Editorial Reviews

Review

Readers will be drawn in by real-life stories of individuals struggling with deep issues. In the first chapter, Agers-Brooks shares her story of being in a black, bleak hole when God brought a Jewish woman who survived Auschwitz to her. The story is totally riveting. Throughout the book, readers will feel like Agers-Brooks knows their situation and is walking alongside them.  -- Neil Bartlett ― CBA Retailers+Resources Published On: 2015-04-01

I found this book to be a very insightful and inspirational read. The author explains (in a clear and easy-to-follow format) how to get through a traumatic experience and rise above it to live a positive, happy life (no matter what the past). She gently reminds readers that God does not abandon people when life gets tough; He is there right beside us, helping us to get through it. I liked how she presented a wide variety of challenges, such as death, illness, financial problems, and abuse to show that different difficulties affect people in different ways, but there is a way to overcome all of it. I think this book would be very beneficial to anyone going through a difficult time. -- Charity Tober ― Readers' Favorite Published On: 2015-05-01

[Getting Through What You Can't Get Over] is a well-presented self-help guide filled with the author's insights on survival and healing. Her opening story of her meeting with Dr. Eger is fascinating, and I was touched by the author's fearless candor in discussing her emotional state as she interacted with Eger. I was also impressed by her inclusive and thorough coverage of the causes of PTSD and found many of her exercises and guided meditation concepts to be well-considered. They should be quite guided meditation concepts to be well-considered. They should be quite helpful for Christians, especially those who are conversant with the Bible and Biblical study. -- Jack Magnus ― Readers' Favorite Published On: 2015-05-01

Reading Getting Through What You Can't Get Over helped me get over feelings of aloneness in the face of the challenges of my past year, and offered me concrete methods to deal with those challenges. Each chapter ends with Insider Insights: emotional healing, spiritual comfort, practical help, then a guided prayer directly related to the trauma discussed in that chapter. It took me a while to get through Getting Through What You Can't Get Over because I savored and reflected upon each one of those prayers. It was well worth the time. -- Jane Allen Petrick ― Readers' Favorite Published On: 2015-05-23

From the Author

If you struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, Compassion Fatigue, Secondary Traumatic Stress, or any other symptom from painful emotions, I first off want you to know you are not alone. Your hurts matter and so do you. 

Getting Through What You Can't Get Over tells multiple true stories of real people who have faced common traumas, and not only learned how to survive, but to thrive in spite of life-altering events. Bringing inspiration, practical application, and spiritual foundations together, I offer you a key to find lasting peace in spite of uncontrollable circumstances. 

My heart is to help you learn how to navigate your dark valleys, until you eventually step back into the light of true living. As you read, you will discover I understand from personal experience how a traumatic situation can turn your life upside down. But I also know from experience, as well as from those whose stories I tell, that it is possible to laugh again, in spite of tragedy or blindsiding moments. 

My prayer is that you too, will get through your pain and perhaps find a purpose beyond anything you can imagine. Whether your issues are physical, financial, relational, emotional, or spiritual, there are people who have walked before you, and who are willing to guide you to freedom faster. There is a light beyond the valley, and Getting Through What You Can't Get Over is meant to help you step boldly and joyfully into it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Positive and Inspirational!
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017

Life is certainly unpredictable. Most of us find ourselves going through any number of difficult times during our lives. When we are stuck in those difficult times, and replay them over and over again, it can leave us feeling distraught and hopeless. This book is all about finding ways to overcome past traumas to live a happier, more fulfilling life.

This is a wonderfully positive book. It’s filled with real life examples and tons of excellent advice for moving past some of life’s most painful experiences. The author’s writing is incredibly genuine and honest. It’s clear she’s filled the pages of this book with her most positive intentions. By also including music suggestions, Biblical scripture and prayer at the end of each chapter, readers are given added incentive to get through personal pain and trauma.

Although there are many Biblical references throughout, this book never comes across as being “preachy”. I found it incredibly uplifting and encouraging. I highly recommend reading Getting Through What You Can’t Get Over!

Have you lost hope of ever getting over a traumatic experience? Are you searching for a resource to encourage someone else who may be suffering from some heartbreaking life event? Often it helps to know that someone else has survived a similar event when we're hurting. These true stories penned by Anita Brooks offer inspiration and hope for hurting people and for those who want to help others get through what they can't get over.

Anita Brooks captures the emotional heartbreak that comes with traumatic events, and she helps us all see that we really can get through what we can't seem to get over. I encourage you to buy a copy for yourself or someone you love who is hurting.

I got this book on a whim. It was so helpful to me and came at a perfect time in my life. It has some helpful facts about getting through life, along with scriptures that helped me a lot. Forgiving yourself and others is in one section. I adore this part the most. I would not say I'm a religious person, and I felt spiritual to my bone.

I read all the way through this one. I am not a Christian but one can easily recognize good practical approaches and advice as this. Hearing various stories of pain and tragedy inspires because of the way the information is delivered. I plan on sharing this with a lot of people.

Almost didn't get this book because I didn't want a book with "higher Power" terminology. But I got it and found it was a book from an author who seeks to help identify PTSD and gives the best tips from a godly perspective. This approach is sustainable and so glad I have these tools.
