Faith, grief, and trauma-informed practice

Jennifer Ohman-Rodriguez brings together Christian spiritual reflection and clinical approaches to trauma recovery, shaped by her experience of losing her husband in a river accident. The book draws on biblical passages that voice grief, anger, and doubt, pairing contemplative reflections with prayers and somatic practices. Its approach treats healing as involving body, mind, soul, and spirit, and presents practices in written form as well as through smartphone-accessible videos. The combination places spiritual questions alongside practical, trauma-informed care, without requiring grief or doubt to be left outside the conversation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking Christian resources for reflecting on grief and trauma recovery.
  • Readers interested in trauma-informed prayers and somatic practices.
  • Those exploring how scripture and clinical approaches can inform spiritual care.

Book overview

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.
