Gathering Stars: Reflections, Practices, and Prayers in Trauma Recovery -- Jennifer Ohman-Rodriguez, Paperback
In 2016, Jennifer's husband Tony-who was a therapist specializing in trauma recovery-slipped
away before her eyes into a raging river. In the aftermath, she experienced many unanswered
questions about God and healing. Immersed in her late husband's clinical library, alongside the raw
writings of the psalmists and prophets of her faith, she discovered a path to healing based on both
spiritual and clinical care.
Gathering Stars braids together contemplative reflections, trauma-informed prayers, and somatic
practices to support healing of body, mind, soul, and spirit. As a progressive Christian pastor,
Jennifer Ohman-Rodriguez reaches for glimmers of hope amid despair in unlikely places, including
the Judeo-Christian scriptures that rage at God with uncensored grief, anger, and doubt. Reflection
on these raw passages gives rise to honest prayers that open the heart to real healing facilitated by
researched-based clinical practices delivered in written and smart-phone accessible video formats.
