Many people have experienced trauma and problems in their life that created pain and chaos and left lingering emotional wounds. The negative patterns of emotions and behavior that follow can last for decades since these wounds are rarely healed by time alone. Faith Winters has been there and healed from a traumatized, chaotic past into abundant, healthy life. She knows healing is possible. Fundamentals was written to give insight into healthy ways of functioning and be able to recognize the hindering patterns that develop in a life touched by trauma. As the first book in the Trauma Healing Series, Fundamentals gives an overview of the primary principles on which a healthy life is based, the rights each person has for themselves, in relation with others and with the world; and how these rights contribute to discovering a healthy fulfilling life. The next three books in the series, Restoration, Connections, and Abundance, will go deeply into the skill-building process for healing old wounds and moving into a pattern of healthy living.
