In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews counselor and author Lauren Whitman about her book, A Painful Past: Healing and Moving Forward. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are:

• Why is it important to spend time reflecting on who God is and how he relates to us when taking the first toward healing and moving forward from a painful past?
• Why can this process be viewed as "a journey of lament?"
• Why is it important for us to take the time to sift through the details of what has happened in our past?
• How do you counsel people who are wrestling with the question, “Where was God when this was
happening?”
• What are some biblical encouragements you’d offer to someone who get stuck thinking “What if the past repeats
itself?”
• At what point should we consider sharing our painful past with someone like a counselor, mentor, or loved one?
