The battle of healing from the past can be a long and difficult journey. Guilt, shame, embarrassment, pain, and hardship can deter us from finding the help, hope, and healing we ultimately desire and deserve. Thankfully today, we get the opportunity glean from both the wisdom and experience of our guest who is no stranger to understanding how difficult it can be to look at your brokenness, heal, and move forward. Our guest today is a renowned licensed therapist, speaker, and now author, Jason VanRuler. Jason joins us today to unpack his new book that will be releasing October 10th titled, Get Past Your Past: How Facing Your Broken Places Leads to True Connection. In and throughout the pages of this book as well during our conversation today Jason invites us to address our past pain and hurt to fully embrace love and connection. Through offering empathy, grace and a hand to hold as he shares his own trauma and struggles with alcohol, drug use, and depression combined with his professional knowledge from over a decade helping patients face their brokenness Jason strives to help each of us find the healing and authentic connection we long for.  Links to Visit: https://www.jasonvr.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jason.vanruler/ https://www.youtube.com/c/Jasonvrcounselor https://www.tiktok.com/@jason.vanruler https://www.amazon.com/Get-Past-Your-Facing-Connection/dp/0310367417
