Coming Home: to God, Self, Truth, and Purpose

Coming Home: To God, to Self, to Truth, and to Purposeby Jessica Ellis-Bulgin, LPCCWhat if healing isn't about becoming someone new-but about returning to who you were always meant to be?In Coming Home, licensed therapist, mental health advocate, and woman of faith Jessica Ellis-Bulgin invites readers on a courageous journey of restoration that bridges faith, psychology, trauma, and lived experience. With honesty, compassion, and clinical wisdom, she dismantles the idea that faith requires performance, silence, or suffering-and offers a more integrated, life-giving path forward.This book is for those who love God but feel disconnected from themselves. For the helpers who pour endlessly yet feel depleted. For believers navigating grief, depression, trauma, or exhaustion while still trying to "do everything right."Drawing from her personal story and nearly fifteen years of clinical experience, Jessica explores:How fear, trauma, and survival responses affect faith and mental healthThe difference between discernment, diagnosis, and deliveranceWhy therapy, boundaries, and rest are not a lack of faith-but acts of wisdomWhat it truly means to reclaim love, power, and a sound mindHow to move from survival into purpose without performanceThrough reflective pauses, practical insights, and deeply human storytelling, Coming Home creates a safe space for readers to tell the truth, release shame, and begin healing at a pace that honors both faith and the nervous system.This is not a book about having it all together.It is an invitation to pause, breathe, and return.If you are tired of performing, faithful but exhausted, or longing to feel whole again, this book is for you.You are not broken.You may simply be homesick.
