From chronic physical pain to deep emotional hurts, we are all, at some level, in need of healing. And healing, writes author Stephen Arterburn, is a choice, although not our choice, it is God's choice. While that may lead us to understand that healing is out of our hands, there are several things we do or believe that can stand in the way of God's healing in our lives.

Forgiveness is an essential part of being a Christian, but that doesn't make it easy. What do we do when confronted with the unforgivable - an act that shakes our moral foundations to their roots, often committed by someone trusted and loved? Murder, sexual abuse, adultery - all leave lifelong wounds. Thankfully, they are all trespasses that, through the grace of God, can be forgiven.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Publisher's Summary
From the creators of the best-selling Life Recovery series, Take Your Life Back is a groundbreaking look at how to overcome unhealthy relationships and love others well. Counselors Stephen Arterburn and David Stoop offer personal examples, clinical insight, and scriptural truth to help you navigate your toughest relationships.
Do you have a relationship that leaves you feeling drained? Maintaining and improving this kind of relationship - whether it's a spouse, a friend, or a child - can feel exhausting, fruitless, and toxic to your own health. It's complicated: You love the person, but sometimes you feel as if you're pouring all your energy into holding your loved one, and your relationship, together. And if he or she failed or stumbled - would that make you a failure, too? What would happen if you walked away?
Arterburn and Stoop have helped millions walk the path of health through their New Life Ministries and counseling center - and now, in Take Your Life Back, they reach out to those who walk the path alongside them. We are called to love one another deeply, but it is possible to support your loved one in a way that honors the relationship, God, and yourself. Take Your Life Back is the key to fostering healthy, God-honoring attachments that benefit you and the one you love.

A clear path to emotional health and wholeness
All the information it has taken me years to gather was systemically documented in this book.
After just a few chapters I felt confident that the changes I have been making to become a better me and closer to the ME God Intended, were the right choices, but sadly, long overdue.
I enjoyed the Biblical references that were sprinkled throughout this book and the examples of concepts that were demonstrated using scripture.
I already had deep respect for these authors after reading a couple of their other books, and I am happy to say my expectations were not disappointed.
If you are being controlled or feel like your life and relationships are not what you hoped, this is an amazing book to start a new journey toward a new more fulfilling life.

No better time for this wise advice than today.
If you are a human being that knows you have been through bruises of the soul that still could use healing, this book sets you in the right direction. For practical understanding, to challenge us to take the steps to change that God empowers us to do. Our future is determined by what we do today, knowing what we know today that produces results for times to come.

Depressing
Wow
I thought this book would give me hope but I was very disappointed.
I realize my childhood was the result of what makes me now.
I've was pretty discouraged as I read this book making me feel more hopeless. It would be nice if a therapist could erase all the harm caused by a messed up childhood but they can't. It would be nice if Celebrate Recovery could help or AA or any other group for that matter. All self help is like a band aid.
God in his love helps us move past all that. We've got to keep going. Looking back is not healing!
This book reads like Celebrate Recovery, or AA etc.
