WALK IN PURITYWhat it is
Dr. Elizabeth Stevens was practising psychiatry in the United States Air Force when a debilitating brain injury and a series of further traumatic events left her with PTSD. Unshackled is the long-form account of what followed — a clinician with the full technical vocabulary of her field finding that it did not release her, and the spiritual turn that became the hinge of her recovery. The combination is rare and useful: she can explain the mechanism and describe the helplessness in the same paragraph, which reaches readers that a purely clinical or purely devotional book does not. It matters in this directory because trauma sits underneath a large share of compulsive sexual behaviour, and because someone who has been told to pray harder about something physiological needs to hear a psychiatrist say otherwise. The free Focus on the Family broadcast with Stevens, also listed here, is the short version.
