When 13-year-old Justine is sent to spend the summer at her eccentric Aunt Olga's farm, she expects nothing but a reprieve from school bullies filled with weeks of home-cooked meals and the smell of worn pages in her aunt’s book shop.
But then she discovers she has inherited a rare gift that runs in her family's bloodline – the ability to see spirits trapped between worlds. At first, the spirits appear as gentle whispers via mysterious lights or strange encounters.
As Justine learns to trust her newfound ability, she realizes not all spirits are willing to accept Justine’s help crossing over, and not all of them are gentle, like Justine’s own guardian angel.
With guidance from her aunt, who has kept her gift hidden for decades, Justine must learn to distinguish friend from foe in the spirit realm. When a particularly malevolent entity threatens her family and the peaceful spirits she's sworn to protect, Justine must choose to run from her gift or embrace it fully to help the lost souls who truly need her help.
In this atmospheric tale of family secrets, ancient powers, and the thin line between helping and harming, Justine discovers that the greatest challenge isn't seeing spirits – it's knowing what to do once you see them.
What if therapy could move beyond psychology alone and embrace the full spectrum of human experience: mind, body, and spirit?
In The Spiritual Therapist, Dr. Ingrid Thrall, PhD, introduces a practice-oriented model for clinicians seeking to integrate spirituality into therapeutic work. Rooted in established psychological theory and ethical standards, her approach expands the traditional framework to explore meaning, purpose, resilience, and divine connection as vital aspects of healing.
Drawing on her diverse background in psychology, mental health, sexology, energy science, and Christian faith, Dr. Thrall demonstrates how therapists can engage clients’ spiritual frameworks without compromising clinical rigor. Through research synthesis, clinical observations, and reflective insights, she defines the distinct role of the Spiritual Therapist: one who unites evidence-based techniques with compassion, presence, and Christ Consciousness.
This book is an essential guide for practitioners ready to cultivate deeper therapeutic alliances, address spiritual crises, and foster holistic transformation in their clients.
