Heal Your Past to Manifest Your Future: Trauma-Informed Practices to Release Emotional Blocks and Open to Life's Possibilities

by Anna Kress PsyD

An empowering guide to help you heal the pain of the past, find emotional balance, and achieve the abundance, success, and happiness you deserve.

Has anyone ever told you that you can make good things happen if you just think positively? The law of attraction, which is largely based on the idea that positive thoughts and emotions attract positive outcomes—is one of the most popular self-help movements of the last few decades. But if you’ve experienced trauma, you may struggle to think positively, or feel too anxious to believe in an abundant and joyful future. This is especially true if you have unhealed childhood trauma.

Written by a psychologist and trauma expert, Heal Your Past to Manifest Your Future acknowledges the profound impact of past trauma on your ability to imagine, move toward, and create a life you truly love; and offers a three-step process to regulate your nervous system, “reparent” your inner child, and rewire your brain to open to new possibilities.

If you’ve been curious about manifestation but are wary of the “hashtag blessed” and “good vibes only” aspects of this practice that are so often front and center on social media, this compassionate guide offers a unique, trauma-sensitive approach to help you heal the past, release emotional blocks, reclaim a sense of safety and hope, and make your dreams a reality.

Fantastic introduction to the topic - brief but potent, and easily accessible but sound in research. Touches on various aspects and provides enough material for the reader to recognize themselves, begin doing work, and seek out further guidance.

The most life-changing book I have ever read. It’s a library loan, but I’ll own a copy soon—and I’ll be pushing it on all my friends. I’m no stranger to manifestation and have successfully manifested truly impossible, life-altering things. Still, this book fills the gaps that every other book left open and surpasses them all. Of all the books by philosophers, scientists, psychologists, and gurus I’ve read in an effort to heal from what has happened to me, this is the one text I am most grateful for.

I knew next to nothing about manifesting prior to reading this book. It was very informative, insightful and inspiring. Would highly recommend.

This book is compassionate, clear, and so helpful. Anna Kress shows how to heal from the past while learning to manifest in a real and practical way. She explains how to calm your nervous system, care for your inner child, and open your mind to new possibilities. Unlike other manifestation books, it doesn’t ignore real struggles- it gives hopeful and doable steps forward. Truly life changing.

Simultaneously informative, engaging, and empowering. This is an excellent read.

[Yvette Le Blowitz · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this book to be so interesting, informative and helpful as it focused on how to manifest as a trauma survivor.

I learnt so much from this book, things I never knew before.

If you have been finding it really difficult to manifest your future because you can’t heal your past this book will help you on your manifestation path and life journey.

Gentle yet powerful! Really explains what manifesting is and how to get there. It’s not just positive thinking, it’s a lot deeper. This book discusses how to heal yourself from past wounds that could be blocking you from living as your best self. There’s psychological theory to explain. Has exercises and practical examples. It lays a great layman’s terms foundation of Internal Family Systems therapy. Great read! Thank you to my cousin Donna for giving me this book!!

Con este libro aprendí un montón de cosas que desconocía de mi cerebro y mi capacidad como humano.

Definitivamente fue un libro que tienes que ir leyéndolo parte por parte para poder ir procesando todo.

Definitivamente es un libro que voy a recomendar mucho.

Thank you, Kimmie for getting me this book. (I know you read these) I’ll definitely be rereading this many times and incorporating the exercises in my life

[Jennifer Turgiss · Rating 5 out of 5]

I learned so much from this book. I especially liked the exercises throughout the book that helped me learn how to apply the important concepts presented. This book covered a lot of territory but was put together in a way that made it very digestible, easy to understand, and most importantly, to put it to use.
