Healing Process

12 Stages to mental / emotional / spiritual healing

The healing process is fascinating. I have my take on it. I’m not a medical or psychological doctor by formal training but I was trained, in the spirit, how to heal from my own mental health challenges years ago. I’ve found the process to be identical for each person who has healed from a mental health challenge. The details are unique, but the high-level process is the same. It is fun to heal, and the challenges are often seen as a great gift in hindsight, looking back at the “crisis.”

This post has a paywall for some content, the first of its kind behind a paywall. If you are looking for insights on healing for yourself or another though, it will be worth the tiny fee. There is a free trial, so experience it first and cancel if you wish.

There are twelve stages I’ve outlined for the process. Each has a unique duration per person. Though it may be possible to go from one stage to another without revisiting the previous, I have not seen anyone do that. I revisited previous stages when I fell into doubt, insecurity, or confusion. When our system strengthens in confidence and resolve, we leave stages behind fully, much like the space shuttle shedding stages of its rockets as they are no longer needed or a child leaving behind an outgrown “blankie”, no longer needed to feel connected, whole, and safe.

I used to judge myself for revisiting stages and would have moved more quickly had I trusted that the revisitation was part of the process.

It is helpful to drop all comparisons to others. You will have your experience and nothing can compare. Trust your process. Trust your timing. But these stages seem to be necessary to realize true health.

On the other side of the paywall, you will discover details for each stage, including audio recordings with explanations and exercises.

Everything shared will be descriptive, not prescriptive. Like a young person learning to play basketball, the player progresses over time. Everyone learned to dribble, pass, shoot, defend, run plays, etc.… That is the process level we will be going through regarding healing. The reality of execution requires the player to engage supported by coaching, court time, practice, game time, etc… You could tell people about basketball, but they must have their own experience with it to really understand. That is the same here. You are the only one who can pick up the ball to experience your health.

Let’s do this…
