Resumen del Editor

There's a cost to being a certain kind of strong.

When it comes to difficult circumstances, we’ve all heard the platitudes: “No pain, no gain.” “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” But if we spend our lives trying to be “the strong one,” we become exhausted, burned-out, and disconnected from our truest selves.

What if it were different? Could there be a different way to be strong? Could strength mean more than pushing on and pushing through pain, bearing every heavy burden on our own? What if, instead, true strength were more like the tide: soft and bold, fierce and gentle, moving together as one powerful force?

In Strong like Water, author and trauma therapist Aundi Kolber offers a framework for true flourishing. With each page, you’ll:

• Learn how your nervous system shapes your experience so that we can move through pain instead of being stuck in it.
• Explore various practices, rhythms, and resources to support you in challenging circumstances with compassion and hope.
• Discover how to internalize connection, love, and safety―empowering you with greater resilience.

A different, more expansive way of healing, wholeness, and possibly―especially―strength is possible. We were made to be strong like water.

Healing and helpful tools and insights! And Christ centered!

Thank you Aundi! We have been waiting for a book like this! I’m a Christ centered Marriage and Family Therapist and can’t tell you enough how encouraging and helpful your book has been to me and my clients! God bless YOU!

From a trauma therapist...

I love this book and cannot recommend it enough. It takes all of my clinical and theoretical leanings and blends them together beautifully with a sincere, lived-out faith. If you can't go to therapy, but need it, start here. I just finished Kolber's follow-up book, Strong Like Water, and think it is a phenomenal follow-up to this one, providing many uncomplicated practices to help calm your nervous system.

Bring tissue…

I was crying within the first 10 minutes and not sure I stopped.

Such a deep, yet assessable, look at what it means to “work through” the trauma you and I have experience. Littered with helpful tips and resources while giving psychological insight and Scriptural support. I loved the author’s first work “Try Softer” but this might be better… it was definitely what I needed.

excellent. authentic. practical

tells relevant stories. describes human emotion well. gentle with traumatic experience. gives paced routes for intervention and growth.

Can’t wait to finish…..

I tried to listen, but I need to see the words with this book.

I’ll buy the digital copy and try again!

Incredible

I loved this book- I felt so seen and helped through the pages. I will reread and keep using many of the practices as I work through parts of my story.
To anyone who wants to heal and step further into being their authentic selves- read/listen to this book!

Very excited to share this book!

This book brings along with it the gift of clarity. Aundi’s work came highly recommended, and did not disappoint. I will buy this book for many people as it’s simplistic, yet very deep truths are clearly understood and easily implemented. An excellent roadmap for healing.

Narration was distracting

I tried to listen to this book several times and couldn’t figure out what it was that wasn’t landing for me. I finally figured out it was the tone and rhythm of the narrator who used the same rhythm pattern every several syllables, and repeated it over, and over. I know this is really subjective, but it was distracting for me.
