Readable, profound, and practical integration of Christian spirituality and psychology
Most books are a labor of love, a long and often difficult work–Chuck DeGroat has said this one was, but it’s so deeply worth it. For years I’ve been wondering if there was a book out there that would be a simple, readable, and deeply practical book that would be an introduction to the many facets of integrating Christian spirituality and tools and modalities used in the therapy room to heal pain and trauma. Finally, this is the book. Chuck masterfully reframes the story we find in Genesis 3 about the entrance of evil and sin into the world, and then uses three questions from God to frame the rest of the book. It is a deep and powerful invitation to be seen by a good God, allow God to move toward you and enter the journey of deeper healing. It’s in invitation beyond symptom management, the level so many books and sermons stay at, into knowing yourself more deeply. Chuck has written this book deeply readable and relatable, offered many stories and more of his own vulnerability than in some of his other books. Some chapters serve as nice introductions to Internal Family Systems, Attachment theory, trauma therapy, and working with addiction. Chuck is extremely well read in all of these things, but does a great job boiling them down with a heart and mind toward the work of God available in them all. At the end of each chapter, exercises and reflection questions are given, as well as further reading recommendations. I really hope many will pick this up as a really good place to start deeper healing of the wounds inside. I’ll be reading again, and recommending to others.

A beautiful invitation to follow a path towards wholeness.
Chuck DeGroatâs Healing Whatâs Within: How to Heal Your Soul is a profound exploration of inner healing that speaks to both the heart and the mind. DeGroat, a seasoned therapist and spiritual director, brings a rare combination of deep humility, extensive knowledge, and an evident care for the soul in this reflective and compassionate book. His approach to healing transcends mere psychological techniques, offering a path to spiritual and emotional restoration that feels both intimate and transformative.What stands out most in Healing Whatâs Within is DeGroatâs humility. From the very beginning, he positions himself not as an expert dispensing solutions but as a fellow traveler on the journey of healing. He acknowledges the complexity and messiness of the human soul, giving readers a sense of safety and permission to explore their own struggles without fear of judgment. His tone is never condescending; instead, it is one of deep empathy and shared vulnerability. He invites readers into a space where healing is not a one-time event, but a continual, evolving process. This approach fosters trust, as it becomes clear that DeGroat does not offer quick fixes, but rather a long-term commitment to growth and transformation.DeGroatâs knowledge of both psychological theory and spiritual formation is another key strength of the book. He deftly weaves together insights from modern psychology, especially attachment theory and trauma-informed care, with a rich understanding of Christian spirituality. His years of experience as a counselor and teacher allow him to unpack complex psychological concepts in a way that is both accessible and practical. However, this intellectual rigor is always balanced with a sensitivity to the unique emotional and spiritual wounds that each person carries. DeGroat recognizes that the soul is not a simple thing to mend, and that healing often requires unearthing painful memories, confronting difficult emotions, and walking through seasons of darkness.The bookâs central message is one of deep care for the soulâsomething that shines through in every chapter. DeGroat consistently emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, the need for community, and the necessity of patience. Healing, in his view, is not about fixing what is broken but about tending to what is wounded with tenderness and respect. He advocates for practices that nurture the soul, such as prayer, reflection, and the cultivation of honest relationships. These practices are not simply therapeutic tools but are seen as pathways to a deeper connection with God and with oneself.One of the most moving aspects of Healing Whatâs Within is DeGroatâs insistence that healing is not a solitary endeavor. He underscores the importance of community and relational support in the healing process. Drawing from his own experiences as both a therapist and a person of faith, he highlights how the presence of othersâwhether a trusted friend, therapist, or spiritual mentorâcan be the means through which we experience Godâs healing touch. This relational aspect gives the book a warmth and accessibility that makes it resonate with anyone seeking healing in their own life.Healing Whatâs Within is a book that combines profound wisdom, practical insight, and deep compassion. Chuck DeGroatâs humility, knowledge, and care for the soul make this a powerful resource for anyone on a journey of emotional and spiritual healing. His ability to blend psychological understanding with spiritual depth creates a holistic framework for healing that feels both grounded and transcendent. This book is a gift to anyone looking to nurture their soul back to wholeness.

A Book Full of Wisdom to Savor and Share
One of the things I love about this book is how Chuck reframes the beginning of the Genesis story to show Godâs gentleness, compassion, curiosity and care in the midst of Adam and Eveâs shame, anxiety, and disconnection. A refreshing and healing read of an old story. Chuck encourages readers to see that each of us can live in a state of disconnection. Yet God moves toward us, longing to connect and inviting us to come Home to ourselves and to God.Every chapter is full of wisdom, stories, resources, and practices that offer encouragement and healing for our own journeys. Healing can begin as we notice whatâs happening within and find a safe space to explore the fullness of our stories.A few of my favorite quotes are:”To bear the image of God is to experience, at your core, an irrevocable inheritance of worth, belonging, purpose.”âWe heal when we attend to what happens within, when we see that each of us is wounded in our own way, each of us coping, each of us often more alone in our pain than weâd dare to admit. No matter the supposed size or scope of what happened, we all need care and presence, safety and attunement.ââWe need communities where our wounds are welcomed, where our long-and-winding journeys Home are stewarded, and where weâre known and loved.ââGod is your compassionate witness, your guiding beacon from within leading every weary and wounded part of you back Home.â”Your soul isn’t in a rush; it simply longs for the space to be known.”This book can be a guide for the path forward. Itâs one to savor and share.

Book brings so much together in a simple, understandable way
I am grateful for this book. Chuck DeGroat uses his own story and his vulnerability to bring together concepts I have been learning about. There were so many aha moments in each chapter as I began to understand Window of Tolerance, attachment theory, attunement, regulation and much more. His three primary questions used throughout the book helped transform my understanding of how God was looking for Adam and Eve in the garden when they were hiding from Him. He wasnât angry and shaming. When God asks âWhere are you?â, He is asking âwith heartache, longing to find themâ. God does the same for me. He asks these questions with longing, compassion and gentleness, pursuing my own story of shame and woundedness with love and curiosity.

âIf you want to heal the wounds that burden you, you begin by paying attention to whatâs happening within you.â In his new book, Chuck DeGroat guides the reader into deep reflection on their inner life and the wounds often left unattended. He gently invites the reader to pay attention to whatâs happening within, and he does that from a place of vulnerability and authenticity. While many people in our communities are experiencing pain and brokenness, Chuck offers himself as an empathetic and compassionate witness. Drawing from his knowledge and experience, he offers a path toward healing and wholeness. Of the many aspects of this book that I appreciate, I especially appreciate his reframing of the story that we find in Genesis chapter three. In the story, we encounter three questions that penetrate deeply and shape our view of God and ourselves. Chuck invites us to hear those questions differently. He invites us to hear the voice of a God who feels a deep ache for the wounds that are within and God who offers healing and hope. With theological depth and therapeutic insight, Chuck offers compassion, wisdom, and hope. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

What a great resource for anyone who is “wounded, weary, and wandering.” It invites self-reflection in a way that is gentle and compassionate.
