What happens after the floodwaters recede?
Arête Purpose partner Elizabeth M. Johnson, LMFT, LCSW is one of 11 women sharing deeply personal stories of transformation in the new book Christ Illumined.
In her essay, “When Floodwaters Recede: From Self-Betrayal to Wisdom and Wholeheartedness,” Elizabeth reflects on her own journey through trauma—and the difficult, beautiful work of finding her way toward healing, wisdom and a more wholehearted life.
It is a story about what can emerge when we begin listening to ourselves again.
About discovering that even after profound disruption, a new way of being can begin.
