Homecoming: Healing Trauma to Reclaim Your Authentic Self

This book serves as an excellent primer for any Therapist doing trauma work. When I suggest to my clients who are working through what it means to reconnect with themselves, they most oftentimes say “I don’t even know what that looks like” or “I don’t even know where to start.” For those clients I’m going to start working with them through this book. The book leaves no stone unturned as it talks about full embodiment of the self, from an emotional, psychological and spiritual aspect.” Even if clients are not spiritual, this book can even be used to talk about the higher self…the best version of yourself. So I believe anyone can take something away from this book. It’s a reflective, cultural, and introspective piece of work that requires you to sit with yourself in ways that many of my clients have never sat with themselves before. I’m so excited about this work. I’m thankful and grateful that this message was placed on Dr. Thema’s heart to create. I think it’s an excellent guide for those who have looked around in their lives, and realized, that it’s time to take the journey back to self.

Beautifully written and excellent for anyone in search of their authentic self!

This audiobook changed my life. I have been listening to Dr. Thema’s podcast for a few years. I want everyone in the world to read this book and learn how to live their best lives. I’m surprised it doesn’t have 100,000 reviews. Thanks Dr. Thema.

I love this book and the representation. Homecoming is an awesome read. This book aids in the facilitation of recognizing what might have caused disconnection from yourself and what can be done to return home to your authentic self. Dr. Thema is a phenomenal author, psychologist and advocate for social justice.

If you can’t afford a therapist, this is the next best thing!

What a gift….. This book is so amazing I purchased this book and I photographed the cover and the bio which I posted on the Knubia Book Club website. This powerful book is brilliant, I am reading it very carefully because it is not only a book, it is my therapy, my manual, it ministers to me as well. It is a treasure to me, and I thank you for writing this precious gift to help your sisters “become our authentic selves” Grace and peace, your sister in Christ Jesus.

Dr. Thema is a psychiatrist’s psychiatrist and a pastor’s pastor. She says it very gently, but she still says it—a lot of truths that contrast what many people were taught in church or in their families. She names the invisible and the subtle. This book is a healing journey for the very wounded, who are breaking their chains and don’t want to pass on their trauma to the next generation.

Half why through and slowly becoming at home with myself. Loving every page and story! This has changed my whole perspective in the way I think about myself! Also has brought me close in my relationship with God! A must read!

Probably the best book I’ve ever read all year!Highly recommend!! Dr. Thema is truly a gem of our generation. Each chapter tackles layers of ourselves that we didn’t even know needed healing!

I feel so seen, understood and completely cared for!!!!!! This book is everything that I needed. It is challenging to find a book that melds and complements faith with psychology. I have always believed that both disciplines are necessary for growth and development. Dr Bryant’s book does just that. There are so many people that need to come home to themselves. This book is instrumental in help people do that and more. The homework at the end of each chapter helps you to apply all that you have learned in your daily life. I highly recommend this book! It’s a great read!!!!

Some words, carefully crafted, have the power to transform you in big and small ways. That’s the power of Homecoming. What a treasure!!!’

I had an opportunity to heat the author on a podcast. I’ve read a bit,,and it appeared to be quality. I’m looking forward to continuing to read this book.

As a psychologist myself, this is one of the best books that I have read in 10 years. I will be using it as a resource for myself and my clients. Highly recommend

quality condition as represented

I have been following Dr. Thema on social media for daily doses of inspiration & encouraging words. When she announced that she was writing a book I chose to support her. I was excited for her, but little did I know that the opening chapter would usher me into a deep healing. Turns out the book is my blessing. Her words are healing.

A very easy and relatable format. It flows and allowed me to analyze myself in a loving way, without harsh judgment. Insightfully.

This is a very impactful book. Dr. Bryant is excellent clinician and storyteller. Her words are full of compassion and understanding, This book was all in my business in a good way, it like she knew what I had experienced and how to start finding my way home!!! Great book

This was a great informative read!!

I have read just about every self help / spiritual / holistic / healing type book published in the last 25 years. I’ve done yoga, acupuncture, therapy, you name it. Nothing has been able to really address what’s missing.HOME.I’ve always had a house, a home, a family, friends, but I have never felt at home in myself. This concept just really reasonates and has flipped a switch for me. I feel like within a day of listening to a couple of chapters in the audiobook, I am more calm and at peace, and better able to show care and attunement to myself. Something I struggle with.

This book was written for me…All that is missing is a signature and best of luck message from the author

Beautifully written and easy to grasp. Filled with gems of learnings.

This book is so loving and gentle. It really helped guide me back to myself. It’s not an easy journey and it will always be continuous effort, but she allows you to believe that it is possible and WORTH it. Because we are worth it! I even bought it for a couple of people because I truly believe in her work! Thank you so much for writing this book!

From the very beginning this book captivated me. I was sitting on the beach reading the first chapter and the healing began. I sent a copy of this book to my nephew who needs therapy but won’t go. My hope is that he also begins to heal and seek the therapy he needs. Thanks to Dr Thema for an amazing read.

I had to comeBack and purchase two more books just so i can get it in my friend’s hands! I love love love how this book pushes us out of being stuck. It helps us to extend Grace to ourselves, and to come back home.

Started with the podcast and the book is the cherry on top. She covers all parts of growth. She gave me the courage to go to therapy. It feels good to come home to yourself.

This book is food for the soul, spirit and mind. I haven’t read a book in a while but it’s hard to put this one down. I can feel my healing taking place as I digest each word. I’ve read many self-help books. So far this book is one of the best I’ve ever read. Thank you Dr. Thema! I can’t wait to read the next one!

Even if we forgot who we are after reading this book your Spirit will awaken and you will believe in yourself again.Self love rises within you and you will remember and embrace yourself with the truth. You are Love and Loved.Gift yourself with this book. Truthfully and Beautifully written.You matter…..

Dr. Thema has an amazing gift for speaking to the soul and helping us heal our own wounds deep down inside with her comforting words and heartwarming stories. Thank you for creating this book. I did the audiobook on audible through amazon. I love it so far and can’t stop listening to the positivity and encouragement that comes with this journey back home to myself with you all. I really love the podcast and did a poem submission once and it was an honor to be added to a part of her work. I am eager to see what is her next project and future endeavors to continue seeking how to be our best selves and better connect with our heart, mind, body, and soul. 5 Stars all the way around. Well put together and well worth the time to read or listen. her voice is also very soothing and healing too.

The missing part in my healing journey was learning about decolonization psychology, and how any therapy that doesn’t include this aspect of my healing is incomplete. (I’ve had >6 therapists in my life, but never heard this). This book has radically changed my life for multiple reasons. I don’t have anything left to prove to society, and my value isn’t in working twice as hard to get results – I’m valuable all on my own.

This is a beautiful book about coming home to yourself and authentic living. It’s nuanced and reflective of real life healing.
