About this audiobook
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.
