Purchase options and add-ons

Whether through our own fallen temperament, willful disobedience, or as victims of the hurtful actions of others, many of us struggle with crippling emotions, among them perfectionism, depression, and low self-worth. The pain of such emotions is often present with us even though the incidents and relationships that caused the hurt may be long past.

Healing for Damaged Emotions, first published in 1981 and since translated into over 15 languages, has helped over a million readers worldwide deal honestly and successfully with their inner hurts. Through the realistic, scriptural approach that Dr. David Seamands brings to this deeply personal subject, you too can find healing--and then become an agent of healing for other strugglers.

Good read and wonderful gift!!!
So I was told about this book from my best friend who read it in the past. When my family member was going through major depression (amongst other accumulated issues), I took a chance and sent it the person as a surprise gift. When it arrived to their house, I received a this pic along with a wonderful comment about how surprised they were and looking forward to reading it! They were VERY grateful for my gesture and felt appreciated. I was very pleased!

Very helpful. Not judgmental or mean spirited, the author gives his testimony of living and participating in the the shepherding movement. The need for accountability among certain leaders and the subsequent ideas were good and made sense. But what may have begun in the Spirit, became fueled by the flesh. I read this book because my experience in the movement was similar to the author's; I have learned hard lessons since leaving it. Though the "leaders" were merely men, I allowed myself to believe what they taught without question; they interpreted the Word of God with an agenda. My blind loyalty to men transcended my loyalty to God. His word became secondary in my faith. In my heart, I followed men and not God. My loyalty rested in the pleasing of men and not in following the Holy Spirit. I was deceived, but God in His mercy, showed me my sin of idolatry.

The author is adamant that God's truth prevails. We are to study God's word in context, with the Holy Spirit speaking to our hearts. We nurture our personal relationship with God; we grow as the Holy Spirit makes Jesus real to us. His Word comes alive as we press into Him.

The topic of forgiveness is included as imperative to moving forward - those who may have harmed our faith, or even our lives, as well as forgiving ourselves. There is no other way to leave the past behind and press on to the life we have been called to live for His glory.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who was in the shepherding (or discipleship) movement to root out any self condemnation, "justified" resentment, or confusion in their relationship with God.

The Rebecca Review
5.0 out of 5 stars Surviving the Storms of Life
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2012

We all know what it takes to survive a storm like a hurricane. Either you hunker down and wait it out or you get as far away from the storm as possible. I've survived hurricanes and also survived many emotional storms. For some reason the emotional storms I've experienced always lasted years while hurricanes only threatened me for a few days. In this book David Seamonds discusses the types of storms that rage within the human soul. He explains depression, low self-esteem and perfectionism and how they can ruin your life. He also gives suggestions for how to effectively heal from the trauma of life. I felt that this book was straight talk for real life issues. Is it really as simple as becoming more grateful for the life we now have? I'd say this is key in overcoming depression for sure. I felt I agreed with most of this book except for the idea that people who have been abused have some responsibility in the matter. I don't think a child can be responsible for being abused. But apart from that this is an excellent book that will spark conversations with those you love. It will help you see situations more clearly and maybe you can give hope to a fellow human.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changer
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2011

This book is for those afflicted with insecurity, perfectionism, guilt and striving. You probably don't know your affliction before you pick up this book. You just know something is wrong.

Maybe you get no satisfaction from life. Maybe you feel God does not hear you. You keep striving for acceptance from God and others. But you can never get the acceptance or affirmation you so desperately think you need.

I felt that Seamands understood and identified the outwardly symptoms. He was able to predictably infer related harmful behaviors that all grow from one root issue. He then explains the inner struggles we have related to these harmful behaviors.

The starting point for Healing Damaged Emotions........truly, freely accept God's Love and Grace. It is not earned. You can never do enough to deserve it. You are worthy of God's love and acceptance. Through Seamand's discussion, you learn that through Jesus Christ, God showed that he understands our suffering. Through Christ, we are loved just the way we are.

Candidly, I heard this all my life. But I lived always trying to prove myself so that I earned that love and acceptance. The fact of the matter is that if you feel that way about your relationship with God, you also feel that way about how you love others.

Seamands opened my eyes to a new foundation for how I live and see the world.

So, if you strive, live with guilt, dominate to hide insecurity, seek affirmation constantly, or try to achieve perfection in everything.......let go. Seamands reached me in a way no others have before. This book is a Life Changer.

This book is for those that are hurt and broken. It is a tool that can be used for people to be able to have the inner healing that they need. We get broken by our families, our mistakes, our relationships, our own lack of self esteem, and although prayer can change many things, some things need much more than prayer. This book is very practical and easy to understand for ourselves and others that are locked into self destructive patterns. Healing is definitely available if we are willing to do the work.

This is a very good book which I will likely read again and refer to again. Damaged emotions can only be truly healed by God and it is the Holy Spirit who knows the root cause(s) to each emotional wound and He knows which ones need to be dealt with first. This book gives insight into what some root causes for some emotional woundings might be. It also demonstrates how this emotional baggage then leads people into destructive behaviour that they so desperately want to stop but don't know how.
