    Does it feel like you experience life in a totally different way than others? Like you are living somewhere else, and you can't build connection or intimacy with God like others can?
    There's a good chance that you, like so many of us, have tried it all: read your Bible more, gone to church more, prayed more, and delved deeper into self-awareness. But you still struggle with discontent, anxiety, avoidance and doubt. You still feel stuck.
    No matter where you find yourself emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, Jesus meets you there and helps you move toward a place of peace and rest. As pastors, coaches, and educators, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw are very familiar with this struggle, and they are prepared to help. In Landscapes of the Soul, they draw on the science and spirituality of attachment theory, biblical wisdom, and the language of spiritual formation to show us why Christians tend to get stuck spiritually—and how to get unstuck and move forward.
    Whether you feel like you're living in a spiritual jungle, desert, or war zone, you will discover:
    
    - how you are designed to grow good roots through healthy relational attachment
    - how things go wrong through your often-distorted survival strategies
    - how God repairs your faith, hope, and love for Him, others, and ourselves
    - how Jesus quiets your anxious and avoidant faith
    - how to incorporate practices for building your security with God
    You aren't meant to live in the anxiety of a jungle, the desolation of a desert, or the chaos of a war zone. God designed you to live in joy and peace in relationship with Him, as if you are in a pasture, under the protective care of the Good Shepherd.

    You’re not weak. And you’re not broken.
     
    Your mind isn’t trying to hold you back—it’s trying to resolve something unfinished.
     
    In this first book of the Stop Living in the Past series, you’ll uncover the deeper psychological patterns behind rumination, emotional attachment, and the feeling of being unable to let go. Instead of forcing yourself to “move on,” you’ll begin to understand what your mind is actually doing—and why.
     
    Inside, you’ll discover:
    
     
    Why you keep replaying past conversations and memories
    
     
    The hidden emotional loops that keep you stuck in the past
    
     
    The difference between reflection and overthinking
    
     
    Why “just let it go” doesn’t work (and never has)
    
     
    What your mind is trying to resolve beneath the surface
    
    
     
    This is the understanding phase—the clarity that makes real change possible.
     
    If you’ve ever felt trapped in your own thoughts, constantly pulled backward instead of moving forward, this audiobook will help you see your patterns clearly—and begin to loosen their grip.
     
    This audiobook is part of a two-part series. Continue with Book 2 to learn how to apply these insights in real life.
