The Empty Chair: When Healing Has No Witness
by Sakera E. Lane, LPC, CAADC, NCC
Some pain is carried in silence. Some grief goes unacknowledged. Some wounds remain unseen, even in spaces where you should feel safe. The Empty Chair: When Healing Has No Witness is for those moments-the times when you needed someone to see you, hear you, and simply sit with you, and no one did.
Sakera E. Lane weaves faith, clinical insight, and compassionate reflection to help readers:
Recognize and honor the pain they've carried quietly
Offer themselves self-compassion and rest without guilt
Understand how trauma and intergenerational patterns shape their body, mind, and heart
Set boundaries without shame
Integrate faith as a source of healing, not pressure
Through gentle reflections, scripture, and practical exercises-including the signature Empty Chair reflection-this book creates a safe space to slow down, be seen, and begin healing honestly and fully.
