Thawing The Spirit - Blending Science With Spirituality
Don Carter offers Thawing the Spirit as a distillation of personal, professional, academic, and spiritual experience as he approaches four decades of service with advanced certification and experience in the treatment of trauma, complex PTSD, attachment wounds, mood disorders, addictions, and relationship issues.
Thawing the Spirit ~ Blending Science and Spirituality with a Biblical Perspective tells us to STOP focusing solely on the symptoms of emotional or psychological distress that brought us to recovery. We need to use them to trace back, unpack, and heal the root cause of symptoms of trauma, C-PTSD, attachment wounds, depression, anxiety, addictions, compulsions, and relationship issues.
Just released in print and digital formats in March of 2023, Thawing the Spirit is now another course in the Serenity Cafe Academy. Taking time to go through this course, studying each video lesson vs skimming through them. You will be amazed how the Bible blends with science, even into the field of quantum physics.
Don Carter MSW, LCSW
Therapist, Author, & Recovery Coach
The middle of seven children, Don grew up on a farm with hard-working parents who had their own issues from childhood. The farm work led to a scholarship to play football at the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1977-79. He followed that with a brief stint with the New Orleans Saints in 1980. That experience was cut short by a developing problem with alcohol and drugs.
A series of childhood tragedies, depression, anxiety, and bouts with addictions led him to an inpatient treatment program in 1986. Don found treatment and recovery such a profoundly gratifying experience that he returned to school, finished two degrees, became a licensed therapist, and for the past 35 years has dedicated himself to helping others find their way out too.

What Else is Inside This Book and Course?
The first five chapters in the first five books in the Thawing the Iceberg Series are identical. These chapters outline my Iceberg Model. In this way, each book stands alone and does not require the purchase of other books in the series. Ten years later, this book presupposes you have read at least one of the other books.

Interestingly, secular and spiritual models of personality agree on the basic structure:

Total Monetary Value: That Depends on You!
The REAL Value is Determined by You and Your Level of Commitment. It will be Worthless if You Don't Do the Work, Priceless if You Do!
I can offer the tools and I can join you on the journey, but YOU have the hard part! YOU have to take the steps, complete the work, and follow the path(s). While this does NOT require perfection it does call for commitment and discipline. You need to ask yourself how badly you want it.
There is only one of me and my availability ebbs and flows. There may be a lag in taking on new clients from time to time. If you see the options to enroll in counseling or coaching below, it means I am currently taking new clients. The option to sign up for the courses will always be available.
Although they can enhance professional help, these courses are not meant to replace professional evaluation and therapy. If you don't get that with me as your counselor or don't already have a counselor, please reach out to someone for evaluation and recommendations.
CRISIS INFORMATION: If you are feeling like hurting yourself, having an emotional crisis, or even thinking of suicide STOP and go to a local emergency room or call a local law enforcement agency. Click Below for resources to find help in the USA:
If you feel competent to work through the courses on your own, feel free to do that. Just know that I am there almost 24/7 via live chat. You can also ask questions at the live webinars and events. You can also message me and text me with questions from the portal.
Even though I am there for support, doing them with an accountability partner or group is even better! Invite a close, safe, like-minded friend or friends to join with you. Let me know when any one you invite takes you up on it and I will give them a 50% off coupon to join you. (Limited to 5 people)
If your partner is your therapist or coach, I will enroll them for free under your name. Once on board in my client portal, message me. I will get them enrolled under your name.
REFUND POLICY: If you are not completely satisfied with a specific coaching or counseling session, I will refund 100% of your money for that specific session. (Subscriptions are not refundable due to the downloads.)
