Mark Vegh resides in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada, with his wife and three children. Mark is a registered clinical counselor and works as a child and youth mental health therapist with the Ministry of Children and Family Development. He has completed a bachelor degree in pastoral theology and a master’s in counseling.
It might sound like Mark has things well together, but here’s the catch. By the time Mark was twenty-seven years old, he was twice divorced—a far cry from what a healthy Bible student and upcoming family counselor usually looks like. However, Mark believes that he has found perspective and skills along the way that has helped him remain relatively whole and untainted by the hurts and pain of emotional crisis. Some of the sanity-saving tidbits he found were taught to him, some he fell upon by accident, and others he studied and practiced.
In A Broken Therapist’s Guide to Completeness, Mark explains how so many of us live with a fragmented perspective due to hurts and traumas of the past. We try to hide from our pain or push it away, but it only makes us rigid, cautious, and defensive. Or rather we stew on the past bumps and bruises, becoming resentful and bitter. Mark uses the funny, the serious, and the irreverent to show you the wizard behind the curtain of moving beyond crisis, a little concept that encapsulates the things he found that works—it’s called dialectics.view less
