Recovering from Child Abuse by David Powlison

Recovering from Child Abuse by David Powlison

The damage you suffered may have been done in one terrible moment or over time. But the healing and the restoration will unfold at your pace, at a human pace. It unfolds as part of your story, and it unfolds over time.

As a vulnerable child, instead of being protected, helped, and comforted, you were physically, emotionally, and/or sexually abused. Learn how to express your experience to God by composing your own personal liturgy. Pouring out your heart to God will begin the healing process and lead to the small growing steps of faith and restoration.

David Powlison was the executive director of the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation in Glenside, Pennsylvania, and the editor of the Journal of Biblical Counseling (MDiv, Westminster Theological Seminary; MA, PhD, University of Pennsylvania). He was a board member and fellow of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors and taught at Westminster Theological Seminary.
