    Channels of Peace

    Using psychology and spirituality to transform your family

    Samantha Duggan PhD

    What happens when the tools of psychology meet the mystery of faith—right in the middle of parenting, pressure, and emotional chaos?

    In this honest and reflective book, behavioural psychologist Samantha Duggan tells the story of how her clinical training, long-term recovery, and spiritual journey converged in the most ordinary and sacred of places: family life. Starting from a place of scepticism and science, she slowly found herself drawn into faith—not despite her rational mind, but because of it. What followed was a quiet but radical shift: one that changed how she saw herself, her children, her work, and her purpose.

    Blending psychological insight with spiritual depth and a healthy dose of wry humour, Channels of Peace invites readers to explore how peace can be practised—right where life is loudest.
