Don't Try This Alone: How to Build Deep Community When You Want to Hide from Your Pain

Read by the author.

Community holds the weightiness of your pain so that it won’t crush you.

Have you ever experienced the kind of pain that completely transforms how you show up in the world? Whether it’s in the form of betrayal, trauma, illness, grief, or abandonment, you’ve been left feeling alone, ashamed, and unsure where to turn for help. In those moments it’s easy to think, No one will understand what I’m going through. You start to pull back from community because you don’t know who to trust, feel too broken to be vulnerable, or think, Maybe they’ll leave anyway. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In her new book,Toni Collier opens up about her own experiences of walking through heartbreak, betrayal, and suffering. She shows the importance of being vulnerable and that in every tough circumstance, the way forward is always with God and His people. She boldly calls out the reasons you try to heal alone—so you can understand where the desire to isolate comes from—and shows you how to actually build the kind of community that can help you and keep you accountable on your journey. Toni will equip you to sustain healthy community and be the person who refuses to let others heal alone while

• discovering that healing is a hard, nonlinear, but worthwhile journey; • identifying problematic thoughts and the misguided responses from others that keep you trapped in toxic patterns; and • recognizing the qualities of safe people.

Don’t Try This Alone shows you that it’s possible to not only heal from the things that have broken you but build a strong, life-giving community to support you and speak love and truth into your life as God puts you back together again.
