The first chapter gripped my heart and emotions. The stories are breathtaking, honest, and transparent. I wept through the first chapter and raced to start the next.

Anita shares from the deep painful places of her life and her walk with God. Through the power of her stories, we are given an intimate glimpse into the inner working of overcoming depression and times of brokenness. Getting Through What You Cant Get Over should be required reading for every person battling depression and for those who love them.

I love the descriptive stories and easy-to-read style in Getting Through What You Cant Get Over. Instead of offering preachy, instant answers, Anita Brooks offers solid tips. The variety of suggestions, including healing songs and scriptures, gives realistic hope for people in terrible situations.

Lucille Zimmerman, MA, licensed professional counselor and author of Renewed: Finding Your Inner Happy in an Overwhelmed World

Anita Agers-Brooks has penned not only a book about recovery from emotional and spiritual pain but a book packed with practical advice, insights, and tools to help you do exactly what she promises in her title, Getting Through What You Cant Get Over. By sharing stories of the painful experiences we encounter, Anita also makes it clear that we all have to deal with some form of post-traumatic stress; none of us are immune to grieving, hurting, emotional, and psychological pain, and the sooner we learn to treat ourselves kindly as we suffer, the healthier we will be. Her Insider Insights at the end of each chapter are perfect cheat sheets you can use to kick-start your day with music, scripture, and prayer. I have no doubt that I will refer to them often when my own inspiration runs low!

Anita uses true stories, powerful scriptures, and practical wisdom to take trembling hands and gently slip them into the healing hands of Jesus.

Cheryl Ricker, author of Rush of Heaven

Agers-Brooks dislikes people saying, Let go and let God. She says she desperately wanted to let go, but how do you let go of things you cant get over? Thats a question many of us ask. We all face those terrible times when life just doesnt work right. She presents a broad area of personal issues, and each chapter closes with practical and spiritual insights to enable readers to move through their own heartaches. I liked this book.

Getting Through What You Cant Get Over is an encouraging and inspiring read, especially for someone who has experienced depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

Dr. J. D. Stake, LPC LMFT-S

Getting Through What You Cant Get Over is a must-read for anyone who has personally experienced some sort of trauma in their lifetime, or has encountered someone with post-traumatic stress disorder. Anita Agers-Brooks effectively conveys her own inner struggles, as well as those of many others, and encourages us all to live in the reality of Gods grace, love, peace, and joy. Anitas Insider Insights, at the end of each chapter, give guidance for emotional healing, practical help, spiritual comfort, and prayer. Even though your heart will ache as you read the stories in each chapter, you will definitely benefit from Gods comfort offered in this book through His Holy Spirit.
