Understanding Trauma and Resilience

World Religions

“With clarity and pastoral attentiveness Evan Marbury reframes trauma as pain that alters—not pain that merely hurts—and invites readers to imagine healing as more than a return to baseline functioning. Without relying on technical jargon, the book illustrates how trauma, when met with attuned and dignifying care, can give rise to resilience, deeper meaning making, and spiritual growth, and it does so without minimizing suffering or rushing hope. This is a practical and humane resource for counselors, caregivers, and ministers seeking to accompany others with discernment, care, and humility.”
