A Compassionate Companion for Healing from Spiritual Trauma

Spiritual trauma or harm doesn't just live in your mind. It settles into your body, your emotions, and your sense of self. When Wounding Strikes the Soul offers you a warm, therapeutic pathway to access, process, and move through that pain, however your healing journey unfolds.

Written by therapist A. C. Seiple, this book draws on both clinical insight and personal experience to gently meet you where trauma actually lives: in your gut, your emotions, and your embodied experience. Through raw personal reflections, therapeutic poetry, and invitations to embodied practice, Seiple gently guides you toward reconnecting with your body, reclaiming your voice, and cultivating hope and wholeness.

What you'll find in When Wounding Strikes the Soul:



- Therapeutic poetry written to help you access your emotions

- Embodied practices designed to reconnect you with your body

- A trauma-informed approach offering insight from both professional and lived experience

- Reflection questions designed for individual contemplation or group discussion

When Wounding Strikes the Soul is your invitation to reconnect with your body's wisdom and gain practical tools for your healing journey. If you've felt stuck in your healing process, disconnected from your own body or emotions, or silenced by spiritual harm, this book offers you a gentle place to begin again.
