Is it possible that you have acquired a Soul Injury? A Soul Injury is a wound that separates you from your real self. The “real self” not only includes the “best version” of yourself, it includes the worst version and everything in-between: the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful. You may not be healed by the words on these pages, but you might meet your brave self – the part of self that is holding your un-mourned loss/hurt, unforgiven guilt/shame, and fear of helplessness/loss of control. It is often quite a reunion!

West of Wisdom Review:
Soul Injury by Deborah Grassman
By Louise Sutherland-Hoyt
An Audacious Reflection From the Front Lines of the Soul
This is not just a book review. This is a love letter to a body of work that has cracked me open and rearranged the way I understand trauma, grief, and the invisible wounds we carry. As a therapist, I’ve walked alongside people through the dark caverns of suffering—but until I encountered Soul Injury, I lacked adequate vocabulary for the silent exile in which so many of us dwell: the severing of parts of ourselves we had to cast away in order to survive. This work speaks to me with just the right words in tending to my own Soul Injury.
Deborah Grassman isn’t shy about speaking the uncomfortable truths others avoid because Soul Injury shakes the foundations of our clinical protocols and interventions. She boldly ventures past mere symptom management, delving into the shadow realm of soul restoration. In a landscape cluttered with quick fixes and sterile evidence-based checklists, Grassman delivers a revolutionary challenge: An unwavering presence, raw emotional honesty, and a daring call to reclaim our true selves. And she graciously walks the talk.
What Grassman teaches us is not therapy as usual. It’s spiritual triage for the emotionally abandoned, betrayed, and isolated. Her language—soul injury, unmourned loss, self-abandonment-is like kindling to a fire long smoldering inside many of us. It burns. It illuminates.
Clinically, this work demands courage. It asks us to stop performing expertise and instead step into shared humanity. In my sessions now, I hold more silence. I create more space. I released the fantasy that we can talk our way out of trauma. Instead, I invite the body, the mind, the exiled soul to have their say. That shift came directly from Deborah’s past works, and is now re-validated in Soul Injury.
If you’re a therapist, a caregiver, or simply a human who’s tired of pretending you’re fine—read this. But don’t expect comfort. Expect truth. Expect language for the ache you and your patients have been carrying. Expect the unexpected: that the path to freedom might just be through the pain you’ve spent a lifetime avoiding.
Deborah Grassman has given us a sacred tool, and I, for one, am not interested in whispering about it. I’m here to pass the torch.
A piece of my story is woven into this book—not as a mere footnote, but as a testament that cries out for recognition. Because I, too, have fought to reclaim those exiled fragments of myself that I once believed were irredeemable.
