Healing The Wanting - The Foundation Trilogy BOOK THREE: From Grasping to Gratitude -- The Practice of Living Whole (Healing The Wanting: The Foundation Trilogy 3)

You’ve begun to heal. Now how do you stay free?

If you’ve read Books 1 and 2 of the Healing the Wanting series, you understand what wanting is and you’ve started the healing process. Book 3 is where you learn to maintain that freedom long-term.

This isn’t another book about “just think positive” or “be grateful.” This is a practical guide for people who’ve done the hard work of recognizing their patterns and beginning transformation. Now you need tools for integration, maintenance, and sustainable freedom.

What You’ll Learn:

Chapter 1: Healthy Desire - The crucial distinction between desire that expands you and wanting that diminishes you

Chapter 2: From Grasping to Gratitude - The practice of “throwing the switch” from desperate grasping to genuine appreciation

Chapter 3: Maintaining Your Freedom - Soul retrieval, power reclamation, and building inner resources that last

Chapter 4: Calm Awareness - Staying present without hypervigilance; catching patterns early with compassion

Chapter 5: When Old Patterns Return - Working with the spiral of healing (because setbacks are part of the process)

Chapter 6: Reclaiming Your Power - Standing in dignity when life challenges your healing

Chapter 7: The Happiness Framework - Creating joy that doesn’t depend on external circumstances

Chapter 8: Integration & Continuing Growth - Making healing a way of life, not just a temporary project

Plus: A comprehensive Practices Library organized by situation, need, and timing—your ongoing reference guide.

Who This Book Is For:

• Anyone completing Books 1 and 2 who wants to maintain their healing
• People in recovery from addiction, codependency, trauma, or poverty mindset
• Those who’ve done therapy but need practical integration tools
• Readers who struggle with relapse into old patterns
• Anyone tired of “self-help” that doesn’t address real life challenges
• Therapists and coaches looking for client resources

What Makes This Different:

This series uniquely combines personal healing work with awareness of systemic forces. You’ll understand both WHY patterns exist (personal wounds + cultural conditioning) and HOW to heal them practically. No toxic positivity. No victim-blaming. Just honest, trauma-informed guidance for people doing the real work.

Important Note: While Book 3 can be read standalone, it builds directly on Books 1 and 2. For maximum benefit, start with Book 1: What You’re Really Hungry For.
