LEARNING to HEAL: Understanding Forgiveness, Healing, Restoration, and the Journey Back Wholeness

Healing begins when we stop allowing the past to control the present.Learning to Heal is a practical and compassionate journey through Forgiveness, Healing, Restoration, Identity, and Wholeness.David and Kristi Portillo explore how wounds from childhood, parents, siblings, marriage, rejection, betrayal, abandonment, anger, bitterness, and broken relationships can continue affecting our lives long after the original experience has ended.This book teaches you how to face what happened without allowing it to define who you are. You will learn why Forgiveness is essential to Healing, how to release anger and resentment, establish healthy boundaries, forgive yourself, grieve what you never received, and separate your true Identity from painful experiences.Forgiveness does not mean the person who hurt you was right. It does not require you to excuse abuse, deny what happened, restore trust immediately, or return to an unhealthy relationship.Through Truth, Forgiveness, healthy boundaries, and the unconditional Love of God, we can recover what pain tried to take from us and move forward into Freedom.You cannot change what happened, but you can change what it is allowed to continue doing within you.Learning to Heal is about more than surviving your past. It is about becoming whole again and learning to live Healed instead of wounded.
