The guide will take facilitators through a 16-week program that begins by assisting the service member or veteran in understanding the nature of trauma, particularly the spiritual aspects of trauma and concludes with discussions about resilience and growth. Along with this guide, which includes videos and a journal for enrollees, the author has written a book, Beyond Trauma: Hope and Healing for Warriors. The book further explains the concepts of this program: how cognitive restructuring may be adapted to Scripture and employed in the treatment of individuals suffering from the most negative effects of trauma.
