It is perhaps the irony that makes this story so different from others. Carla has built a career in mental health, and spends her days helping others facing mental health challenges. She once thought she knew it all. She now knows she will always have much to learn.
It is in your darkest moments that you are faced with a choice. Will you be swallowed up in the shadows, or will you chase the light? Chasing Light may be just one woman’s story of a lifelong journey with depression and anxiety, but within its pages you will find pieces of yourself, or of loved ones on similar paths. Carla Harmer’s compelling desire to help others plunges her into a rare depth of honesty. She generously shares all that has shaped her and all that she’s learned along the way.
This is a REAL book. Carla shares her story, and is very real about it in the process. She doesn't think her life is perfect, nor all put together. Rather she shares her experience of dealing with Mental Illness, and its constant struggle, in order to help you in your battle with Mental Illness, or in helping your loved one(s) in their own struggles.
Thank you for sharing your story with us Carla! God Bless you in your process of healing.
This book was refreshing. I had to stop and have a good cry. The surrender chapter got me. I hate being blindsided by this. I'm doing okay then I'm not with no warning. Earlier today was a day that I decided to not give up...again.
