Change Your Choices, Change Your Life: Discovering Your Path to Emotional Healing and Spiritual Growth

Part memoir, part therapeutic guide, this book pairs the personal story of Lowell Oswald—who grew up in a home marked by abuse and mental illness—with the clinical insights of counselor John Waterbury. Each chapter opens with a life lesson from Oswald's journey toward forgiveness and healing, followed by practical, faith-based principles for overcoming anxiety, depression, and unhealthy patterns of behavior. Grounded in scripture and the Atonement of Jesus Christ, it offers hope to anyone striving to change their choices and, in turn, their life.

• A rare pairing of a licensed counselor's clinical tools with a survivor's deeply personal story of abuse and healing
• Gives LDS readers permission to seek therapy and medication without shame
• Redefines forgiveness as 'letting go of false hope for a better past'—a phrase that resonates with trauma survivors
• Two-part path: heal emotionally, then grow spiritually—practical and hopeful

Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint who survived childhood abuse or struggles with anxiety/depression and wants both faith-based hope and permission to seek professional help.
