with a combination of clinical, spiritual, and practical training with true-life examples and some general situations to show you how to rise above some of your own difficulties. All three levels of the process taught are designed to help you reach a level of forgiveness that goes beyond a mere head-level decision (which I refer to as a cerebral level of forgiveness). The purpose of this book is to give you specific and tangible tools that you can apply and adapt to your own unique situation, helping you to achieve a deeper level of emotional freedom.
