I am so honored to have Dr. Michelle Bengston on the show today to share about her new book Sacred Scars and address gender affirming care from a mental health perspective.

Scars are permanent. Whether they are physical, emotional, spiritual, or other, they are a perpetual part of us. They are reminders of the pain and suffering we have endured, and as such, can bring us shame, rejection, and pain.

Dr. Michelle Bengtson expands our understanding of these permanent marks in Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted (Revell, June 2024). As a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with numerous physical and emotional scars, Dr. Bengtson shares stories of life’s wounds and subsequent healing from her life and 20+ year private practice in her newest release.

Dr. Michelle Bengtson is an international speaker, a national and international media resource on mental health, and the bestselling, award-winning author of Hope Prevails, the Hope Prevails Bible Study, Today Is Going to Be a Good Day, Breaking Anxiety’s Grip, and The Hem of His Garment. She is also the host of the award-winning podcast Your Hope-Filled Perspective. A board-certified clinical neuropsychologist in private practice for more than twenty years, Dr. Bengtson blogs regularly and offers a wide variety of resources on her website, DrMichelleB.com.
