Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for You

*Empathy--a proven path to healthier emotions and relationships*

When we experience worry, hurts, triggers, and conflict, we often attempt to suppress our emotions, keeping God and others at a safe distance. The result? Our deep need for empathy gets stifled and we settle for shallow relationships with God, family, and friends.

In Deeply Loved, psychologist Bill Gaultiere and therapist Kristi Gaultiere weave together engaging true stories with compelling insights from Scripture and modern psychology to help you

- *grow* in self-empathy and resist judging your emotions
- *learn* how to release distress and receive comfort from God and others
- *practice* the Four A's of Empathy for yourself and others
- *engage* Bible-based empathy practices to know you are deeply loved by Jesus

Empathy is life-giving, transformative, and empowering. It relieves stress, renews energy, and enables you to resolve conflicts and develop close, loving relationships. And with the help of this book, it's closer than you think.
