Summary

Dr. Dan Allender has pioneered a unique and innovative approach to trauma and abuse therapy over the past 30 years.

Central to Dr. Allender’s theory and approach are the categories of Faith, Hope and Love, and their converses betrayal, ambivalence, and powerlessness.

Through identifying and engaging these categories in one’s personal narrative, healing and transformation can occur by bridging the story of the gospel and the stories of trauma and abuse that mark so many.

First off, a giant thank-you to my sponsors:

Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Institute (SETI)

Trauma may be a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Somatic Experiencing is a psychobiological method of addressing clients’ physical and emotional trauma conditions and helps to give voice to their experiences without a need for them to retell the story.
