The Path to Wholeness: Managing Emotions, Finding Healing, and Becoming Our Best Selves
Ebook
Emotions are confusing, frustrating, and scary, but they don’t have to be.
Everyone experiences emotions—some easy, some difficult. Dealing with them should be common sense, and yet it isn’t. Even though emotions are not uncommon to the human experience, we lack the language to fully understand and express them. This failure to understand can often lead to frustration and broken relationships.
In The Path to Wholeness, Dr. Mark Mayfield teaches readers how to slow down and explore the way our emotions develop. He examines the toll unexpressed emotions take on an individual and highlights the importance of paying attention to them. Start your journey to emotional wholeness and be transformed.
This book will challenge you to
- look inward at your own experience and your own history;
- reflect on how these things have shaped, informed, and influenced you, your family, and your relationships;
- dissect your current understanding of emotions, your emotional vocabulary, and your emotional responses; and
- follow practical and actionable steps to rethink and rework how you see and experience emotions.
In The Path to Wholeness, Dr. Mark Mayfield helps readers make sense of their feelings, emotions, and relationships to live happier, more fulfilling lives. I highly recommend it.
Emotions are often seen as a problem for our lives. Especially when our emotions are painful, we don’t trust them and try to avoid them. Yet, as Dr. Mayfield explains, emotions are a blessing from God when we face, understand, express, and mature them. This process offers a significant contribution for our lives and growth.
In the book you are holding, Dr. Mark Mayfield writes in a transparent and vulnerable manner, sharing from his clinical experiences and from his personal journey. We both found this book not only loaded with insight but also rich with application for readers. Do more than read this book—digest it, take notes, and pass it on to others who are thirsty to understand more of what a journey to wholeness offers.
Language is a structured system of communication. Imagine, though, living your whole life being told that your mother tongue, the one that you speak most readily, is nonsense. Imagine, also, what it might mean to meet someone who not only believes that language to be valuable but also speaks it so fluently that your entire being cries out with relief. Our emotions are that language, and many inside and outside the church have been taught that it is worse than nonsense. In The Path to Wholeness, Dr. Mark Mayfield gives readers back the language they spoke with ease as young children and often feel deeply alienated from as adults. And in so doing, he has paved a path to healing for many.
Managing emotions. Finding healing. Becoming our best selves. Those aren’t just the small-print words on the cover. They are the deep takeaways I believe you’ll gain from reading this insightful, extremely honest, hope-filled, and faith-strengthening book. I’ve met Dr. Mayfield. Heard him impact and inspire large groups. But this book is personal. And I think it can be incredibly helpful to you at a deep, personal level. Especially if, like me, you need to gain wisdom in dealing with emotions. If you’re ready to learn skills that can give you a genuine path out of fear, anxiety, and shame. And if you’re ready to believe you can rewrite and live out a new narrative for your life story.
Dr. Mark Mayfield has given us a rich combination of brain science, trauma awareness, attachment theory, and related theology to help us understand our own emotional landscape. The Path to Wholeness provides language and guidance that will help readers know the steps to move forward in their own healing. Mayfield’s wisdom is compassionately given from the perspective of someone who is genuinely journeying along with his readers.
