Hiding from Love Workbook: How to Change the Withdrawal Patterns That Isolate and Imprison You

A workbook to help readers explore their hiding patterns and discover the freedom of connected relationshipsWhen we experience emotional injury, fear, shame, or pride, our first impulse is to hide the hurting parts of ourselves from God, others, and even ourselves. The problem is that when we hide our injuries and frailties, we run from the very things we need to heal and mature. What served as protection for a child becomes a prison to an adult.This workbook helps readers explore the hiding patterns they have developed and guides them toward the healing grace and truth that God has built into safe, connected relationships with himself and others.
