Brown vulnerably opened-up to Dr. Michelle Caulk and for the first time spoke out loud about her past trauma, abuse, and struggle with self-love. The new book Healing Out Loud: How to Embrace God\u2019s Love When You Don\u2019t Like Yourself by Brown and Dr. Caulk - assistant professor and director of clinical experiences at Huntington University \u2013 is a unique look at a one-year counseling journey from both sides of the couch: the client and the therapist. For as long as she could remember, Brown had strong negative feelings towards herself. \u201cI loved God, my family, and my job,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI was also intellectually aware of the love they had for me. But for some unknown reason, I still felt unloved and unlovable \u2013 and like a complete failure. I didn\u2019t like myself and believed, in my own inner cave, that no one else did either.\u201d Healing Out Loud captures the insecurities that many women face and creates an accessible path for readers to overcome their vulnerabilities while using biblical principles. Each chapter includes a journal entry from Brown processing her healing journey, Brown\u2019s reflections on that part of her story, and guided questions and reflections from Dr. Caulk centered around issues such as shame, grief, and fractured relationships. A \u201cHealing Map\u201d created by Dr. Caulk is used as an outline throughout Healing Out Loud to guide the reader\u2019s journey from processing inner pain to liking oneself, loving God, and restoring relationships Sandi Brown is the founder and President of Gateway Creative Broadcasting in St. Louis.
