* NEW RELEASE* Soul Injury: Healing the Relationship You Have With Yourself
$24.95
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.
Reviewed with heart, grit, and gratitude by Louise Sutherland-Hoyt—therapist, writer, senior intern with Opus Peace, and devoted witness to the soul’s return.

I cannot recommend this book enough! In my career, I have had the opportunity to work with authors who simply rehash their old material in slightly updated ways. Not Deborah Grassman! This book is not a regurgitation of her earlier books. Worthwhile for the novice coming to this topic for the first time AND people who have attended her workshops and talks. Grassman’s work on Soul Injury, stemming from her work with dying veterans, is the classical font of wisdom predating the current flooding of the field on books on trauma, self help and moral injury. Grassman blends excellent tools from the world of psychology with a call to reclaim the rich world of metaphor and myth to help us understand our lives as imbued with meaning that we too often bury with unhelpful coping strategies that mask our pain. Her work is not about overcoming and abolishing weaknesses. It is about learning to abide with and welcome our fullest selves. Grassman has clearly been learning lessons along the path as she has journeyed not just with Veterans, but with many different sources of Soul Injury. If you ever feel like you might be dealing with some kind of wounding that you now want to heal, this book should be at the top of your list!
