Second Edition
We are being attacked by the chaos of natural disasters, violence, hateful protest, social rudeness and vulgarity, political death threats, and moral decay. The claws of evil are inflicting trauma everywhere.
Terrorism, social violence, and man-made and natural disasters are overwhelming our societies, and neither our governments nor our mental health systems really understand what is looming in front of us. This book addresses the psychological and spiritual components of trauma and evil that are critical to coping with unexpected and shocking reality.
An event is traumatic because it disrupts your previously secure sense of self. So when something disastrous happens, the psychological damage from the shattering of your illusions about life and identity may be more problematic than any physical damage. When your life is motivated by pure faith, hope, and love, trauma has no place to sink its claws in you.
