Stop Hurting, Start Healing Stop Hurting, Start Healing is not just another self-help book, it is an emunah-filled transformative journey to resilience and joy. In this magnificent work, Raquel Kirszenbaum — a renowned international speaker and educator — takes us on a dynamic quest from despair and difficulty to resilience and happiness. From the very first page, this powerful guide envelopes you in a warm embrace, leading you through the transformative process of healing, forgiveness, compassion, and ultimately self-acceptance. This isn’t merely a survival manual; it’s a vibrant roadmap that assures you that a meaningful and fulfilling life is very much within reach. The author brilliantly underscores a recurring truth: while we can’t control everything, we can steer our attitudes and perspectives. Every challenge, every relationship, every curveball life throws our way is an opportunity — for growth, for inspiration, for a deeper understanding, and sometimes even for discovering unexpected blessings. Drawing from a well of personal experience with adversity, the author reveals her own vulnerability, successes and failures, and honestly reflects on her own challenges. And through it all, she gifts us with the liberating notion of accepting reality with the notion: "It is what it is... So, what’s next? What do YOU want to make of it? Who do YOU want to become?" This book echoes the famous saying, "hurt people hurt people," but flips it on its head, urging us to realize how we often hurt ourselves in the process. In a world brimming with pain and challenges, Stop Hurting, Start Healing offers a compelling reminder: things may not get easier, but we can still become better. It encourages us to use our pain as a bungee cord, propelling us to unprecedented heights and helping us uncover the best versions of ourselves. This is your invitation to stop lugging around the weight of past hurts and start gathering treasures of wisdom, strength, joy and emunah. Let Stop Hurting, Start Healing be your guide to a brighter, more resilient future and allow you to forge a deeper connection with Hashem. ____________________ “…deeply moving and insightful memoir… What sets Stop Hurting, Start Healing apart is Raquel's unwavering faith in the meaning and purpose of her journey, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds… I highly recommend it.” Rabbi Shimon Russell “…a very powerful book detailing how to deal with emotional pain… from a Torah perspective.” Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz By: Raquel
