Catherine and Frank Fabiano have written a very useful book and a worthy addition to the growing literature dealing with inner healing. They have taken the expertise provided by their professional training in developmental psychology and integrated it with the insights and effectiveness of inner healing. They demonstrate and teach how to bring emotional and spiritual healing to those struggling with issues arising from conception through adulthood. Though there are now several good inner-healing books in print, this is one of the best. I highly recommend it for practitioners and for those struggling with emotional and spiritual problems.
DR. CHARLES H. KRAFT
Author of Deep Wounds, Deep Healing and Defeating Dark Angels
The journey to uncovering buried pain can seem like an uninvited interruption, but it is completely necessary if one is to laugh easily and love life. In Healing Your Past, Releasing Your Future, the Fabianos use real-life stories and vast knowledge to help us learn to embrace Gods complete healing for our past wounds and disarm the lodged memories that hold us captive. This book is an excellent and engaging resource for individuals, parents and ministers who truly desire to live out their true limitless heritage as children of God.

CONTENTS
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Healing Your Past, Releasing Your Future is born out of many years of prayer ministry to those wounded on their journey through life. We can never find the words to fully express our thankfulness to the Lord for the wisdom and understanding He has revealed to us so that He might heal and restore our own souls as well as the souls of countless others. We are in awe of the desire of the Lord to heal even the most wounded among us and restore our eternal destiny in His kingdom. Lord, we are eternally grateful.
This entire project has been an experience of Gods grace from start to finish. Many people have come alongside us to offer prayer support, encouragement and practical help.
We send our special thanks to our grown children, Chris and Todd, and to our families, who have loved and inspired us over the years.
We are thankful to so many friends who have stood with us through these years. To those named and unnamed, we thank you with all of our hearts.
The prayers of many have sustained us, but there is one who has been our anchor in the spirit: Anne Marie Carlier. This project was born in prayer and sustained by prayer. Its success is, in large part, the fruit of her faithful intercession and the exact spiritual insights we needed at the perfect moment. We could not have done it without you. To Corrina Broulliard, our longstanding prayer warrior, who has also labored in the spirit to see this project birthed. Corrina has been our research assistant and has found hidden treasures on the Internet that have been invaluable in this project many thanks.
To all of our YWAM family in every corner of the world, you all have been a source of inspiration and insight from the Lord. Thanks Danke Gracias Dank Merci etc.
Our deep and abiding thanks to John and Paula Sandford, who have pioneered in the revelation of healing hearts and souls with the Lord and have inspired us and personally heartened us to see this project birthed.
A very special thanks to Jackie Pullinger, our dear friend and one of our strongest advocates, who personally recommended the publishing of this work.
Regal Publishing, your faith in and commitment to the project have made it a reality, and for this opportunity we are most grateful. You have made it possible for us to fulfill our mandate from the Lord. A special thanks to Kim Bangs, our editor and project manager, who has become a dear friend and prayer partner through this venture to publication.
Last but not least, we want to thank all those who have opened their hearts to receive the ministry and have encouraged us to write the book. Without you, there would be no ministry and no book.
FOREWORD
The first six years of life are the incarnating years. We are not speaking of physical incarnation. A persons spirit resonates in every cell of his or her body, from conception to death. But sometimes people do not motivationally accept being who they are as spirit, soul and body, thus failing to incarnate fully into who they are meant to become. Traumas and our reactions may cause us to withdraw or rebel. When either happens, we bury a portion of who we are, until eventually, having failed to incarnate, we lose even what we think we have (see Luke 19:24).
Even among born-anew Christians, many have persisted in thinking that the past is the past and has no effect on them. Unfortunately, too many people resist becoming aware that they have carried their
