In Trauma and the Soul, Donald Kalsched continues the exploration he began in his first book, The Inner World of Trauma (1996)—this time going further into the mystical or spiritual moments that often occur around the intimacies of psychoanalytic work. Through extended clinical vignettes, including therapeutic dialogue and dreams, he shows how depth psychotherapy with trauma’s survivors can open both analytic partners to "another world" of non-ordinary reality in which daimonic powers reside, both light and dark.

The central theme of the book is Kundalini, a mystical force said to reside at the base of the spine that can lead to profound spiritual transformation and enlightenment.

We have learned how to suppress our pain and deny its presence, but when we fight against our internal turmoil, glimmers of peace are short-lived. Rejecting our suffering is not a sustainable solution because trauma is held in the body. In this book, Nityda Gessel invites listeners on a journey toward lasting freedom, with insights and experiential practices that marry the wisdom of Buddhist psychology, yogic teachings, and Indigenous understanding with somatic psychotherapy and neuroscience.

If you are longing to experience God more than the shame or hurts of your past, the pressures of your present, or the fear of your future, Brave Surrender offers a soul-healing path forward.

Once we let go of anything that gets between us and God, we are freed to take hold of the life that truly matters.

In Serving a Movement, best-selling author and pastor Timothy Keller looks at the nature of the church’s mission and its relationship to the work of individual Christians in the world. He examines what it means to be a “missional” church today and how churches can practically equip people for missional living. Churches need to intentionally cultivate an integrative ministry that connects people to God, to one another, to the needs of the city, and to the culture around us.

Brainwashing is often associated with cartoonish villains who use outrageous methods to compel their victims to do their bidding. In Hollywood films, it’s commonly depicted that victims undergo a series of treatments in order to have their will essentially subjugated to that of their master’s. As a result, the victim stops thinking for themselves. Instead, the victim ends up acting and behaving in the manner the master or manipulator orders them to do. 

God has so much more in store for you than you have allowed yourself to receive. The blessings he wants for you are eternal. Those eternal treasures will then lead to the earthly manifestations you desire. "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32). Your current place in life doesn't have to be a permanent stop unless you want it to be. He is always working things out in your favor.
