You will get through this

Trauma survivors are often told to “just move on” or “get over it”—but rarely are they shown how.

Moving Forward provides the practical answers we crave when our world feels shattered:

  • How do I pick up the pieces and mend the jagged edges back together?
  • How do I navigate life after trauma, knowing everything has changed?
  • How can I handle being triggered?
  • Do I need to forgive?
  • How do I trust again?

This book offers more than reassurance—it gives you the tools to move through suffering without being defined by it. You’ll build an arsenal to manage painful memories, difficult emotions, and the patterns that keep you stuck.

You can create a life you desire and deserve—not one shackled to the pain of your past.

"Seeking help for myself.

I have been ill for some time now. I feel helpless needing rides to Dr. Appointments. I wanted to feel myself again. I spotted this book and thought maybe reading it wood help. Half way through the book, I realized what I had to do! A wonderful book!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"An excellent book for all types of trauma.

This book hit home for me because I want to help someone I love to move forward after their trauma. What I realized when reading this book is that we all will experience something that brings us to our knees at least once in our lifetime. We do not need to have been through the same traumatic experiences in order to listen and be with people we care about. The suggested activities Dr. Hutchins has personally used and recommends will provide results that every person needs to navigate the 'bring you to your knees' events of life.
Now I can help the person I love and help myself.
