About this listen

Read by the author.

Why does our past pain continue to affect our present?

Though many of us can point to patterns of brokenness in our lives, we don’t know why they're there. No matter how hard we work, we can’t seem to outrun the very things that break our hearts. That's because our everyday setbacks are rooted in our unaddressed wounds.

In Why Am I Like This? seminary-trained, licensed trauma therapist Kobe Campbell helps us understand why it’s so hard to break these patterns as she offers us a deeper understanding of how our past shapes our present. With tender wisdom, rare vulnerability, and profound honesty, Kobe reminds each reader that they’re not alone, empowering them to step into healing with evidence-based, faith-filled coping skills and resources.

In Why Am I Like This?, you will:

  • gain an understanding of what trauma and healing really are,
  • explore the roots of your dysfunctional patterns,
  • learn how your trauma shows up in your everyday life, and
  • find trauma-informed, faith-based coping mechanisms to heal your mind and deepen your intimacy with God.

Kobe marries theological insight with therapeutic principles to give readers the tools and insights needed to begin their journey of restoration.

Reflection questions, checklists, and personal exercises are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Kobe openly shares her story and her journey of healing from trauma. I love the way in which she interweaves her experiences, and information about trauma and it’s treatment, along with the growth of her Christian faith and her relationship God. The book is full of very helpful insights. I particularly liked the way in which Kobe shared about God meeting us in our trauma with great love and kindness.

I found Kobe on TikTok and loved her advice so rushed to get her book. It’s great but as a non-christian I found it hard in parts with all the Jesus and bible references, even though I believe in god ( just a different faith).

There is still lots of valuable tips - lots of it I’ll try to implement - but definitely be aware of the christian references.

Great book but is targeted to christians
